Noon friday always seems to be the general concensus for signings. Not that he will play anyway. Bobby Manc will say "He izzzza not ready. He train only for 1 day with ze other playerzzzz. It iz important Samir must train before he playz football. This is important. This is football."

That's exactly what he will say. Word for word.

He missed the "only zis'e"

Yep. Other than that. Perfect. No bullshit, I actually envisioned Mancini reciting this word for word. His voice is still resonating. :D Too great.

Worst thing all last year was watching when we got bossed. That was awful, feeling relief at a goalless draw after getting torn a new one, or worse a collapse like Everton away or Wembley.

I really do agree with playing Nasri instead of Barry. Barry is good against certain types of teams but struggles mightily to make an impact against pacey, aggressive teams.

That's myth. Barry adds a lot to our team that people fail to recognize because, 1. he isn't flashy and 2. he isn't a star.

He cuts up a lot of play and physically bullies some opponents. Yep, he gets skinned but we always notice and point the finger when it's him. Kompany's gotten skinned worse than Barry a couple times last season.

Barry is one of most consistent players. Always composed, and if you understand what he brings to the team, you notice that he always produces. Here's an example, he makes a tackle or interception, and passes it to Silva who does the rest. Most of us are English and we would rather see a crossfield pass, etc, but yes, that little sideways pass to Silva could be the difference in a match. When he does put in a good pass, it goes unnoticed..Why? cause it's Barry. Let's not forget that Barry's made more tackles, blocks, and scored more goals than De Jong. The same goes for Barry-Yaya except in the goals category, I believe.

That said, do I think Nasri would be better than Barry. Absolutely, but I really think Barry deserves more credit.

Rubbish. Barry is out of his depth at this level, plain and simple. You said it yourself - 'Yep, he gets skinned' . Frankly, as a holding m/f player that's a bit of a damning statement! Bit like saying a centre forward can't score goals but look at his throw ins.................
Best way of looking at it objectively, is to ask how many other top six sides in Prem OR top 10 in Europe would have him in their starting x11? Answer= none. And that's the level we're now aspiring to be at.
He's slow in thought and deed, abysmal 1st touch and isnt that good at tackling either - simply because he was designed originally to be an attacking m/f player. Yaya is exasperated with him every game. He looks to get rid of the ball immediately sideways/backwards and will even abdicate responsibility to bloody Lescott (who is also not good enough).
These two are our team's weak links and will cost us in big games to come.

Re: bridgewater

why do these thickos as we call them here keep saying twitter this twitter that.

people on twitter know nothing.

they make bullshit up to try and gain more followers.

cut the shit quoting twitter.

I suggest that we also burn all existing books and ban the publication of any more books ever again. You only need to read one book to know that all books are bad.

What a pathetic response.

No it wasn't. Twitter can be a treasure trove of info if you follow the right people (ie it ain't all bad).

Now yours is a pathetic post though which is ironic.

Hardly, given Twitters credibility as an accurate news source.

Well it's about to earn me 330 quid old man.

It depends, as I keep saying, on WHO YOU FUCKING FOLLOW. Look, if you don't know how it works then just shh and stop commenting on things you don't understand.
