Scott Sinclair (continued)

[Return of the Mac]

1.5m i think ? Plus Chelsea get a 500k wedge from Swansea for selling on i believe.

 

[lust overlord]

Sinclair cost Swansea 1.5m plus a cut of future sell on.

 

[kunaguero10]

heres something to consider for those who are dubious:

would your attitude towards sinclair be different if he cost £20m (perhaps with more than 1 year left on his contract)

 

[johnmc]

Cracks me up when people say stuff like this, as though the average man is supposed to have a knowledge of players up there with what City pay millions every year and employ full time scouts to do

Yet you don't trust these same scouts if we buy a player you don't like - laughable really. Or are you not the average man?

 

[SilvaLining]

Because we need someone like him but are cutting back way too much and settling for cheaper and far more inferior options is my guess

Can I ask who you would sign - bare in mind he has to be English and a winger. Also, he has to fit in with Mancini work ethic hence the selling of AJ, oh and also he has to be prepared to be a squad player as really he is looking at 10/15 starts and 10/15 sub appearances, and he has to have pace as thats what we lack.

So go on - who should we have bought?

I'm presuming as an average man yourself like the rest of us, your opinion of sinclair being shite has as much validity as the opinion of those who believe he is a decent signing; the same people you are ripping into?

 

[oakiecokie]

I blame all those football computer games. You know the ones, where you can just buy any player you want irrespective. I think as a result peoples vision of whats reality in club football transfers is diminished. Mainly a kids genre of game if i recall as well?

For not wanting us to sign shit players? Why?

Why not give the lad the benefit of the doubt ! How many BMs slagged us off for "wasting" money on a shit left back from Arsenal.
Ring a bell ??

I hate it when people say were moving backwards cos were getting people who arent 'workd class' mancini obviously sees something in sinclair and maicon

He saw something in Savic too.

Not every player will work out in the premier league, At least Sinclair is EPL proven,

And Mancini's record aint bad with a success rate of signings, Is it just savic and Boateng that have failed to settle well?

 

[Danielmanc]

Because I've seen him play

It's funny that I've watched every city game last 20 years and I haven't seen Scott Sinclair play for city

Ok. From now on no one in the transfer forum is allowed to comment on potential signings because we've never seen them play for City. Luke chadwick? Might be good cos no one's ever seen him play for city. Danny shittu? Might be good cos no one's ever seen him play for city etc

But your 'comments' add nothing to a discussion. Your stock comment "He's shit" takes a discussion nowhere and is banal.

 

[bapi]

Nastasic, Sinclair and Maicon in one day? Nice.

 

[Anonymous]

nice to see us not paying stupid prices

 

[mike channon´s windmill]

Maybe all available for Sat

Now we turn to the NDJ/ new DM situation

 

[adrianr]

Maybe all available for Sat

Now we turn to the NDJ/ new DM situation

I think that's Rodwell to be honest mate. Sinclair, Maicon and Nastasic, plus Rodwell. I highly doubt we'll be dipping in again now.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Sinclair pref to Walcott imo.

CORRECT.

 

[Ducado]

He's got strength, skill, intelligence & experience. And he was cheap & Mancini wanted him.

Why are people moaning ?

Some people are like that, they get fixated on an idea and won't let it go, they will now be looking for evidence that they were right all along, in their eyes the player has not got a chance, I happen to think that most City fans will welcome the player, even though he is not some mega signing, he has something we are missing and that is pace

Haha I was supposed to be posting that in the Maicon thread & copied it to there & deleted it from here, but you've quoted me !

I meant Maicon though! Although I'm happy also with Sinclair who imo is a more intelligent player than Walcott & more coachable. Pace & a few goals like Walcott but a better fit into our team imo.

Does this now mean that signing Sinclaire the mighty bazoomas of Rosie Webster will be putting in an appearance at the Etihad.
Only asking cause my mate swears by her acting skills absoloutly nothing to do with the twin peaks
