Also if I were Mancini I would make a bid for Jagielka in the January window.
If Kompany gets injured for a long period of time we can kiss the Premierleague title goodbye as we have no quality back up (Savic still learning, Toure looks like he's leaving)
A quality C/B is what we need and buying Jagielka would rubber stamp the title imo.
My comment wasn't a wind up attempt, by no means. I just don't rate Dawson as a a top drawer CB. Positionally he can be very iffy at times and he isn't overly quick. Look at Aguero's goal against you; from a starting position behind Dawson (obviously, otherwise he'd have been offside) Kun just eased past Dawson and, well, you know the rest. King is by far a better CB, way ahead of Dawson. Even Woodgate was a better defender, only that he couldn't stay fit. As for your comment re. me being an England supporter; well, sort of I suppose. Despite me living in ragdom over here I was born in Manchester so I would like to see England do well, although they won't win fuck all with that current clown in charge.spurspinter1 said:jimharri said:You didn't mind coming on here to have a little dig at Joleon though, did you?spurspinter1 said:As I said to the other guy, we're discussing Lescott.

at times he does seem a bit uneasy on the ball at times
If you don't like it, tough. You're on a Man City forum. When you come on here finding fault with one of our players I'll answer back in kind. If you think that's harsh , may I suggest you go back to ''Glory Glory'' or what ever that insipid forum is called. Oh, and by the way; you only need to say ''at times'' once in that sentence.
At times I may over-use the saying at times.
As an Englishman is he not essentially one of my players as well? Although I guess the same argument could go for you with Dawson (assuming you are an England supporter of course). My comment is a genuine criticism and your comment was a wind up attempt.

During this calendar year it would be a close call between Joleon and Micah as to who our most improved player is.spurspinter1 said:He had a good performance for sure, but at times he does seem a bit uneasy on the ball at times.

I'm a big Lescott fan. He's been the best defender in the Premier League after a whole quarter of the 2011-12 season. Now he wants to take over the international scene too. Get in there Joleon fella!LoveCity said:"Not good enough for where we're going!"
"Too slow against a top class attack"
"BUY HUMMELS!!!! HE'S GOT BETTER STATS ON FOOTBALL MANAGER!"
Just marshalled the England defence and blocked out Spain completely. Hats off to Joles, easy MotM despite Lahndahn boy Parker predictably getting it.

It would also wind up a golum-like tw@t no end, which would be good for its entertainment value alone.
