Mancini

[I'm no cynic but...]

so nasri thinks wenger is his best coach and he doesn't agree that he only trains at 50%.Big deal.Paper sensationalize his words.Big deal.I bet mancini can't sleep at night (something some of you would like to believe)

If Nasri thinks Wenger is a better coach than Mancini, he should look at the number of medals that he won whilst featuring for the gooners. Platitudes are fine, but in Nasri's older days to come, his grandchildren are going to ask him what he won in his career, and Arsenal will be nowhere in his response.

So I ask again. You are the owner you have the cash. Which set of players would you aim to sign for your club?

And yes you can call me Gary

Question for you ... you think the owners are going to want a manager who demands a player, then once signed says "he's not got the right mentality - sell him" - or one who demands a player, then if the mentality isn't right, works with him to get the best out of him ?

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

If Mancini had a problem with the effort Nasri puts in he should have dealt with it in house rather than tell the papers. Just my opinion.

Maybe he would if these same players didn't speak to the media first!

Has Mancini said this?

In regards nurturing that you referred to earlier, has Mancini not nurtured Micah?

Ill be happy to see the back of nasri in summer he's done ok for us but he's not a top player because he's not consistent enough. Billy and dave cling to every scrap of anti Mancini propaganda as usual

I thought Nasri was responding to Mancini's comments or have I missed something here?

It's only propaganda if you fail to see through it for what it is mate.

Sure you can cut your losses. But, and lets for arguments sake put Dzeko in the same box as Balo and Nasri. Then you have three players the manager insisted on signing at great cost to the owners. Kowalski's point was that the owners would prefer mentally tough players who are self motivated. None of those three are and all three were signed by Mancini. Now because Mancini can't get the best out of them due in no small part to his one size fits all approach to management, the owners should sell up.

So the question then becomes, how many players can he sign and discard before he becomes part of the problem rather than part of the solution?

Buy a player. Isn't the fit you thought it would be. Sell him.

Whats the problem?

Taggart bought Berbatov. Berbs couldn't handle the environment. Got ignored in his last season and didn't even make the bench for the CL final. Then got sold with a few digs at Taggart on the way out.

Why didn't it work? Had the talent but not the character.

It happens. Nani is going the same way. Anderson is still there and still not making it. Character. Sell early on on waste a few years instilling a character that is not there. Take your pick.

Players Mancini has bought that were sold

Boateng
AJ
Mario

Any I have missed? Hardly a massive turnover and monies largely recouped. Seen worse buying and selling records.
