The one I've seen had half a good season when he wasn't injured, then fucked off to Milan where he can't get a game.
He's an ok player but not the answer to all our problems. If he was that good I think MIlan would be keeping him.
Maybe they can't judge a player, after all, this is a club that thinks Beckham is still any good.

People are jumping the gun by thinking this means Mancini is on a short term contract.
Getting in loan signings till summer is much more likely to mean that we are going for Champions League football next season and once we've secured it we can then attract some seriously big names. At the moment world class stars won't come to us and risk playing in the Europa League next season. To get into the Champions League we need experienced back up - people who've been there and finished top 4 while holding down an FA Cup run at the same time.
Also, it's no secret that Barry needs a hernia operation and he'd rather have it now so he'll be fit for the World Cup. Yes, we pay his wages, but every player wants to be in SA this summer and we'd be arseholes if we made him play through the season and deny him his chance.
We are a club going through enormous changes in a very short space of time. In three seasons we've gone from relegation certs to challenging for top 6 to breaking the top 4. This is why we have the likes of Benjani still in our squad. Loan signings are the perfect way to bridge the gap between this season and next season's Champions League team.

i personally am waiting to see the proof in the pudding with mancini, the first serious test and we were garbage, like i say the cost of football is immense, and i like to see fast flowing entertaining football, and not a win at all costs mentality, only my view, and hopefully mancini will provide a more pleasing on the eye team in time.
I don't know what your gripe is mate, we never saw anything like that under Leslie anyway, the last time we played consistent "fast flowing entertain football" was under Sven.
not true, at times we were fantastic under hughes, as we will under bobby, our players are too good for anything else.

Beckham is keeping him out of the team.

He was brilliant for a few games, apart from that he flattered to decieve and couldn't secure a place in the team.
Don't believe the hype.

he'd be a good signing, the way our players are dropping like flies we need numbers in, can't do any harm and this lad can play.

They said Robinho was an awesome player (prior to coming here) ....
Let's do the judging when he plays for us.

Im sure people on here think we should be signing the top ten players in the world.
Flamini is a good player, we have a depleated squad and need some short term measures.
Just cos its not £40m on David Villa doesnt make it a bad signing.
