From a selfish point of view i'd love to see him start tomorrow to see how good he is, but i feel Mancini will slowly bleed him into the side coming off the bench for now. Unless he's fully fit theres not a chance he'll start imo.
The thing is though (and I do agree with you), is that he has been brought here for a reason and to do a job, and since he is getting no longer and his loan deal is only til the end of the season, he should get right in there. Let's be honest, there is only a third of the season to go and Yaya will be back soon enough. I think he really should start. If he is out of his depth, too slow, not fit enough, then take him off and stick NDJ/Milner/Barry on for the last 45...we'll be fine.
I find it hard to believe you get a 32 yr old on loan...who's not fit...too slow...too small...and past it.
Surely Mancini must be lining him up for a starting role beginning this weekend.
