UEFA Champions League/Europa League 2010/11 Matchday 4 *** Spoilers ***

Teams need continuity to gel, replacing half the entire team every year doesn't work.

Well he's the manager and not you, and if you're playing two defensive mid's your going to drop Milner.

Bellamy? a blow? You said he was distruptive and he had to go? :confused:

Ireland is probably still annoyed at being forced out.

I know but you asked how i would line up so? Yes.
He was disruptive etc but on the pitch he was class and its just a shame he let himself down off it. Especially now we could do with someone like him i think.

i haven't read houlliers comments but i'm assuming they were negative? the point is, before city got the crazy money, ireland was a stand out player and with the right nurturing, could've continued to progress, instead of getting shut out like he did

Yes they were. He was in the one season but then he just dropped off and i dont know what happened. Well he got played quite a few times and failed each time so why should he play?
 
You have to rofl at City paying Y.Toure £10m+ a year and sticking him on the bench. :D
 
Well the reason i have done that is because he isnt in form and is overweight. Him and Milner will interchange anyway depending on the opposition.
 
Most of the team that City have built are average.

Bellamy, you've really changed your tune on him :p
 
I would, but lets not get in to a debate.

oh you mean Mancini didn't like Bellamy's attitude and you adopted the same attitude towards him?

Bellamy didn't do much wrong at Manchester City imho, but we will leave it at that.
 
Yeh :)
Well when i saw what Bellamy did v Spurs and then the other things i was quite annoyed..Mancini then saw different things and disliked him for them.
Not much but what he did i am not too sure if it was worth sacking him but at the time i backed the manager as did others although now it is back firing.
 
Whatever Bellamy did, everyone else seems to be following suit now anyway.

Cardiff are going to have a monster team soon :D:D:D
 
It was always going to back fire ;)

City needed to spend their money "better" and treat players better :)

/end.

I'm off for a run.

Ok final comment on this :p
Well tbh i didnt think we would collapse like this as did Mancini.
That was discussed months ago and i still see no where/one that we could have got for the money we spent on other players.
 
I think Man City might just be finding out that they have vastly overpaid on overrated players. And I'm laughing my nads off, because everyone but Man City knew this.

I was going to ignore it but you see no where/one you could have got for the money you spent, I mean, did you really actually just say that. Barry, theres a 100 better players than him in that position, he's actually crap. Milner was the biggest pile of over rated rubbish, you could have got a better player at half the price. Johnson was actually quite cheap, SWP was a joke though neither Mancini nor I think the current owners fault. Yaya Toure, Adebayor, Cruz, Boateng. Sorry but you keep going for flavour of the month players at absurd pricing. IF Milner was playing as he is now, all season for Villa, they'd be happy to sell him for 10mil. Yaya Toure after another season on the bench, which may or may not have been his own fault, meant he was lazy, slow, not fit and doesn't seem interested, there was quite literally no reason to buy him and on those wages was a joke.

Simple fact is, bad managers use multiple defensive midfielders, if you have a great defensive midfielder, you don't need another one.

City could have put together a quite vastly better team for quite a lot less money if they actually went scouting for quality, rather than looked up a list of "whose most popular/talked about today" and started at the top.

Ozil, 18mil, Milner I can't even remember, 20 mil or so + Ireland, or 25mil + ireland. Either way, Milner should have gone for 8mil if Ozil was going for 18mil.

AS for Bellamy, again I'll point out, the only thing he did was show loyalty to Hughes and speak to the board apparently and complain a little. Instantly Mancini took a dislike to him, standing up for a fired manager who was doing VERY well isn't something to hate the guy for. He was also on fire, Mancini BEFORE Bellamy did anything, dropped him, had this "I won't speak to you and you won't play for me" arguing thing almost straight away, largely because Bellamy was recovering from an injury, he had a doctor and physio he knew well, and Mancini was being overly controlling and told him to go with a different team for no reason.

SO Bellamy gets dropped, for playing well and working hard to get back to fitness, Mancini goes back as the team starts playing badly, and its pretty clear from then on the two do not get on at all. The other stuff came WAY after that when it was already clear as day Mancini intended to sell him or let him rot in the reserves. At that point, might not be professional to keep quiet, but the problem was already there before Bellamy publically embarassed Mancini.
 
Laugh at city if you dare, they are the club any team could wish to be, time and money the only Arab team in the EPL money to burn, literally.

Roman spent how much and has won 8 major trophies in 7 years, City are adjusting, tbh they need a new manager, Chelase have been through 4 managers in 7 years.
