Soulboy said:I don't get the comparisons with Valencia. He was a top player at Wigan for a couple of seasons before baconface invested the not insignificant sum of £17m on him.
Sinclair is nowhere near that standard so far. I watched Sinclair in both games against us last saeson and he did next to nothing to worry us.
As with every City player, he will get my backing but, and let's be realistic, if the rags bought him we would be pissing ourselves at the fact they were skint.
Strange signing, and in my humble opinion, not even as good as Adam Johnson, Hoilett, Moses or Walcott.
We let a similar type of player go just a couple of days ago for £1.3m... like I say, totally underwhelming. Certainly not one of the "bombs" predicted to shake the foundations of world football!
your name will also go on ze list!! (along with mine)Soulboy said:I don't get the comparisons with Valencia. He was a top player at Wigan for a couple of seasons before baconface invested the not insignificant sum of £17m on him.

Very well put, but according to the post about yours we don't understand the "real undercurrent dynamics that makes a sustainable squad for success" ... whatever the hell that is.
If true it's a strange signing and if anyone else near the top tried to sign him we'd be laughing.
Actually now that you mention it... no, I can't remember him being injured. Seriously he was injured? Intriguing.<br /><br />-- Tue Aug 07, 2012 10:12 am --<br /><br />blue wang said:taconinja said:I think the only thing I've learned today is that people drastically and surprisingly overvalue Adam Johnson.
do remember when he was injured last season, you cant say we did not miss him
Let's consider for a moment. Most people on one side of the argument are talking about how he's worlds apart from Sinclair and how anyone we bring in should challenge for a regular starting spot and things like that. Most people on the other side are saying that he's got skill but lacks pace and doesn't apply himself consistently. So... okay.hgblue said:taconinja said:I think the only thing I've learned today is that people drastically and surprisingly overvalue Adam Johnson.
Or, some people drastically and surprisingly undervalue Adam Johnson.
