I agree entirely, and now they have a bunch of unhappy players who last year were first choice every game and treated as pampered little stars, whereas this year those same players are now sat on the bench rotting. Mancini has bought the wrong players. Where's the world class in your defence for a start? Surely you build from the back? Mancini hasn't got a ****ing clue, the amount of money you have, it's virtually limitless and look at the purchases? He's playing fantasy football I'm surprised he hasn't just fielded 11 strikers, although I guess Mancini is too busy hoarding all the defensive midfielders together.
Barring the players who are playing for the clubs they supported as kids, Ronaldo, Messi etc you have the pick of anyone in the world who you are willing to pay for, I just think Mancini could have done a lot better and after not winning a pre-season game and having a disasterous start based on the amount of money you've spent I'd say Mancini will be out by January at this rate.
The point is that Chelsea had players they could build a team around, Lampard, Terry etc, City had nobody and they still have nobody, who's the team built around?
