He's very much like Mihalovich was in Lazio at the end of his carreer: an absolute fucking liability, but almost worth to keep on the pitch thanks to his set pieces.

Erik thats exactly what me and my 2 eldest call him special teams lol.

I've begun to warm to Kolarov, but let's be honest he's a very average lb and I'd rather have Clichy or Zabs in there ahead of him any day of the week. However, I think he definetly has his use coming off the bench and playing left side of midfield, his overall crossing, passing and technique has improved as the season has gone on, there's still hope for him yet?!?

I dont know if we should sell him.....

We should definitely move him from left back though and bring in a back up to Clichy.
Kolarov has put in some very good crosses and, like mentioned here, has some good free kicks on him...
I like the idea of putting him on the left of a 5 man midfield where he wont have to primarily be a defender.
If we can get him to cut down on his audacious shots from 400 yards out then maybe we could have a semi-decent
role player.

But if Inter come in with some 10-12m+ pound offer then sell him.

Btw, very clever thread title.
I'm not really a City fan. I'm just here for attention.

Give him another season with us. I wouldn't give up on him yet. He's got better as the season has progressed.

Problem is we get jerked on every player that drops out the 1st team.

He's not displacing clichy anytime soon let's make some money for a change!

£10 to 12 million perhaps or am i being optimistic?


My Citroen C5 isn't exactly Lexus but I'm sure if we got 10m for him I'd be able to pick him up from Manchester and drive him to Milan.

Fantastic set pieces or not, he can't defend and that's that.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

You forgot the second of his 2 attributes Niall, he can kick a football really hard!

Stephan Jordan was and probably still is a better defender
