Sinclair and Rodwell may have played in the prem, but are now playing with greater expectation and a totally different game plan and mentality which will take time to get used to. Garcia, Nasty and Maicon haven't even played in the prem and will require a few at least 6 month to settle in like most of our other signings, which many seem to forget about.
I'm not saying all will be great successes, but to judge them now is very unfair and extremely harsh. But Bluemoon loves to have its scapegoats.
Bring this thread back in a year and then the judgement of new players may be a little fairer.
You're missing the point slightly mate, they are not being "slated".
We'd have been far better off spunking the 50mil on 2 class additions like Hazard and Thiago Silva, for example, who would have been additions that would have improved the first 11 rather than the squad.
He hasn't missed the point really has he. This is typical bluemoon people passing judgement on players they have hardly seen and snidely digs at the club.
I bet if you look back over, there will be the same threads about Yaya Nasri silva et al
Nail on head- Some of the people on Bluemoon have more coaching badges then Roberto, Kiddo and Platt put together. Everyone is aloud an opininion but ffs.
Rammy Blue said:3 injured - Garcia, Rodwell and Maicon.
1 not in squad - Nastasic.
1 on bench and didn't get on - Sinclair.
Strange that we've spent circa 50mil on these guys and they haven't contributed very much in the first couple of months of the season, I'd say that Garcia's goal against Stoke was the only memorable and valuable moment.
Precisely what i was saying when we bought them - who wouldnt swap them all for BALE +25M??
Buying them is a retrograde step - none are top four quality and none have the potential to be CL winners either....................

It's a long season, they'll get plenty of games, especially in the Europa league, which I think were heading for.

It didn't happen let it go. Bale is not worth 75 mill

'ALOUD'? 'OPININION'? 'SNIDELY'? Either you were drunk or are just plain thick. Either way, your point is largely lost, except the one that says "everyone is entitled to an opinion".
The original point you attacked, was well made - it would have been better to have spent the 50m on one or two proper top four footballers capable of mounting a serious attempt on the CL - especially with Lescott being so predictably poor.<br /><br />-- Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:11 am --<br /><br />

Nope - he is worth every penny of 75m. Best winger in world football - period. And will be for many years to come.
Trite comments like 'let it go' etc are infuriating. We all want the same thing - City to be CL Champions. Bale would have made that more possible, and the players we blew 50m on will not.
How do you know that Nastasic, Garcia and Maicon are not going to make a significant contribution? As it is, players like Balotelli and Dzeko don't play enough games, and we were in for Hazard anyway.ANY1aBLUE said:spacecadet said:grim up north said:He hasn't missed the point really has he.

the most baffling signing for me is rodwell....just dont like him.never did even at evertonFantasyIreland said:I think its fair to say it certainly wasn't our best window.
Nasty,however,i believe is also injured.........
Sinclair and Maicon are just baffling.
Marvin said:Garcia, Maicon, Nastasic will play a lot of games for City.Blue Haze said:Nastasic was fine. The rest I don't understand... yet. May take some time. For 50m you would expect some of that money to be near the starting 11.
A lot of of us knew the last window was a debacle.
Wow, that is depressing.............

Blue2112 said:Should have accepted we didn't get our targets and save the money for the next window and go with what we already had.
The squad at present only needs top drawer additions every window of one or two players and i'd prefer we did this than buy 4/5 fillers at the last minute.
Correct!
Everyone saying the signings weren't Mancini's first choice then why didn't he just say i'm not happy with them and wait until he got what was his first choice?
Like someone has said above, our two best performances all season didn't feature any of our new signings, coincidence?
