The Man City Thread [10/11]

i did not understand this, Hargreaves!!!

Citeh might I ask how is the crime rate in Manchester involving futbol passion? Just wondering. Btw Loan Mario Balotelli so he can rot in a 2nd division club. That will fix the kids "spoiled little brat mentality" the kid is a twat. He could be so amazing but his ego is just bad.

Why did city buy hargeaves ?.Balotelli thinks that he is the god of football.He shud be loaned out

Mancini said they need Hargreaves to stand in for Yaya Toure during the African Cup of Nations in January (since Patrick Vieira retired). Honestly though, he is not even match fit, they should not have signed him. I guess all those workout vids he posted on YouTube worked, hah.

As for Balotelli, well... late puberty maybe?

Mancini: City need more players

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini insists he is still short of players despite splashing out a whopping £210 million since taking charge of the English Premier League club.

City failed to protect a 2-0 lead on Sunday and were pegged back to 2-2 by Fulham at Craven Cottage. Two goals inside 46 minutes from Sergio Aguero appeared to have given the visitors a comfortable lead, but Fulham recovered to claim a point thanks to goals from Bobby Zamora and Danny Murphy in the second half.

The result meant City lost their 100 per cent domestic record this season and fell two points behind Manchester United at the head of the table. Mancini claims he was short on options to freshen up the side, despite overseeing a major spending programme over the last 18 months at Eastlands.

He complained that injuries to James Milner and Nigel de Jong had weakened his squad in the key midfield area as he attempts to juggle the demands of competing in the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League. He made just two changes following the midweek 1-1 draw with Napoli and said: "I don't have players at this moment, I can only change the full-backs or the strikers.

Vieira's retirement ****ed him.

Can't believe he said that. He arguably has the best squad in the league. Maybe needs one more cb. He is asking for the transfer window to be re-opened because he drew at Fulham.....WOW. Managing Citeh must be like FM.

I'm gone for nearly a year and the only people I see posting in this thread are United fans. A bit antsy, are we scum?

Oh, and Mancini's comments about "not having enough players" was clearly lost on everybody. He meant he couldn't make the appropriate changes IN MIDFIELD because Milner and DeJong are injured and Hargreaves is Hargreaves and hasn't been match fit for 9 years.

Back when he was winning the Champions League.

Hargreaves played and scored!!!!!!

Hargreaves > Carrick & Fletcher.

Maybe 5 years ago.

Fit Hargreaves is, but he played 3 matches during last 4 years.

I don't think his body can cope with physical side of the game anymore.

You know that he's going to play 40 matches this season and not get injured or fatigued. That's just how these things work.

He scored !!

So Balotelli scored.He didnt try a backheel hahaha

It was a nice strike, incredibly accurate. Aguero getting the assist was lucky because it was tough to score from there. Oh and Aguero is like me playing PES.

I'm not saying I agree with Tevez, but if he was pissed about De Jong going on for Dzeko instead of him, then I can understand why he would be upset. Because I was sitting next to a City fan and he was disgusted with that substitution while I just laughed at the idiocy. "I just wanted to calm it down for a few minutes"... ugh, typical Italian. The game was as calm as it was going to get. Bayern hadn't scored in 20 minutes, and time was ticking. The way Aguero and Dzeko were playing, Tevez should have been on at halftime, not in the 70th minute like Mancini was thinking.

Wow, refreshing to know Vitor Pereira isn't the only Carlos*ass allowed to make substitutions out there.
