hopefully robbie, not good enough for our team!
Not good enough for our team my arse but it probably would mean the end of him as i think Manicini will want to hang onto petrov and swp even if just as squad players as the only natural wingers in the squad they offer us something different.
On another thread one of the inter fans was saying Mancini's preferred system is something like this:
______________Centre Forward
Winger________________Second Striker
_______Attacking Mid
_____________________________Hybrid Wing-Back/Midfielder (ie Zanetti)
_______________Holding Mid
For us that would mean either swp or petrov (maybe Robbi but i get the feeling he prefers a more natural winger) playing as winger
Centre Forward and Second Striker would the be picked from Bellers, Tevez, Ade, Cassano and another target man (if RSC is part of the Cassano deal. Again Robbi could also play here but is not a natural fit.
Only attacking mid we have a the moment is Ireland so the rumour of another coming in would fit this too. Although again robbi could play here its not his natural game
Hybrid Wing back is a bit of a conundrum. Barry could probably do this from the left with SWP as a winger on the right, but if petrov is going to be Playing on the left im not sure who could do this job for us on the right, maybe Zabb?
Holding mid is fairly obvious between de jomg and Komps with barry filling in if necessary
