1st..i never go to a game and slag a player off....EVER!!! (UNLIKE SOME FANS)
2ND...Yes its ok to do it on a forum which is about opinions
3rd...do youthink garrido and rsc are good enough or not?...is it slagging them off to say in my opinon they are not good enough...i certainly dont go questioning their mental state etc etc as some do about ireland...now that is slagging off...all i do is question their footballing ability (after all it is a football forum!!!!!!!!!!!)....it has nothing to do whether i like them or not (im sure garrido and rsc are both very nice people!)

I cannot comment at what you are like at games can I as I do not know who you are so all I can judge you on is how and what you post on here - and I have to say you are in my honest opinion a poster whose posts are VERY negative, but I am sure your support, fervour and positivity is second to none at the games, I can tell that based on your boundless enthusiasm and positivity on this board

LOL...jump off the bandwagon mr swales.....so my posts are negative are they....??

like my positive posts about balotelli, yaya, boateng, silva, ireland, robinho, and the fact that RM has brought the team together as a real unit (especially defensively)....yeah they are all negative.....

i post opinions about players, tactics and possible transfers....some will be negative as i believe that a minority of players, and occasional tactics arent correct.....othertimes i post very positive abuot players, potential and where this club is heading.......

just cause i think there is still room for improvement and i dont see EVERYTHING throuhg blue tinted specs doesnt make me negative...

its typical of peoples reaction on this board....eveytime someone posts something that others dont agree with or dont like there is one of two reactions...1....ur a rag, 2....ur negative......its such an obvious and boring comeback.

and you never answered my question...do you think rsc and garrido are good enough?????

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Mancini isn't stupid. If Balotelli becomes available, we will sign him without question. This kind of talent doesn't become available that often and when it does you take it.

Folks talking about Dzeko and Adebayor - they aren't in the same league of talent.

I would strongly disagree with that.

Exactly. Some people on this forum need to stop complaining if someone posts an opinion that isnt exactly what they want to hear.Good post mate.

I dont have to answer your question do I?

However you have posed it a few times so I will give you my answer - I try not to make public comments about present City footballers and I see this forum as public; I tend to react to comments on here I disagree with, and particularly the ones that annoy me, and over the last 3 months your's have annoyed me more than anyone else's (I may be wrong to be annoyed by you regularly but it does not change the fact that I am). So I do not make public comments about our players or potential players, if thats ok for you?

In terms of the 2 that you mention, the ones you have particularly slagged off over the last 3 months, well one of them I know personally so it would not be fair or impartial of me to comment.

lots of people post things I disagree with, aint got a problem with that, it is his regular negativity that does my head in, be it Ibra, Garrido, RSC, and many others; so if its ok for him not to like them (and say so) then its ok for me not to like him (and say so) - isn't it?<br /><br />-- Sat Jul 17, 2010 11:38 am --<br /><br />

I would not know, I assumed gross, it was quoted in one of today's papers (express I think) and as it did not say net then I assumed it was gross, but I could not be sure

bloody hell mr swales...you are a sensative soul arent you?!?!

Well at least you are honest that part of your opinion on one of the players i dont think is good enough is not based on a footbaling point of view (which mine is) but the fact that you know the player...thats fair enough i suppose...sticking up for a friend etc...i can understand that

yes i dont want those players you mention to play for city...but its not negaitve..i just dont think they are good enough....its a bloody opinion...if you dont like them fair enough....but im not being negative about the club....im just giving an opinion thats all

and again you fail to acknowledge the positive posts that i make....which there are numerous of....i like to give a very balanced view...but of course tha wouldnt suit your arguement would it

so here is one...i have criticised RM for his tactics (you would say this is negative)...howevevr when people were calling for him to be sacked at the end of the season i was one who said he shoudlnt besacked as it destablise the club and also because i thought he deserved a chance to show what he could do with his own players...i also said he had done a very good job in improving the defensive side of the teams game....

but people like you only see the first part....and fil to see the second and jump on their high horse about it!!!

Why some people come onto forums like this i dont know.....if you cannt handle other peoples opinions which you may not agree with then you shouldnt be here.....i love to debate about footbal (particularly city) which is what i do here...i will challenge peoples views but i certainly dont get annoyed/angry/whatever if someone posts something that i dont agree with..ill argue against it but never because it angers me

think you need to chill mate

[Lomas has a lob on]

Just looking on news now, and a couple of articles have arose where his agent is saying a few clubs are in the race to sign Ballotelli, Chelsea maybe being one of them. No doubt just a ploy to raise the stakes, but you never know.

 

[Anonymous]

yeah .... with a reported £20m bid from City, Inter will obviously throw names like Rags and Chelski to the media to try and get City to raise the bid.

There's no way the Rags or Chelski will pay more than £20m for a player thats untested in the PL. Unless the player is in the class of Messi. Torres etc which Ballotelli clearly isnt.

need to wake up more than I need to chill, did not get half way through this post it is so dull simon; but regarding the player I know, and the one I do not know, I made no comment as to my view of their ability

Wouldn't suprise me however if Chelsea were waiting in wings on this one, Ancelotti no doubt will no plenty about him, and he has also this week been openly talking about him, saying how he'd suit the premiership.

Hi, inter fan here.
I found this forum looking around opinions from MC fans about Balotelli.
I've decided to post since I've been reading some things that are obviously wrong.
First of all: Yes, Balotelli has been racially abused, but not as much as you make it sound. The thing is, Balotelli is a jerk, as a person, and that's it. For example: http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/ital...-balotelli-given-police-warning-following-toy.

He's been abused especially by Juve and Chievo fans and in some other stadiums. He enjoys provoking other team's fans and behaving like an asshole to everyone.
He's neved been racially abused by his own fans, he's been whistled because he's done some very bad things. Apart from having zero workrate and teamwork he's lazy and when things don't go his way he starts doing stupid things like diving (let's see how that goes in England where everyone hates it) and kicking opposition players so he always finishes the match with a yellow card.

He once refused to sit on the bench because he thought he should have started before Eto'o and Milito, so Mourinho sent him to the stands. He insulted Mourinho and the whole team in the locker room once and that's why he didn't play for 2 months. During this 2 months he wore Milan's shirt on TV which as you can imagine it's an insult to the whole Inter team, staff and fans. When he was getting back on the team the Barcelona incident happened, he wasn't being racially abused he was being whistled for behaving like a prick during the most important match of the season when Inter were barely holding a 3-1 lead. After that he continued acting stupid until the end of the season knowing that Mourinho had to play him because we had too many matches and Pandev was injured.

He also could have got the starting spot when Eto'o went to the African Cup but he lost it to the new signing Pandev because he didn't do anything, not even run, for 2 matches and we drew against Siena at home, dead last team of Serie A.

It may seem that I'm being too harsh on him but that's how he is and that's also why he's hated so much everywhere except at S.Siro. Even after all this I don't want Inter to sell him. I think he's got the ability to become one of the best players in the world if he gets his mind sorted out. I'd like him to stay at Inter one more year until we decide that he's a lost cause.
If you sign him he'll be capable of doing the best and the worst things all in the same match.

I hope you understand my point.

very good move mate.

we must fight together to convince the British to let us Balotelli.

but I fear that we will succeed to convince Mancini .....

anyway .... FORZA INTER

Good post mate and welcome to the forum.

Balotelli would certainly be a gamble for any team that signs him as there is no doubt he has great ability but doesnt seem to have the mentality to make the most of his talent. I think some fans are wrong in saying all we have to do is show him some love and he will become a great player for us because the same thing was said about robinho and that hasnt worked out. The big hope is that he matures as a person and player and becomes one of the best in the world but it could easily go the other way, luckily we can afford to gamble on players and mancini obviously rates him highly so it could be a good move for him and for us.

 

[Barcon]

ekpiza, welcome to the forum, it's allways nice to hear other opinions of players we are linked with. I'm sure you have a lot more knowledge about Balotelli than I do but, I'm pretty sure that in the Barcelona game when he was brought on, one of his first touches was a poor shot or pass and the fans got on his back instantly.

 

[DaveH]

Sounds like a young Anelka

 

[LoveCity]

So to summarize, get Balotelli a good psychiatrist and he will be the best striker in the world?

 

[franksven]

Half that, then we have a deal.

Are you the Sheikh's negotiator then?

Just a guess, but i think a should be if we are going to pay a 19yr old that kind of money. I think he's good but not 160k good.
