Petrov to leave?

Lets b honest, they`re both lazy buggers, that make bridge look shit !

At least Robinho scored 14 goals last season and that was when he took a brazilian xmas (didn`t do FA in december to
march) a la elano the year b4 !

As for petrov I can only remember game where he was really outstanding against blackburn, a couple of years ago,
if he played like that everyweek, he would play ! A good goal last week but I didn`t c any of these crosses, everyone keeps
talking about ?

I think you make a lot of good points there mate, they are both lazy and if you're going to pick one over the other then it's Robinho every time. I like Petrov and when he's racing down the byline on the counter it's great to watch. But, his crossing isn't the best, what he does is play the percentages, he whips in low, fast crosses that could go anywhere and are dangerous for defences to play against. The key things is they can go anywhere, some are awful, some are great. The bad points with Petrov are that he doesn't track back, ducks out of tackles and is painfully one sided. To have his pace, and power (shooting wise) coming off the bench is an asset but its not a major set back if he does leave, providing we do get another left sided player in.
 
Granted it was only a snapshot of things but against Celtic on Saturday when the final whistle went he was expecting a return ball off Adebayor which could have sent him down the line, The final whistle went, he shouted at Adebayor, spat his dummy out and walked straight down the tunnel. ( I know this as I was sat on row 3 of Colin bell with the kids).

IMO he is not as good as we need, he has suffered a serious injury (the 2nd in just over 2 years as he had one before he joined us), has lost a little pace and doesnt backtrack (even Robinho is doign more of that !).

I would be happy to keep him as a squad player but have the feeling he wont be happy with that so if we can get a replacement then I would look at that
 
Great player will be sad to see him go, but no time for sentiment he can be replaced. Can't see him and Robbie starting together and in world cup year especialy, he will want starts.
 
I should have also said IMO Garrido could operate at left wing back position so don't need to replace immediately.

We are mad if we let this guy go, he shown more potential on the left wing pre season than robinho shown all last year. Take the Celtic game, time and time again Robbi muscled out of it, it was like deja vu last season. Petrov is an orthodox left winger, gives the left side balance, i will start questioning Hughes football foresight if this happens.

I still think we'll go for the left winger at fc Twente Ellia.

I'll rage if Petrov leaves.

Unless we get a top quality winger in to replace him, but I'd still rather he stayed.

where did I suggest Petrov should play over Robinho? It's a squad game. And there are systems we might want to try that could accomodate both.

Well with these latest comments he's made, yeah it doesn't look like he'll be happy as a squad player unfortunately. The problem is where do we go from there because other quality wingers like Arjen Robben wwill not be happy unless they are first choice either, leaving us to go in for players like David Bentley who certainly wouldn't be an improvement on Petrov.

As good as Robinho is we do need more wide options/cover at this club, Petrov is arguably the best crosser of the ball we've got.

I agree there wiv robben,i think he tracks back better than robhino,so we could use him away from home,and robhino home games,i think they would be quite happey with that,id deffo go for robben.

But deffo need a cb and fuckin quick aswell,as much as i like dunnie his time is up imo
 
Petrov when on song is one of the best left wingers in the Prem but unfortunately for him he finds himself fighting against the best left winger/forward in the Prem for one position. He could get a good contract and regular football at a team like Spurs so good luck to him. For us to get £5 or £6 million for an aging player who has a record of bad injuries and would be nothing more than a squad player is also decent business on our part!

We have spent years moaning about Danny Mills being happy to rot in the reserves and collect his wages so we cant really complain about a guy who is coming to the twilight years of his career wanting to get regular 1st team football! In fact its refreshing in this day and age that a footballer thinks about actually playing football rather than just his wallet!
 
Still got it despite his injury.

Was our most consitent player under Sven,and by far the best left winger I've seen at City in my lifetime.Great crosser,good pace and can finish.Gives us a great plan b.

But for Gods sake if he has to go-anywhere but to those arrogant London gobshites spuds!!!
