i have great respect for Mancini but as I said last month the fact that both Balotelli and Tevez are still on this team will keep them from winning anything, and that's on him. They are both complete nutjobs and will tear apart a locker room when not happy but great freakin players when they want to be. Not worth having these guys around as 4th/5th strikers as they'll rip this team apart. No idea why they didn't take Corinthians' offer for Tevez and I'm sure they could have sold Balotelli for good money
roll-i can't answer the balotelli part of your statement...yes he has a world of talent and yes he is a nutjob...believe it or not he does get on well with the whole team...he is a practical jokester and everyone loves him(save maybe mancini!!!)....apparently any time his tantrums come up the players ignore it and say he is just a youngster...honest truth on that one...and the reason why tevez never went to cointhians for the first amount of cash...what was it? like 40 million ore something like that ?.....was because at the time that idiot gary cook was making all the moves for the sheiks and they put 100% of their trust in his soccer knowledge thinking that they could get the whole $60 million all in one shot...yeah keep dreaming mate....and that is a total fact...unfortunately it has backfired tenfold..and it is even more disheartening since that prick cook is not even a part of the board anymore...like i said previously...it's comical that somethings of these natures that happen on playgrounds are happening with a top european club...and i say that last part with much hesitation..because they have not showed it on the big stage at all
because he's out of fn control. he used to be fine. first 6 years never gave more than 6 reds in a season and avg less than 2.5 yellows per game. last 3 years he wanted to be the center of attention and has given 30 red cards and upped his yellows per game to 3.38, 3.90, and 3.49. last year he gave out a red in 1 of every 3 games. And he's getting worse....
this is only his 9th match in the new season and he's given 33 yellows and 6 reds...in 8.5 fucking games!
the mancini jr. incident was a lil blurb a month back...it's insignificant...he is only there so long as his father is....he has no future at the club regardless...hopefully much like his father...although, i do find today's line up very aggressive....adam johnson is back....milner gets a start over barry...nasri and dzeko sit.....nutball balotelli is up front w/aguero....think there are gonna definitely be some goals scored....kolarov is back as well as well as lescot, so there's a goal right there for rovers....very interested to see mario and kun work together....good on ya whichever way you roll today...o yea and phil dowd is reffing this game...he should be good for a penalty or 2....
book is definitely taking my $ on this over...wow...never have i seen such sloppy passing from city around the box...and for the 2nd week in a row in league play the opposition is content on dropping all 10 in the box to defend...absolutely no imagination in this game almost 1/2 hr. into the match
didn't see nor hear that...guess that is going in the email to my bro in a few minutes to see if that is true...if it is, not that i want the german..but more the $ and good riddance of all the baggage of carlito...saddens me it came to this cuz i really loved his desire... but the club can only take so much...i heard it was a much less tense locker room over the past week since he's been gone..apparently animosity towards his fellow country-men were starting to show as well in recent weeks due to their lack of backing him....well if you act like a jackass why would anyone have your back...terrible waste of talent at age 27.....
