Mancini DOES NOT play with wingers, and never will.
For that reason he would be wasted.
Anyone wanting us to purchase him despite this, is a stupid boy/girl pike.
It is OK not to play wingers, but you have to make up the pace in the attacking mids, we have no pace there!
I personally think we will never win the CL without wingers or pace, even if its a plan B
Barca, Madrid, Bayern, Dortmund even the Rags have either or both of pace or wingers!
Bale would be perfect for us in my opinion, him and Clichy on that left side would be dynamite, even Zaba and Bale on the right would monstrous!
We need a Bale type player in my opinion.
Mancini disagrees and for that reason it is pointless buying him while Bobby is boss.
Then why was he after Sanchez the season before last and why did he buy a winger in the close season (albeit he hasn't used him)?
