Right man, in the right place, at the right time. Good to see him and Micah together and good to see how fondly Mancini looks back on his time at City.
I remember fondly how much you loved him at the time!Right man, in the right place, at the right time. Good to see him and Micah together and good to see how fondly Mancini looks back on his time at City.
That's true. The following season, Hughes bought De Jong and Barry that mean Vinnie become 3th choice DM sitting in the bench waiting for his chance. Mancini took Vinnie to CB. To my surprise Vinni boss that game defending anything come to our own box, OMG what a strong solid performance and the rest is history.Hughes used Vinnie as a DM and I don't think he was even a guaranteed starter.
Mancini came in and pretty quickly decided he was in the team at CB in place of Kolo.
Kompany used as CB on his debut after an injury and away to Schalke under Hughes. After we signed Barry he did not play due to his toe injury and came back away at Bolton in December which was clearly a bit too soon.That's true.

Mancini is the right man at the right time. Ex City player say he is rude to players. At that time we were small club and some big players thought they are bigger than the club. Thank goodness, we have Mancini.
Pep is the king of offense styles. Mancini is the king of defending styles, his zonal marking is the best of the kind.
Always love him, forza Mancini
