I am no fan Carl, but he's a prince next to Dzeko, who at 27 million looks fucking awful. As for Kolarov, words fail me.


You know what...I'm close to positive you're a red..I don't think I've seen a post by you yet where I havnt thought you have any sort of clue what you are talking about..every post


Lol. I'm hurt. And I'm a red. Seriously, you rate Dzeko? OK, we are all entitled to our opinion. Me too.


He was the leading scorer in the Germany last year kept up his record for the first part of this season. We know he can finish, give him time to understand his team mates and he will be gold. Even Tevez took awhile to get going. By the way, hows the proven powerhouse Bebe working out for you?

The jury is still out for me, he's young, talented and over-confident, therefore he deserves a chance.

Once he has had a decent run in the side I will decide whether to join you knee jerkers.

Talent in abundance and can be a game changer ...... When he wants to be. Fact is so far his impact has been negligible. Plenty of Blues wondering if he is worth all the fuss though. As stated before, I'd be stunned if he's still here by the end of next season.

Rags generally don't post regularly for over 5 years (everyone's postcount and joining date restarted in December 2005). It's a shitty thing to say and a pointless way to argue just because you disagree with someone's point. Wouldn't be much useful discussion if everyone called everyone else a rag.

As you may see from my post count, I'm new to this board. He said he supported manu, I never called him anything. It can be hard to interpret sarcasm through reading text.

Or maybe you're being sarcastic too? who knows

i dont see this. i keep reading and hearing things that he has all this world class ability but all he has scored is a few taps in alongside some attitude on the scale that i have never seen before. i want him to be our saviour biut i just cant see it.


Agree
Not in the same class as Wiltshire on present showing.

Dzeko looks fucking AWFUL?????

You must be thinking of another player because the player I've been watching has played about 5 games, scored twice and has four assists, with several keepers making class saves to keep him out on other occasions.

Awful? Dear me.

Haha magic sense/shite!

Its a thin line mate.

Balo and Dzeko are both world class finishers. Both have fantastic feet and great movement. One lacks pace but is aware and has the attitude to make up for it. The other is fast, supremely talented with a DISGRACEFUL attitude.

Who will become a truely world class striker worth twice what we paid for him in a couple of years?

I feel a poll coming...

Well Balotelli infuriated me today.

I think it should have been a penalty, but he should have just let it go and got on with the job like a pro. I don't buy into all this needing to be nurtured and he's still young shit. He plays fir himself as far as I can see and it makes him a liability.

He may be the talent evetone keeps talking about, but I agree with 9seconglegend, I've not seen much that confirms this. He has scored goals for us, it's true, but we need team players that aren't liabilities. His attitude today was petulant to say the least and I was glad when he was subbed.

A future at City? needs to change quickly or otherwise we should get rid

OK I'll answer this rationally.

I agree that his hot headedness does indeed make him a bit of a liability. Yes I also agree that he should have let it go after he was barged over in the area.

BUT he did not remotely play for himself today. Up until he went off he had actually worked pretty bloody hard for the team. He had chased back and dispossessed County players on a number of occasions. His running was intelligent, he had some great touches and tried to set up a number of his colleagues throughout the match. Things didn't quite run for him but the same was true of pretty much the whole team throughout the first half and at least the first 10 mins of the second.

His head did not go down and he wasn't going to ground like some are trying to make it seem.

The fact that some idiots on here choose to focus on the negatives and wholly ignore the (many) positives just beggars belief. He's a fucking City player....what on earth does ANYONE who supports us have to gain by getting on his back (...unjustly IMO).

People don't have to like the lad but FFS if you can't see that a barmy, unfounded and vocal aversion to him can only possibly harm City then honestly I don't understand where some people come from.

There is a difference Roy in being frustrated and being a cunt.

Diouf and Gary Neville are cunts, they are judged as cunts by their own fans and ever their own players. Balotelli is a frustrated young man who is loved by his team mates and the majority of sane blues.

A big difference Mr walker, a big difference.

Balotelli obviously has some problems, but I'm sure Mancini will talk to him about it. Didn't Mancini know Balo at Inter? He probably knows more about Balo than we do. With time I'm sure that Balotelli will only get better. He has immense talent, and it's fucking idiotic to be saying he's shite and should be shipped to AC Milan.
