******Official Champions v Al Hilal******

[Tokyo Blue]

Im now living in Guatemala and Ive lost track of time and space..missed the first half due to this............having said that , it would seem that it was probably best to miss it.

Has Lescott played shite?

Not a single fucking tackle, header or pass made. Time to sell.

[Nigels Tackle]

lopes looks physically fairly strong for a 16 year old ... not that he is very tall, but he is not slight. Rekik looks like he could develop into a beast in D.

He looks much older than 16, but if he is, he looks like a good prospect. I'm always impressed with Rekik whenever I've seen him play. Looks very composed and comfortable on the ball and to me looks ready to take over from Lescott immediately !
Al Helal are playing some decent football and had some chance but their finishing is poor. Assistant refs called 2 wrong offside decisions against us and one against Helal. Sacpuzzi and AJ were in with good shooting positions.
Good to see City back in action but its very clearly most players are well short of full fitness and are taking it easy. Let's see what changes are made for the 2nd half.

Both kids look very good to me.

With Rekik, I wonder if he will be good enough aerially to be a Prem CB but one thing he will be is a player, in some position. I could imagine him doing Nige's job in his sleep. He is a talent.

fucking peado. got my eye on you...

that's what made the venue priceless. even in a bloody humid summer evening... :-)

on topic: Ted, what do You make of Rekik prospect to shadow the CB role in serious game?
also agree that it would be nice stopping to single out our lads even in the first summer stroll. I am as disappointed as everyone about AJ attitude, but...

[Blue Blood]

Jelavic ?

According to the OS twitter we have Mario Jelavic on trial...

No, Mario is an 18 year old striker from Split, Croatia. He's a product of the Hajduk academy. He played a couple of minutes for the first team last season, but decided not to sign a professional contract. I guess he's looking for a club now & as we had another young Hajduk prospect on trial earlier this year (Ivan Dzoni) that's most likely where the contact comes from (maybe the same agent or sth, dunno).

2nd half team is: Johansen, Boyata, Savic, Kolo, Scapuzzi, Weiss, Razak, Omar, Jelavic, Bunn, Helan

Jelavic ?

Isn't he the lad from Hajduk Split? If so, massive talent but drinking problems. Steaua had him in a trial last year, the kid dribbled the hell out of every player, just for fun.

Apparently yes ;)

I'm having a drinking problem right now, I can't decide what to drink next.

[Dzeko4fourgoals]

This seems a task too big for Savic.

[Blue Blood]

Loving watching this game, it's like a throwback to all the league games when we were shit under pearce.


Ahhh memories...

[Superbia]

ha savic has improved

[Ted Hughes]

What the fucking hell is Mancini junior doing there ? Is it in Bob's contract ?

[1950]

Kolo close there.

And Jelavic off for the one & only: Andrea Mancini.

Apparently it's Filippo, not Andrea. Gutted.
