I understand at some point his attitude, he is under heavy stress and so on, but the way he acted on the field, if i was a Wolfsburg fan i would hate to see him playing again for my team. He had a chance to win it all in the last moments and acted almost like Mario in that friendly in the US when he was substituded by Bob after a few seconds.
I am not saying this is somekind normal, but i think the situation was this, he wants to join, however, Wolfsburg forced him to play today to show us they mean business. We are in a despicable situation if you ask me when they are trying to milk us for every penny we have for a player that IS A HUGE GAMBLE.
I don't want to be in any of our board shoes right now. If this move will be a flop, our future transfers might be affected
Peter Parker:
Every single player that has ever transferred to City, always carries some risk that they might take too long, or never settle into such a well-established team. So, should City only buy bargain players and promote the youngsters, just so they won't look foolish for splurging?
You want City to buy Isco, a player whose potential that Pellegrini is thoroughly aware of. So, there must be a good reason for Txiki & Manuel opting for KDB, instead. Isco scored 6 goals & 9 assists in all comps, last season. Very good stats, for a player who didn't play enough. However, KDB had more chances created per minute played, than Isco.
Regarding Mario's failed backheel attempt, he was merely trying to imitate and replicate Awana Diab's backheel goal, that had just gone viral around the football world, in July, 2011. I don't see how that is related or similar to KDB's performance today.
