Manchester City close on Pellegrini (merged)

[bluetrue]

Is it really ludicrous to point out that if we win on Saturday, our Manager, Roberto Mancini will have delivered 25% of the top flight Silverware in our clubs' entire history?

It's only ludicrous because those facts stick in your craw FI, and they are not 'facts' you can explain away just because you don't like the man.

Yes, because he probably accounts for about 99.7% of our total ever transfer spend!

Don't be silly or at least attempt to prove what you say.

I was only joking with the figures. The point I'm making is that he has arrived at a time after vast investment. So to suggest he's won 25% of our silverware, whilst correct, paints an inaccurate picture.

You get booked easily in Spain. That's it. It's a fallacy that referees in Spain and Italy are whistle-happy with regards to fouls. Or, that they are more so than English referees anyway.

Do you think pellegrini would win as much in the same amount of time?

Cant argue, they are facts, ludicrously applied but facts none the less.

Forza.........

Nope. Lesley in his term in charge had a net spend of £201m, in his time at the club, Mancini has a net spend of...............£178m.

Try again.

.Good question but It's not even do you think ? Are you certain that he can win more than Mancini, because unless you are you don't take that risk . At least not in the the real world with another mans fortune, It's easy to spout off on the web when there are no consequences for you personally

No, no ,no, thats in Spain where any contact is deemed a foul, over here you don't get that protection, i'm not saying they can't handle elements of it but it's telling that he's thrown a 19 year old centre half in but won't play any of the ones you mention, and anyway who do you want him to leave out for them, Silva, Tevez or god forbid Aguero... ffs if he left any of them out and we lost he wouldn't be sacked by some on here he'd be lynched!!!

It's all about difference in opinions , i will appreciate if Mancini gives 25-30 minutes to any eds player in upcoming matches , even if we lose the match due to that particular player, except his son.

... or any other player you've chosen on a whim to dislike that day. I've seen this song and dance before.

And when you think that the lions share of Hughes investment was wasted on the likes of Adebayor, Santa Cruz, Bridge and paid way over the odds for the likes of Lescott (even though I like him) it makes Mancini's achievement all the more remarkable.

Of course , players that deserve the chance : Suarez , Razak , Lopes , Pozo , Guidetti (if fit ) , Ntcham , Vlad Marin ( heard he was on his way to Lazio first team) , Jordi Hiwula ( another one whose progress has been installed) .

Anyway , enlighten me with your wisdom , the chances Mancini has given to " any other player " , except for the usual 4-5 minutes of additional time.

And cost £12m plus Savic. Hardly going to put him in the EDS.
