Yes Kompany is injured.

We're gonna have to play some fucking quality football if we've just got Bellers up front on his own. We need some height up there.

That's a thought, what about Mad Frank on the right, Bellers on the left, Shaun and Stevie in the middle and Benji or an academy lad like Vlad up front. We would have a very tight group who could cover all aspects of defence with the ability to quickly turn the game on the counter.

Benjani is injured anyway. Why did we loan out both Schofield AND Bojinov?? Knowing that Crocky was injured as well!

I've no idea mate, I rate Bojinov highly as well.

Benjani was working out this morning but is far from fit enough for this weekend.
I doubt also if anyone will be losing sleep over not having Bojinov around for the game on Sunday either. I don't think he would have helped much and isn't he having difficulty getting into the Parma side?

Wouldn't have minded having Schofield as an option though

Bojinov has played a whopping 19 minutes this season for Parma. I don't get the love for this guy? He openly admitted he wanted to return to Italy as soon as he was fit. For me that spoke volumes for his character.

Possibly because we have Ade, Carlos, Craig and Robby as well, what were the chances of all them being out at the same time? Include RSC and we've got more than our fare share. We could always bring Ball in from the reserves and give him a crack?

After eliciting praise City boss Mark Hugest after the game, Bojinov reacted to reports tipping him for a summer return to Italy by telling The Sun: "My heart is only with City and I only want to play here."

Just because the Parma manager doesn't play him doesn't mean that the guy is shite.

I think he's a very good player when fit and still young. I hope Hughes doesn't offload him.

Were going to have to bring David Ball into the squad and stick the lad on the bench or Nimely.

Lets hope Bellers doesnt pick up an injury in the next few games or were really fucked.

No doubt the guy has some talent but he does need a big striker to play off imo. IF he was here on Sunday he wouldnt have that and to play him on his own up front I think would be worse than useless. I agree that not be picked by the Parma manager doesnt mean he is shite but it equally doesnt say much positive either does it. Maybe he isn't fully fit for some reason but whatever it is he wouldnt be featuring here either.

Yet one month after that interview he said this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... eturn.html

I agree he isn't shite, but he certainly doesn't deserve his near legendary status for what is in effect 1 goal against AC Milan and 1 goal against spurs. Caicedo has performed better than Bojinov for Manchester City.

Richards--Toure--Lescott--Bridge

---Swp--------Ireland------Barry---
---------------Bellamy----------------


This is how I would play. Mad Zabba and De Jong to fuck up everything in midfield that comes near them.

He may prefer Sylvinho in left midfield, moving Barry back to mid.
