Not one Brazilian in the Squad

[Mothball]

Are they all injured or is Hughes being an arse

 

[Ducado]

It's gossip

 

[Mothball]

Surely Elano should be at least on the bench FFS

Rob injured Elano hughes does not like Jo is shit

 

[Halfpenny]

1255: Some early Manchester City teams news: Brazilian trio Robinho, Jo and Elano are all missing from the squad. Robinho has an ankle injury, Jo has a virus, not sure what's up with Elano...

 

[Bluemoon115]

Hardly a Brazillian conspiracy when two of them are injured.

Jo is sh*t? Stop being silly

 

[Mothball]

Yeah and fkn Benjani and Vassell are world beaters aren't they.Also Ball playing and Garrido benched.Does this man know what he is doing.Does he fk

 

[The Blue Order]

It's nothing to do with Hughes being an arse,

Jo aint up to it, Robinho is totally ineffective away from home & Elano thinks he is better than he is - although I do agree he should be on the bench - if fit.

We need a strong & disciplined team today as if anyone goes missing, we will struggle

All 5 of them need to go in Jan

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Must be something wrong if Elano is not even in the squad, although I'd rather that than have him in the starting line up away from home at west brom

 

[Mothball]

Elano got the flu apparently.FFS they just don't want to play for Hughes do they.More Viruses than you can shake a fkn stick at

Think its pretty obvious that Hughes wants workers-hence Vas and Benji rather than flair that he cannot manage and doesnt trust.

2 defensive mids against WBA and they were still all over us in the first half

He will have to accommodate flair because you don't just beat top teams with mettle and hard work. Flair is a luxury poor teams can't afford (the Blackburn team he left had little and the Welsh side he had, had little) but flair is what marks out the great teams - Brazil, the old Real Madrid, the Dutch teams of the seventies. ) If he can't handle flair his future is limited.
