Scott Sinclair

[Marvin]

I don't know if I wear premanent blue tinted specs or a lot of folks on here know F all about football.

ALL IN ALL I can't believe all the negativity surrounding Scott Sinclair. This is a guy who is only 23 and costs peanuts in today's world. He scored 8 goals and 4 assists for a mid table EPL and hardly missed a minute through injury. Then, admittedly in the Championship in the previous season, he scored 25+ goals! Yet AJ is supposed to be better with 6 goals and 2 assists, many of which were scored against exposed teams playing catch up.

It seems for many on here that unless it's a Hazzard or a Cavani, the guy isn't good enough for City!

It's not always the biggest names that help contribute to success over what will be a very long season. Mancini clearly sees that Sinclair can improve this team and I am more than happy to go along with his judgement.

Not even half as good as AJ. You really under rate him. AJ's touch and quality on the ball. he can make a first time pass look easy when it's not. So much more than a winger. Sinclair is reasonably quick, and tricky but he's nothing special. Chelsea repeatedly loaned him out. He's nowhere near good enough. Would be the first backward step for years

Rubbish,we don't have a player like Sinclair,he will be very useful as a squad option.

Kolarov was the first to fit your profile

Kolarov is quality. best crosser of the ball in the Premiership with possible exception of Bale, but we don't use him to his strengths - bit like Dzeko.

Sinclair is a traicky winger, but this is a transfe we'd be looking to make 3 years ago. Not now. The only thing going for it is it's cheap. It's the fear that it signals the end of AJ that worries me.

You really are a miserable git Marvin. Whenever I come on here I inevitably see you moaning about something. We need new dimensions added to our squad. No need to upset the apple cart. Sinclair at the price quoted is a great signing and who is saying he is here to replace AJ? Pure speculation. Stop comparing them, your sounding like a spoilt child.

Maybe Johnson is staying? Who knows.

Sinclair has the pace that AJ lacks to be a true winger.

I've come to think of AJ as a fine attacking midfield super sub. His touch and vision are excellent really. And his runs in behind the opposition are often timed to perfection. He can be lethal in a 15-20 minute period if used as an extra attacker.

As a winger though he is very limited and he just doesn't do well when starting games.

We need an extra association player anyway so I'd keep AJ as an AM and sign Sinclair as our only true winger. Both would be subs.

Squad of 25:
Hart, Pantilemon, the Nordic kid
Zabba, Richards, Kolo, Agger, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Kolorov
Dejong, Biton, Barry
AJ, Sinclair, Yaya, Silva, Nasri, Milner, Omar
Tevez, Aguero, Ballotelli, Dzeko

Actually I think we ate stck for 2 Acadamy players now. Maybe only Agger can be bought...?

Sorry for going on ...

Dear god

Although Kolarov is not 'quality' he is definately one of the best crosses of a ball - no denying that - his assist for Yaya at QPR was quality

Well said,Phuket blue.someone talking sense

Yes...well said that man..

Looks like TH has been elevated to the legendary 'sky source' status....

Alot here may think Johnson is better than Sinclair but the man who sees him everyday and has regularly been frustrated by him doesn't think he is. Mancini publically talks about players to make them step up, quite frankly Johnson hasn't.

Scores the odd cracker but just isn't effective enough.

I think if we get Sinclair he will be a good signing.
