So he's a good player, did well in training butr didn't deserve a chance when we were playing shit
Roberto Mancini: It's my fault Scott Sinclair flopped
BOSS says winger, who started just two games should leave as Man City face his former side Swansea
When asked if that might mean Sinclair deserves to play somewhere else, Mancini said: “Scott is young and he has good quality but this year was difficult for him.
“I think it is better if he can have another solution.
“If he stays here, maybe, everything can change but I can understand his frustration in this moment because he didn’t play a lot of games.
“For me, he is a good player. We have one team. For him, it was difficult.
“I repeat — he did everything well, he worked well, he is a good guy, he deserves to play.
“I can understand when one player can’t play often it is difficult.”
Sinclair’s potential exit could be part of a busy summer at Eastlands as Mancini reshapes his squad following the loss of the Premier League title to Manchester United.
The club have this week been linked with Shakhtar Donetsk’s £20million-rated Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho.
Mancini was unwilling to discuss that rumour much and expects this summer’s transfer market to be competitive.
He added: “We can talk about Fernandinho. Fernandinho is a good player but he plays for Shakhtar.
“I don’t think there are a lot of good players available around the world.
“There are also four or five top teams who want to buy good players. It could be difficult.”
