Jo's future...

[Damocles]

agreed

Are you 5? Obviously don't remember Bob Taylor, Creany etc.

Taylor was never shit. Creaney was better for his level than Jo.

Your naming unfashionable players, not shit ones.

The buzz around NYC during the friendlies, etc. was that Mancini was playing Jo to attract a buyer. Seems plausible to me.

Or he is genuinely assessing his capabilities whether he has a slot in the squad. Quite frankly, Ireland has more than JO and it does seem that he has this policy of giving everyone a chance.

I am surprised Guiditti hasn't played at all.

You may be right. I don't mind giving Jo a shot I just don't think he will be any revelation or decent squad player. Guidetti played against Sporting on Friday.

Short memories.

Jo got shafted by City, not the other way round.

He's not a center forward, he's never been a center forward, he's never claimed to ba center forward.He's a second striker, he thrives alongside a player like Adebayor or Balotelli. That's how he did so well in Russia, playing alongside Wagner Love.

We buy him as 20 year old, then the neanderthal Premier League coaching mentality says, ooh er, he's a big lad, he's striker, he's young too so can probably run around a bit.

Let's play him at the pointy end of a 4-5-1 in a position he's never played, in a league he's never played in, with team mates he doesn't know in a foreign country he's not familiar with.

And then, since strikers thrive on confidence, let's wait 3 games and if he hasn't scored seven by then and isn't playing better than Torres lets slate him in every forum and boo him whenever we get a chance until his confidence improves. Young players just thrive on that.

Fair play to Bobby Manc for playing him in his correct position and giving him some time to show what he can do.

And who on here has ever even seen Ballotelli play 90 minutes? And yet he is already being touted as the second coming, at least for those first three games eh?

Jo has a bit fat zero of a chance of getting in the 25, that with drop into the minus if mario signs

he's only playing because RSC and Tevez arent there

theres only one route for Jo and thats the door, he's had his chance and blew it

Mario is 19 (you can have as many under 21's as you want)

yes i know

if we sign mario, why would we then fill a squad spot with a player who wont play

so Jo would step even further down as i said

I've seen him playing plenty of times! and as i have said previoulsy.
He will be the best player in the world! i never seen such a talent except from ronaldo and Messi. He is world class at age 19 in the top ten strikes in the world already. one of the most complete player i ever seen on a pitch.

I dont think ppl realize what we have here! or the awesome talent. if he had less "problems" off the pitch he would have been worth more than 45-50 MILLION, thats the kind of talent we are talking about here!..

Lots of good points there. Top post. Cheese



But I still think Jo is shit ;)
