fukc that goon ballotelli off, he is a massive waste of money.

You must be new to football, 10goals in 19games doesn't look like a waste of money to me. If you want to talk about worthless wastes of money have a look at Dzeko.

I agree with bringing Caicedo back though.

No I'm not new to football and if he had stayed on the park more, id be saying brilliant start to a city career, but unfortunately the lad obviously isn't wired up right and is a typical example a spoiled brat who refuses to realize exactly how privileged his is. He is a talented liability id be happier with just the talent. We can only begin to wonder what Big Phil would of done with the same starts in this team.

If Pep left Barca he said he wants to manage Brescia where he played when he left. Even said he'd do it for free!

Big Phil will have benefited from his loan spell. But if we intended selling him anyway we should have kept him instead of Jo.

I wouldn't simply judge Pep on his performance as Barca manager. It would take an extremely bad manager to not make them worldbeaters, the wealth of talent they've got in pretty much every position.

Give me Caicedo over Jo any day

Short term there is a big lad playing in one the the less fashionable teams by the name of Caicedo. Looks like a premiership type of player, fukc that goon ballotelli off, he is a massive waste of money. Replace him with the big lad, give Carlos something to feed off

Through the cheque book at Pep Guardiola, he wants to come to Britain, so why not with the richest club in the country. Just imagine, attacking football!!! Messi? It could actually be fun watching City..........

I have heard about a decent mature goalkeeper over in Spain
Goes by the name of Big Bert.

Pep is not the manager you think he is, Barcelona have followed an attacking philosophy from their roots and that is all Guardiola an academy graduate knows. It is also all the players who come through the Barcelona system know, even the Barcelona B team play the exact same formation and style... Hence he has a steady stream of ready made players who know how to play the system and providing they are good enough will fit right in.

Bring him to City and it will take him at least 5 years to put together a side capable of even challenging for the title. The only player who fits into Barcelona's side in terms of the way they play being maybe a couple of centre backs and Silva and Tevez.

What a load of crap.

"He scored nine goals in 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying and finished as the second best scorer in UEFA qualification, tied with England's Wayne Rooney, both behind Greek striker Theofanis Gekas' 10 goals."

"He finished with a total of 26 league goals and 10 assists in 32 league matches. His goal tally was second only to teammate Grafite, with whom he formed the most successful strike duo in Bundesliga history."

"He scored his first UEFA Champions League goal on 30 September 2009 against Manchester United in a 2–1 defeat at Old Trafford. He was one of 30 players nominated for the 2009 Ballon d'Or. He was top scorer of the Bundesliga in the 2009–10 season with 22 goals scored."

Yeah what a shit player!! It's our formation that's messed up not Dzeko. Caicedo has done fuck all compared and he was shit here.

Some of you lot need to wake up and stop smelling bullshit, football doesn't work like Football Manager, you don't just plonk in a player and suddenly he starts scoring 50 goals a season. You need to build the TEAM around a striker who can score, we haven't done that with Dzeko, Mancini has just stuck him in and expected him to feed off zero chances and score.
