Scott Sinclair. WBA? Update page 25

Re: Scott Sinclair. WBA?

I think this will end up being a good move for him. I feel sorry for him.

When people tell me we've ruined James Milner's career I always disagree, but when people say we've ruined Sinclair's career I have to just nod my head. A poor signing.

He's only 24, hardly a ruined career just yet.

Say we don't get him off the books until he's 26. A life in the Championship beckons.

But we're willing to let him go out on loan to WBA, if he impresses he enhances his reputation, if he doesn't it's his fault really, not ours.

He's had one season on the bench, players spent entire seasons out injured and then carry on successfully with their career. We gave him an opportunity, he's obviously not been good enough to take advantage of it, now he'll move on. I can't see how we've ruined his career.

We haven't ruined his career but you can hardly say we 'gave him an opportunity'.

According to stats, he appeared 14 times last season and how many of them were over 10-15 mins long?

Re: Scott Sinclair. WBA?

I disagree with the above,Sinclair looked liked he belonged in the Prem when he was playing regularly,with confidence,at Swansea - a team more suited to his ability i might add.

You must remember though that one of these two seasons were in the Championship where his statistics were far more impressive than his season in the Premier League. But I agree, to be a big fish at a club like Swansea is more suitable to him than to be a small fish in a big pool like he is here.

The team, i hope, gets picked on merit. If you don't prove yourself in training you won't get picked for matches.

Oh I fully agree with you, but it's got to be hard for the lad with competitors such as Silva and Nasri to beat into the team?

At somewhere like City, it will always be hard for him to get in.

I just don't fully agree with him being given an opportunity?

May I be rude enough to say that if either of our winger targets of the past two summers, ie Hazard or Sanchez, been recruited, then there would have been no such argument regarding game time. Either player would have been selected for more games than were missed. This is for the obvious reason that these two players were of a quality that wasn't met by Sinclair.

Re: Scott Sinclair. WBA?

I know this has been asked before, and there may not be an answer, but who bought him? No way it was Mancini as he clearly didnt rate him from day 1.

With a team like we have been for the last 3 seasons, the word opportunity means that you have to shine even if you are a bit part player and get 10-25 minutes in a game.

Lopes did it as a youngster in his chance v. Watford & - despite questionable form - it could even be argued that Dzeko did it (even if he was better subbing than starting in the main).

Sinclair got perhaps his biggest opportunity v. Dortmund away in the CL, when they pretty much played their second team, and stunk out the place by never taking on the full-back, never crossing, not having a trick and revealing himself to be a(n even) poor(er) man's Theo Walcott.

I think from that moment on his goose was pretty much cooked.

And his haircut bugs me. :)

Think I too had 7/1 so thanks for that, let's hope it goes through!

And please don't be shy about sharing in future!

Mancini has said he wanted him & fully admitted it is totally his fault Sinclair didn't play, not down to anything the player has done wrong in training.

Well thats that then, haha. I wonder if he was just terrible in training and Mancini didnt want to risk him. He had no problem giving Johnno quite a few minutes.

We will never know the truth until either Mancini, Marwood or Sinclair writes a biography.

Good luck, Scott. You were nowhere near being good enough for us.

Scott Sinclair – Manchester City winger

Newcastle are said to be readying a £5M bid for the skilled Englishman, and that may be enough to convince City to sell, although West Brom are also said to be after the 24 year-old.

But Newcastle could be in the driver’s seat, since West Brom are only offering a loan deal, and Manchester City and the player himself want a permanent move.

If this news is true, then Newcastle could well be successful, and we think Scott would be a good acquisition for Newcastle, although it would probably mean the club would give up on 21 year-old winger Tom Ince of Blackpool.

One advantage Sinclair has over Ince, in addition to being cheaper, is that he’s proved he can play well in the Premier League.

Sinclair played 40 times with 8 goals for Swansea the season before last, after helping the Welsh club to promotion the previous season with 27 goals in 50 appearances in the Championship.

Scott started his career at Bristol Rovers as 9 nine year-old, and then moved to Chelsea in 2005, and he went on loan to a number of clubs before finally leaving the London club for a move to Swansea in August three years ago for £1M.

We think Scott would be a decent buy for Newcastle at £5M, although Manchester City are asking £6M, but it’s a very decent bid by the Tyneside club, and an agreement on the fee should be able to be worked out.

Southampton are another Premier League club who are rumored to be interested in the England U21 International.

May be true but kind of a shit thing to say about a guy who never caused trouble and showed up everyday to do the best he could.

Re: Scott Sinclair. WBA?

This guy is a bottom ten premier league player. I tempted to say he's shite but maybe he just looks like he thinks he is shit hot. Cant blame him for coming but I'll never understand why we spent money on him.

Re: Scott Sinclair. WBA?

Got nothing bad to say about him, myself. Never said a word about being bought with the manager seemingly having no intention of playing him.
