Boyata played 17 games in all competitions last season and if he hadnt lost his head against Arsenal he would have played even more.

Neville Kneville said:I've no problem with Mancini & think he's doing a fine job but as far as bringing yougsters through, well apart from Boyata, he hasn't, not at all. Just giving a player his debut doesn't count, you have to actually play them in order to 'bring them through'. He hasn't done that, he's just used them to fill holes in individual games.
He preferred to play Jo instead of any young players & that may have cost us Guidetti.
May also be that they're simply not up to it but either way it is most definitely a myth that he's done anything special for our Academy players so far.
Yep...that's pretty much what I was trying to say in a nutshell...

Believe me, that doesn't count.

mancini did play balotelli when the guy was 17 in the 10 most important games of mancini's career. while he was risking to lose a serie A titles he preferred a teenager to very experienced players like crespo and cruz.
mancini has got the courage for play the teenagers , if they are good enough.

Pity he didn't do the same at City rather than putting us through the ordeal of watching Jo.

So what about Cerci Mancio? Is he good enough?
BillyShears said:Mancini's record at City of giving youth it's head is shipping Nedum out on the basis that Boyata is better. Boyata then got himself sent off against Arsenal and was never seen again. Other than that - he's done fuck all for the young players coming through at our club. To be fair to him, it may well be that they're all just not good enough. My point is more in relation to the myth which is peddled by those obsessed with Hughes - which goes along the lines of: "Mancini brings through young players. Hughes would never had done that. He sent Hart out on loan, and Mancini recalled him" as if that one act makes him Arsene Wenger...
Mancini has given more first team debuts to Academy prospects than any manager since Kevin Keegan, and he's only a little behind him with Keegan been here for 4 years including in the First Division
Nimley, Cunningham, Boyata, McGivern, Wabara, Ibrahim, Vidal, Mee, Guidetti, Chantler, and Razak all made appearances in the first team under Mancini.
Hughes gave ONE guy his first appearance; Vladi Weiss in the final game of the season for ten minutes when we were already beating Bolton.
Boyata has made 26 appearances under Mancini, 9 of them since his Arsenal sending off. He played against Poznan, Juve, Villa, Reading, Sunderland, Liverpool, Blackburmn, Stoke and Bolton since his Arsenal sending off.
Mancini has literally brought through over DOUBLE the amount of youth players that Stuart Pearce did, a man who is recognised for this as part of his management.
Honestly Billy, you just keep showing yourself up as a man who has an extreme opinion and is blindly following it irrespective of the facts.

I have yet to ever see anything that convincing in Weiss, in the limited time he's had here on display he was more frustrating to watch than anyone with his inability to play even the simplest of balls without a step over or a trick, and he failed to set the world alive in the championship standard or Scotland
