Scott Sinclair

Nowhere near our level. Much rather have Johnson .

Not AJ's biggest fan but definitely this. Johnson has far more quality, just needs to show it a bit more regularly.

Mirror reporting that this is pretty much done

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is making a shock £8 million swoop for Swansea City's Team GB winger Scott Sinclair.

Mancini agreed to pay the price for the former Chelsea prospect yesterday and the player and his agent travelled to the Premier League champions to sort out terms and seal the deal.

Sinclair wants to join one of the top clubs after an impressive campaign at Swansea and the Welsh club are being forced to sell as his deal has just over ten months to run.

Mancini has been looking for a speedy wide man and is going for Sinclair after looking at Argentinian Matias Rodriguez and even Caen's young flier M'Baye Niang.

The City chief wants the option of a quick, attacking wide man to give his side a new dimension. He also needs an extra option as he goes for Champions League glory.

Sinclair has also been linked with a reunion with Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool and he may yet try to intercept the deal, but may be wasting his time.

City are confident they can pull off the coup and Swansea want the deal done quickly to let them get on with finding a replacement.

Swans supremo Huw Jenkins has a move teed up for Bristol City wide man Albert Admoah and would throw £2 million - and Scottish attacker Stephen Dobbie - into the deal.

Sinclair knows the north west well from a year on loan at Wigan and he is also dating Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan.

Adam Johnson is a much, much better player than Sinclair. Underwhelmed isn't the word if we sign this fella.
He couldn't make the grade at Chelsea, has spent virtually his whole career in the Championship and it seems that nobody else in the top half of the table was remotely interested in signing him, even for £8m

he's English though!

Moses for the same money would have been superior,however,i do rate Sinclair,he's hungry,ambitious and very useful.

Maybe this is key to getting Agger. If so we swap one English sub for another but gain a top CB which allows us to employ wingbacks that remove the need for wingers anyway. ????

Mancini disagrees with you.
