Not curious........if i think a player is not a great signing i will say it.
Most City fans particularly on here will defend everything and call all players amazing before they sign and prove to be average,then call anyone who doesn't 'big up' the player a Rag.
I don't slag any player off and support any wearing the shirt,including players who get slagged/blamed for any defeat ie kolo/Kolarov etc
So i find it 'curious' that not finding a player amazing makes me a rag??
He could very well be both.....AustinBlue said:southamptonblue said:gordondaviesmoustache said:What a curious statement.

The curious part of the statement is that you think that not being a Manc allows you to be more objective and a superior analyst of the team. Manchester born fans are too close to their team and cannot be as objective as you can be. So, "rag" might be inappropriate. But "plastic" might be appropriate, since you are saying that your lack of natural ties to the team lend to your superior analysis and you just aren't so emotionally attached.

How about his performances for Shakhtar Donetsk in Europe? Don't they count?southamptonblue said:samharris said:southamptonblue said:Not curious........if i think a player is not a great signing i will say it.

Hes not even played yet ffs..
Very true and when he does i'll support him if hes great or not......but i won't be telling everyone hes 'Amazing' until he has played for us and we know. My original point was that a 28yr old with 5 caps and not in the Brazil squad does not support quotes such as 'one of the best midfielders in europe'.Therefor not making him a signing that is exciting more a 'we will see'

It is possible to support city without the blue tinted specs and be objective sometimes...try it, your be far less tense! ;)
Ive been accused of being a Southampton fan in the past because i said Benjani was crap?
i sound 'raggish' because not being a Manc im more objective when criticising us.
DUCADO...believe what you like,there is at least one ex-member of the now defunct (and believe now re-opened) Wessex supporters club that i regularly travelled with on this site.
That is because he has great long range shooting same in real life again giving us something we currently lack.JustAnotherCityFan said:Inzi said:Fifa players out there, new squad update includes Fernandinho! Rated 79! talk about underrated
Yeah I played 3 online games with him in the team and he scored the first goal in all three! Wasn't even intentional he was just getting in all the right positions. Hopefully a sign of things to come.
