[ColinBellsjockstrap]

Rigsby.........lol!

Wonder what Miss Jones would have to say about this...............

 

[Fanzone Danny]

I'd also like to see this, if anyone can assist? Considering he wasn't playing much under Hughes and our defence has leaked very few since Mancini came in I'd hazard a guess that Petrov has cost us very few or even no goals at all



Arrogance I don't mind in a footballer. As for him not giving a toss about us lot, then I can't say I've ever felt that way with him. It's not like he's been waxing lyrical about other clubs like Robbie was and Petrov always gives 100% on the pitch. That will do for me and that's as much of a toss I expect from a City player



Yea but with our resources you could say that with almost any player in the squad. We could have bigger fish to fry than Shay, Lescott, Toure, Micah, SWP, Barry etc. Point is Petrov has been quality ever since he settled in with us (took about 7 games in his first season) and is a good member of the squad. We're probably gonna be in Europe next year which will be an extra competition and Petrov could prove to be as valuable as he's always been since he came in

Some of the stuff written about him on here in the last week is absolutely ridiculous. I find it pretty astounding considering he's been a good player for us this season

Bloody Iphone..............

don't doubt what u r saying Al just playing devils advocate really as personally I can take or leave petrov. From a personal point of view I can't relate at all to petrov as I struggle with his body language and attitude towards fans (again only going off what I have heard from half a dozen people including ones within the club) can't doubt what u say about his contribution going forward and if u were to ask me should we try and keep him given where we could be next season I'd probably say keep him

 

[waspish]

You know what when I look at a player I look at his positives not negatives I wish more fans would do this.

 

[ono]

As much as I would like to see Petrov stay the fact he is a fooking lazy bastard who doesnt track back. For me the best game he played for us was against Blackburn when he ran the line beating the defence and putting in some awesome crosses. Unfortunatly he now decides that it is not what a winger should do and instead decides to travel with the ball into the centre of the pitch. Although it was a funny sarcastic post the facts still are that he is not operating as an out and out winger and the reason he plays on the right is because he offers no cover for Garido. Strange really when the majority of the board slammed Robinho for the same thing but it seems okay for Petrov to do it.

you do realise this has absolutely nothing to do with Petrov not being arsed to run up the wing don't you???

I actually think he's also there to crowd the midfield when he comes inside. I think it's very deliberate by Mancini.

This is a thread for all those who want Martin Petrov out of our club as there seems to be an awful lot of us knocking about here all of a sudden. Despite being one of our better performers this season, we've decided that we should sack him off in the summer and let him join one of our close rivals on a free. Now that we've signed an unproven kid from middlesbrough with a handful of premier league starts, we see no reason why we would want a player with 5 goals and 7 assists from 10 games this season (stats courtesy of bluenova) in our squad. Yes we know he's got a rocket of a shot and is the bets crosser of the ball at the club, but he doesn't win enough 50/50's and that's what attacking players are all about isn't it?

We also hate the way he wants to win so much and sometimes gets frustrated on the pitch when things aren't going his way. It was also unacceptable that he was unhappy at being frozen out by our previous, inept manager. We know he has since said he's very happy, wants to stay, that he was just pissed off with previous poor management and Mancini obviously rates him, but he's made his bed now and he's gonna have to lie in it. Also, at 31, he is too old. No top teams have players of his age in, FACT

And let's not forget the cardinal sin of pointing to his name on the back of his shirt every time he bangs one in.

And worst of all, worst of fucking all. Some of us saw him having a quiet meal with his family and when we interrupted him to pester him for a photo he wouldn't fucking do it. If that's not a good enough reason to get rid I don't know what is. PETROV OUT

So just to recap, we want Petrov out because:
We don't like his celebration (this is worse than you think because he scores a lot so we see it quite often)
He's too competetive and wants to win too much
At 31 he's too experienced
He doesn't win enough challenges and will never make a good left back

Agree with this 100%

I really don't understand why BM posters can't like more than one player at a time. Just as one player hits some good form you lot turn on any other player in order to make up for this.

Petrov has been great when asked to play this season, his stats for the season show this.

Just because we have money people now want to replace any player who has a poor game just like that.

If Tevez doesn't score in the next 4 or 5 games then I fully expect him to get a good kicking on here again.

And we can only pray that Johnson makes a good debut, I fear anything less than a first half hat trick will have the forum in uproar.

Still, at least Craig Bellamy is safe.

Bellamy's safe for now, but I'm working on it. A few more poor games and I'm on the case. Just to piss the 'Bellamy Is God' brigade off. Should be a good laugh to get them frothing at the mouth that anyone would have the nerve to question his divinity.

 

[Kinkysboots]

Petrov is great on his day and is a great crosser of a ball but the fact is he goes missing M.I.A far too often. Id love to keep him as a squad playe but something tells me his attitude wouldnt tolate that. You have to ask yourself would he get in Uniteds, chelseas, arsenals, barcelona side. NO he wouldnt and thats where we have to be aiming. To be a top player you have to have something extra than being able to play well when the sun is shining and we are two-nil up. He lacks heart, bottle and desire. EOS

Gloves. Get rid.

Gloves. Get rid.

I'm not overly keen on his boots. Get rid.
