If you lot got your own way you'd all be bored shitless within five minutes, and piss off to another Forum. This Forum needs and thrives on people having opinions that swim against the tide and having the bollocks to express them. Jesus, a few short months ago those who had realised Mancini wasn't the right man for the job were getting abused on here by people who couldn't see the wood for the trees. Sinclair was a great signing last summer according to our resident 'experts'. Ditto Garcia.This isn't a Forum for cheerleading and sucking the club's cock. It's a Forum for fans to give their opinions, and in my opinion, Negredo isn't fit to lace Higuain's boots, and you can call me a spoilt brat all day if you like. I don't give a toss.

If any one raises a question with any color or shade of negativity, people either call you a rag or a spoilt brat.
When we signed Fernandinho, i was happy as ever, but still i started a thread questioning if we chose the correct Brazilian, as Paulinho had a buy out clause of around 18€ million.
He is younger, hungry, on low wages and already had a starting spot for Brazil.
Thread got pulled down, because "give the lad a break" ????
Now i start a thread asking the question if we should try to start and walk before we run.
We cant already expect to pull A-list talents from the academy, it needs time and therefor we will need to buy A-list players in the future for BOTH sporting and marketing reasons.
Paulinho had a starting spot cos he actually played in Brasil, home players kept the crowd more partizan for the Confed cup..
Well he justified his position at the Con fed cup for sure.
And to those saying he haven't proven anything i Europe, get your heads out of your ass.
Paulinho is clearly a talent and he isn't scared to get dirty, he shut down Spain's midfield, European proven or not, almost none has done that.
Neymar isn't proven in Europe also, yet people were banging their drums at the thought of City getting him, even if the price were €80 million
If you were going off what i wrote my head is firmly where it needs to be thank you.
my example was to justify the position city are in and needing to buy players that have European game experience.
you pay for the experience or you gamble and buy unproven and it doesnt look like city are in a gambling mood.
