Mancio needs to catch up. Guess the time to judge is at the end of next season after everyone has a year under their belts.
Hughes hurt us in the transfer market. Lescott at over 20 mill? Marwood runs scouting. Cook weighs in for business. The manager gets a significant voice, and gets to "insist" on certain players. Hughes insisted on RSC and Lescott at any price - those are Hughes signings. Zab wasn't a Hughes signing- that was about our scouts and much more about Marwood wanting to build in true squad players who fit a team concept. Much more like Scholes and Giggs at the other lot.

Marwood joined City in Feb 2009, six months after Zab joined.

I can tell you that Mark Hughes has been monitoring the Argentine full back for some time: I was sat alongside the Man City coach, and Mark Bowen, a while back - when Hughes was at Blackburn - and the pair were scouting the player in an Espanyol match against Atletico Madrid at Montjuic.
Zab was a Hughes signing mate. He watched him whilst at Blackburn. This is from Guillame Ballague.....
"Hughes was taking lots of notes throughout the game and asked me all sorts of questions about the player, wanting to know absolutely everything I knew about him. I know Hughes was particularly impressed with the quality of the 23 year old's forward runs, his strength and character out on the pitch."
Well the strength and character sounds right but the forward runs?
I love Zab. Committed, gets stuck in and plays like a fan would. Tough call though between him and Richards for the final. Hard to leave Zab out and I would play him instead of Kolarov at left back with Richards down the right.
