You can't seriously be suggesting that

1. People must know all about football to contribute to an MCFC message board &
2. Everyone should know everything about every player i thier domestic league?

People are here because they support City first, not to become a 'Footballing Egghead'

No I am not suggesting that, but I am suggesting that the 99% of football fans will know something about Kolo Toure.

I said earlyer in the thread that I don;t know a great deal.what I mean by that is[and I;m being honest]if they aren;t a striker,midfielder,or winger,then its harder to take note of what the players can stop,as oposed to "can do".If you know what i mean.I see Arsenal live a couple of times a year,yet City ALL home games and a few away,and England ALL games.So yes I know something about him not a great deal, but ,I know he played for a top side,he looks tall,he doesn;t play for England,he;s a defender,and now he plays for us.I;m not going to pretend I know his strengths.F@ck I don;t even know what foot he uses most,but I;ll tell you what he is like come December.People should have the right to be honest or the threads loose interest.Its like the first 3 posts say 2+2=5,the rest think shit it must be,then all 1000 pages say 2+2=5.

I found this from the Guardian in my attempt to find free opta stats:


"34 – Manchester City have used more players than any other team in the league this (2008/9) season."

now that is interesting....isn't it?

no.....he is an improvement on Dunne for certain so happy with that....but we need a centre half who can dominate opponenets in the air....Im not sure if this is toure (please correct me if Im wrong).....is lescott this player??????......ned is pretty good in the air as is richards but noone are dominant like terry, vidic, hypia (on his day)
 
i have just read this

sky sports website in the kolo and ade to city debate.

looks some arsenal fans are shitting themselves.......


Reading and watching some of Arsenal fans comments on sky sports are making me sick. The board have been telling us fans lies for years, that Mr. Wenger will always have cash to STRENGHTEN his squad, what they failed to mention to us is that it is only possible after 2 or 3 players leave and he has no other option but to purchase mediocre tallent. I have gathered a small group of TRUE Arsenal fans and we've decided to no longer purchase any Arsenal merchandise including new jerseys until we see that our loyalty to the club over the decades will be repayed properly. Either by accepting a takeover from S. Kronke or A. Usmanov or to release funds to Mr. Wenger to purchase high quality players that we now so desperately need. The club is going backwards at lightening speed and its only a matter of time before Mr. Wenger walks out on the club, bringing Fabregas, Van Persie, and all the rest of the top quality players with him. It's time for answers the lies have to stop.. WHO'S WITH US on this stance against the lies of the Arsenal board.


thought it was worth a post!!
