Mario...uh oh

Comparing this with RSC or Bojinov is a lot like....my cat has four legs, my dog has four legs, therefore my dog is a cat.

Two guys who were horribly injury prone throughout their careers and a guy who is just having a bad run of injuries.

If he keeps getting these injurys... your dog might yet turn out to be a cat.

City use the Bridgewater Hospital for all medicals I'm lead to believe. We have done for years. Maybe we should move to a Spire or BUPA or the Foster's Brewery directly opposite :-)

I was really expecting to see balotelli playing alongside Dzeko tbh. Was looking forward to it. Very disappointed it may not happen for quite some time.

Hi Ted

I was reading the Daily Mirror today (OK OK before I get urinated on, I was at my Mum's and that's the paper she gets) and in it Bobby Manc was quoted as praising the quality of forward players we now have and saying that it would be possible to play Balotelli, Dzeko, Tevez and Silva all in the same team at the same time. Not in every game, necessarily, but at various times.

If ever such a line up were to be sent out on the pitch, that would be something special which makes Balotelli's new/recurrent injury doubly disappointing. However, on that basis, I wonder if Bobby Manc will retain Ade in the January window and, if so, would he, at some point, include him with Dzeko, Tevez and Silva, instead of an unavailable SuperMario ??

Can always get Bellers back as cover, but maybe time to blood some of the youngsters to see what they are made of

you can't recall a player who is on a season long loan

Don't know if it's different, or not, but Fergiescum has just recalled three loanees from Preston.

Both had loan contracts until 16 January, eg implicitly they were there for the season, but the contracts were on a month to month or 3 month sort of deal. Of course nothing to say thats not the case with Bellers, but I would have thought Bobby would have ensured that he couldnt come back early under any circumstances or he would have ended up training with the kids

Maybe some good news, they are not thinking of surgery??

Disappointed to hear hes out for a month.A bit worrying how often he has been sidelined.

Hello!

I just get the impression Ade isn't wanted. Whether that's for football reasons, because he's a mental case, boyfriend beating git or all 3, whatever; Bob doesn't seem to want him.

Strange comment from Bob when he said Ade 'must wait for one week' re leaving the club though. I wonder exactly what he's waiting for? It can't be Balotelli's prognosis they're waiting on because they said that's a month away, so presumably either the buying club is waiting on another deal going out before they sign him or we are waiting for a possible swap deal to come to fruition & the other club needs to get in a replacement for the swapee. Interesting.

I would like to see Ade as a possible option, but he's become the invisible man. Weird. Mancini has him out for a reason.

[Crossie]

I hope we send him back to Italy to recover. He can have 2 months over there and get his head straight, and be back for the last few games on the run in, exactly when we might need him.

A full none international summer rest and pre-season and we will have a proper player on our hands next season.
