I won't be clicking on it but what do they say that is wrong or that many City fans are not already saying?

But that would mean they are talking sense!

I actually agreed with most of what they said.

so do you think that Mancini is using AJ as a scapegoat to cover his own failings, that the club needs players who really "care" like Craig Bellamy -etc etc etc

No and yes. Only time will tell about AJ but I have a feeling that Mancini is handling him ok to a point.He probably has been getting a little too big headed and needed grounding a little and by not selecting him for the prem games it might work. Speaking out about him also to me suggests he rates the lad and is genuinely trying to help him. As I say only time will tell whether Mancini is handling him right or whether, as others suggest he should be playing him and sorting the "issues" out in a different way.

As for people caring more I would 100% agree.I want players in my team to care and I want it to show.That's why I havent been too bothered about the so called spats on the field we have seen between Ade and Vinnie and Yaya and Vinnie. Bellamy might have had other stuff going on behind the scenes but on the field he was really at it and showed how much it mattered and we need more of that from the whole team and that includes the management.

Not really sure whats goin on but i do think Mancini should not have made his comments on AJ public.
I think we have missed Bellamy's presence and proff attitude in certain games..Would he have made a diff in the derby and brum games.I think so.
