Rammy Blue said:Not really true though seeing as we stuck ,imo, an unrealistic price on Carlos' head, no-one was going to pay 40mil for him and then his wages on top.
We'll never know how far negotiations got with various clubs during the summer but I'll bet that if we had been willing to value him at 25/30mil when negotiating with potential suitors (straight deal or player swap) then I'm sure a deal would have got done.

I'd love to know who these mythical "you only post when things go wrong" posters are. From what I can see, most of Mancini's fiercest critics still post on a daily basis. I'm probably the only one who doesn't, and that's just because I haven't had the inclination to as I've been too busy enjoying what a fucking spectacular team we have and the fucking spectacular football we play. Thanks of course to our brilliant manager. Who I was completely wrong about and who has shown himself to be not only a brilliant coach, but a fucking classy bastard as well.
Now you see, it's not me that struggles with humility.

Mancini , an ex medal winning pro and cup winning manager asks a player to " warm up " the player refuses , tell us how he should react.
I am not a Tevez apologist and I have had enough of the whole saga but Mancini over reacted at the time.

You don't actually believe that do you, Billy? Yourself, soulboy, jim_tolmies_underpants, DD and Didsbury .(plus many others) are rarely to be seen these days and when they are it's either in a thread that might have a slight slant on Mancini or talking about kits/away days. To be fair to Didsbury he does post even if it's not actually about the football that's being played at the moment.
Loved the second half of your message though, and it's nice to see Dortmund are still going well ;)
BillyShears said:You ever considered that people might have things going on in their lives that prevent them from posting?
Unbelievable that you have the temerity to accuse fellow Blues of stopping posting on the forum BECAUSE we're doing well!

Perhaps Mancini didn't answer his phone because he thought Tevez was going to apologise! ;-)bluelol said:moomba said:Excellent, I'm not going to work tomorrow.
I'll try and get in touch with the boss, but if he doesn't answer his work phone tonight I'll just take the day off tomorrow anyway.
This sums it up in a nut shell!!
Soulboy said:Just to defend myself Jay... I rarely post on here these days because I have many other priorities at the moment. I occasionally have a gander, as I am doing now, but it's a bit harsh to lump me in with Mancini's critics when I have never once called for his head, never once suggested we should bring in the Special One, and routinely used to have fall-outs with DD defending Mancini!
I am not guilty by association!
My criticisms of Mancini were only ever the level of criticism I might have of Joe Hart... can always improve, but wouldn't think of replacing him.
Oh well, that's me done for another few months.
Keep my place warm mate!
