It's quiet 10, no apologies! (continued)

[The Fat el Hombre]

As our first signing of the summer, we sign someone who did ok in a Swansea team - he's not exactly someone who you immediately think will storm the Champions league is he?

If we were fighting to get into the top 4 I'd consider it a good signing, but now we're champions fighting to regain the title, I think any team would expect better.

Put it this way, if the rags signed him would we be quaking or thinking that they are shopping in the bargain basement again?

Anyway, if true, welcome to City, hope you do well.

If the rags signed him I'd be absolutely pissing myself

Were you pissing yourself when they signed Valencia, who was no better for Wigan than Sinclair has been for Swansea? Some players evolve at big clubs, that is the idea of signing promising young players who have shown good ability (as Sinclair has). Of course some go the other way like Savic, but it's a calculated risk at such a transfer fee.

No I wasn't because Valencia was actually very good at Wigan unlike sinclair who's been distinctly average at swansea

Nevermind united, I'd be pissing myself if liverpool signed scott sinclair

Tolmie said just today to judge everything in its whole context. Sinclair rather than a very expensive wide player means we have more money for other needs. Sinclair has great pace which AJ does not, which renders him largely irrelevant to the team's options.

Sinclair

And, for example:

Agger for AJ and 12 million
De Rossi for 27 million

That would be a cracking window and will have covered all of our needs.

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!

I couldn't of put it any better myself.

Perhaps Mancini thinks he is more disciplined than Wiess and Johno.

He can mould him into shape like Rodgers did.

Ah, so Mancini aspires to be as good a manager as Rodgers now then?

Just out of interest... what shape?

He's fast. He gets his head down and runs. He rarely picks out a cross.

But if Mancini sees something in him, all well and good. Let's hope he doesn't just disappear off the radar like Adam Johnson and Milner have done.

Personally, I'd rather we kept the money in our pockets for when someone of real quality became available. This smacks of a Stuart Pearce / Frank Clark type signing.

Sorry. But, for me, the least inspiring signing since Bobby Shinton...

Has anyone looks at scott Sinclairs twitter he is a fuckin rag

And ?

He's from Bristol what do you expect?

Bath mate,different county.

 

[Andouble]

squad player that's needed, you can't sign 25m players to maybe make an appearance every 3 games or so, Dzeko aside, of course.

 

[Seosa]

this morning I was filled with optimism

Quality eyebrow mole.

I am not too impressed myself but the FFPR and the fact that Mancini has no faith in Johnson has meant we have to grin and bear it.

To be fair, a lot of City fans took the piss when they signed Valencia. 'Top Wigan player' (what an accolade that is btw) he might have been, but many people questioned his credentials as a rag, so I think the comparison is valid.

Great point that (Love city).. At the end of the day if he sign's for us he'll be a Manchester city player, so he'll get my backing...

Well hes not going to be a Everton player.
