Ummm, Vieira was indeed signed by City on a 6 month deal with a 12 month optional extension.

No, Tevez is world class and Ade isn't far behind him - that's why they've scored goals. That and a consistant run in the side.

Its funny you forgot about the sunderland home game where Santa Cruz scored a brace and we got the three points.... and you say he was shit against Sunderland away?

He came on and our play changed for the better - no doubt about it.

You don't really watch football anymore mate, I don't think - I reckon you just sit at home with your hughes doll, stabbing it and thinking of new ways to keep old arguments going. This thread is fucking ridiculous and has been pointed out as such over and over. Like with many threads you started over the last year.

I've never witnessed such a disintegration of a cracking poster in the history of this board. Its panto stuff at this stage, it really is. Santa Cruz is the easy target of the hughes legacy and that and that alone is why you wanted to start a thread about him. Vieira was signed by Mancini, so that's ok then.

Starting a thread about our back up striker right when we were all looking for why we didn't make champions league football was a fucking joke - when you know right well that Vieira was our main signing supposed to carry us there from January.

And you think a 33 year old (yeah right) slow, slow midfielder was the "best option available" to the richest club in the world on the cusp of champions league football?!! Mancini, YOU and a couple of random posters thought so.

In fact, you gave me shit for pointing out that it was a stupid signing. I believe you said "We've nothing to lose".

Hmmm...

You two are both idiots, if anything has cost us the champions league spot this season it's been our dodgy as fuck fullbacks.

My thoughts on Santa are that he has been seriously underused in the last few months.I know he is far from perfect but he is a goalscorer and he would have scored goals. On his performances apart from the Sunderland home game he was very significantly part of us turning the game around away at Sunderland and also lead the line well away at Fulham where he scored the opener.

I can only assume Mancini didn't use him more because he doesnt really fancy him.That's fair enough even if I think he was wrong and I would expect he won't be with City next year as we sign 2 or 3 different strikers.I also wouldnt be surprised if Ade isn't with us either.

Santa Cruz hasnt lived up to the price tag because of injury and lack of chances.

He's played some good games for us (Sunderland at home, Fulham away, im sure there were one or 2 more), but he's a reserve striker for all intents and purposes. I dont think it suits him, he's a player who needs a team building around. But he;s not really good enough for that.

Not good enough to start for a top 4 club and has the game to be an impact sub as he's one of the best target men ive seen. But he's yet to show that regulally.

Ill give him another chance next season.
