It's Quiet 10 no apologies! (continued)

Leave me with the choice of having faith re Balo in your judgement or Mancini's. Forgive me, but I'm going with Roberto.

Forget his woeful performances against Arsenal and Liverpool especially.

I called out Savic and people said trust in Mancini, Savic is going now. Does that make me correct now? Do I have to wait for Balo to implode or be sold before I get my point accepted?

I do trust Mancini but i'd tell him as I do the board. Balo is nowhere near the levels of Falcoa and will never be. Falcoa is sublime and world class, Balo should make way for him. We rid ourselves of ridicule when he fucks up and we inherit a talent that is capable of downing teams single-handedly.

I stopped reading there

You rate Sinclair and Rodwell over Johnson and De Jong? 2 youn unproven players over people that feature for national team?

You still leave me with the same dilemma hough Nip - right or wrong on a particular player, do i trust the judgement / instincts of Mancini or you ?

Despite your belief if your own footballing wisdom I'm still going with Roberto

Do you think Sinclair was Mancini's first or second choice when it came to replacing Johnson?

Before others remark, I don't know, but compared to the caliber of player he has brought in before, I'd be surprised if it was.

 

[SWP's back]

Tolmie was wrong. He said we were signing Silva imminently iirc. Still no ink to paper and many calls have been wide of the mark.

I understand full well the transfer market is fast moving but not a single bomb has come off.

Don't be linking players when we are enquiring, save it for when its close to being done. For fucks sakes don't be claiming ITK status when most of the calls were wrong too.

Just my bit on that, last of it from me. Just frustrated that people quote him as be and end all when he is off the mark. People moan that he isn't here but if getting hopes up from a vague video post is a highlight then people need to discover the wonders of internet porn.

Don't worry, FIFA 13 is out soon for you to play

What a presumptuous cretin you are, stereotyping me like that!

Prove my post to be wrong or reply with a childish remark.

You complete and utter fool. Why the hell even come on a forum? Why discuss things when you cannot handle a sensible reply? Why the Fifa remark, btw I haven't got 12 let alone 13 and nor do I own FM. I do actually watch 20 hours of football a week and coach it but that matters not a jot. I am a Fifa 13 player who KFA because some twat said so.

So he's a cretin, childish and a twat?

Ever read the CoC?

I would say first.

Pity nobody bid that then eh. If I were as unhappy as you I'd send my season card back.

Mancini said we were offered it, not me.

I am not unhappy in the slightest with City, we are champions! Just very, very frustrated by lack of quality brought in to the fold.

Balotelli is a gem on his day but an illness on his off days. Consistency is key and Falcoa provides that. Yaya gets a knock and we turn to Milner?

I suppose I am an ungrateful swine for thinking logically?

Who do you bring in to sit on the bench awaiting Yaya's injury?

You mention national team as if that matters in the slightest.

What has johnson ever done for England? Failed to get in the shittest squad ever for the Euros. And De Jong isn't exactly ripping up trees for Holland.

De Jong finalled in the WC, you gonna call Robben/RVP/VDV/Sneijder all out too?

Johnson didn't go purely because he didn't feature enough for us.

So we need to be content with players sitting on benches? What type of professional is happy doing that? Bridge???

I mention the national team because that is where the elite are chosen. Results are a different kettle of fish but if you're the best you're placed amongst the best in s national team are you not?

Johnson is so poor that Liverpool, Sunderland and Everton all want him
De Jong is wanted by both Milans.

Who knocked the door down for Rodwell or Sinclair? I actually like both players but I don't class myself as happy that we bought them in at the end of the window like somebody said. Satisfied and happy are to very different things.

I wouldn't bench somebody waiting for Yaya, I'd accompany him with the player and then once he goes to ACON and/or is injured I'd field barry with him.

It seems to be 'a good, proper fan' you must see the glass half full and be satisfied with less than more. Nobody ever hit the top without reaching for it. I am awrae we need to boost squad strength which our players will do but we need proper out and out world class additions to our 11 in CB and CM. Lescott and Barry replacements. A striker in Falcoa would replace Dzeko/Balo (I'd sell both and wait on Guidetti for 4th striker).

Most people on here agreed that tweaking not marquee signings were required. Looks like we have that. This will put us in good stead for the next couple of windows re: FFP, should we really need top drawer reinforcements

I think tweaking the squad is fine if you keep the squad in tact.

Johnson / NDJ out - both played their parts last season

Rodwell / Sinclair in - direct replacements / same quality ? so squad pretty much the same.

tevez - like a new signing so attack strenghened
Natastic - possibly strenghening but pretty much unproven

Main issue is - Yaya or komps injured = big trouble - no real quality backups

This.

This is my point. Our squad imo is weakened by De Jong and Johnson going with new younger players coming in. That is a different point however. My main concern and whole argument is CB and CM.

Where will the signing of Wright leave Panty ??

I don't know what Mancini thinks but I know what I think. I reckon he's a decent replacent for Adam Johnson.

Do I have faith in Kaldoon, Mancini and the management structures of the club - yes.

Do I like the fact that Sinclair gets tons of stick off City fans before kicking a ball for us - no.

As for Savic, he could well have turned out good but didn't go well with him. Looks like Roberto is now happy for him to go and that's fine with me. The fact that you 'called' it before Mancini isn't relevant.

 

[Ducado]

Where will the signing of Wright leave Panty ??

Still at number 2 I presume Wright is replacing Stuart Taylor

 

[Danielmanc]

Wright will the 3rd choice I think

I am all for CoC but when treated fairly myself. I take back anything of offense but you throw at me and I throw back. Instead of bullshit one line posts I take my time and construct a proper post.

 

[Rammyblues]

I reckon 3rd choice Prem league squad with Johansen third choice CL squad (otherwise another player has to be excluded from CL squad).

Read the first line of the second paragraph that I wrote.

Yeah your right, just thought for a minute Panty was off, I think Panty is potentially a good keeper.

I would say first.

Fair enough, any reason why? I would disagree, purely compared to the type of player he has been after in the past.

Maybe Sinclair was the only replacement for Johnson but it was quite clear we went after Eden Hazard.

Mansour has given City good wallet full of money to spend this Summer, the job of distributing correctly over the correct players has been awful.

We need a first team central midfielder and center back. The rest would be on squad players. It only seems the squad players are the ones we are signing.

If we don't sign any first team midfielder and Yaya or Barry gets injured then we are screwed in my opinion. Nastasic seems to be a good option for a center back so it looks like we have covered that.

Because he already has Silca and Nasri as his preferred choice to play there and as such he wanted to replace AJ with someone with pace that would accept a squad based role.

I would say his first choice was to keep AJ but after some talks they decided he should move on. Now Mancini needs a winger and an English one at that to fill the quota. Sinclair has one year left and says he will be interested, job done
