Is he still alive? Is he injured?

I have a feeling that Bobby made his mind about him after the game with Stoke and Arsenal. He might go sooner than we think. Even this winter if things remain the same.

Weird imho, but this is what happens when Marwood brings who ever he wants, instead of Bobby''s new and improved napkin list.

Has been injured along with garcia and nasti

I think he's a bit shit. Played a reserve game and failed to impress. Out of his depth me thinks.

Even when he was fit, Bobby didn't gave him a full 90 minutes game.

Fucking great goal when playing for the Supahoops though....

While it was a questionable signing, its still a bit early to be writing him off!! lots of others were playing crap should they be thrown to the lions as well?

It's a strange one as he hasn't looked anywhere near good enough - I hope he'll be a Milner & eventually come good, although as a replacement for Johnson there's not much difference other than a lower wage & more money in our account - certainly Johnson isn't showing anywhere near the type of form that had some of us questioning if we should hold onto him

Far too early to judge. One move v Villa, he did a great run & pinged one diagonally right on Mario's head. Not something we are used to seeing.

I think there's plenty of ability in him if we just let him settle in. If the team had been playing well, I recon he would have looked a lot better. We had a disjointed start & it's not made it easy for the new boys.

None of the new signings has been match fit, probably because of the lack of a full preseason. As a consequence Sinclair and the others have had injuries and niggles. It will take a few months for them to settle and become integrated into the team. You cant expect players moving to a top team to have an instant impact. Give then time then judge. VK and NDJ did not particularly impress when they arrived either and since have done much much better than ok.

If someone already judged him, well, that is Bobby i think.There were moments when he was fit, when we needed a player to step up the speed, but he was left on the bench.

It really starts to look that obvious that he didn't want him, so he will not play him that much and force the board to bring him a winger that he really wants.

The last thing we have needed is a winger trying to find his feet. Selecting Sinclair to play was a huge mistake in the first place & cocked up the team.

Why would we sign a player we didn't want? Thats just nonsense. He was aquired as a squad player. As Ted says, far too early to judge and I think it will be next season we start seeing more of him

Blame Marwood.

None of these new signings has made me stroke my cock till now..although Nasti had me playing pocket billiards for a while , but that was more in hope of knocking Ripley off his perch more than anything.

In the old days, people used to expect signings to gradually become part of the team over the season. Nowardays it seems they are expected to step straight in, not least by the manager. The idea of Shankley dropping two champions & sticking a 19 year old kid plus a veteran fullback to play in the Bernabau doesn't even merit a thought.

Liverpool often used to play people for a year in the reserves before trusting them.

Have I wandered onto Bluemoon?

No, definitely Mancityfans.net. Had to check to be sure.

Noone paid 30 million quid in signing fees and salaries in them days.......... play them in the reserves for a season in this day and age and you would be hung for it.

He'll get a start on saturday against his old team.

Although I do agree with You and Ted:
a) far and far too early
b) never a point in slating a boy of ours, unless Savic or Scapuz

someone would say: cheers, now
