His poor man management has seen him exile players like Bridge, Adebayor, and Bellamy and then
get rid of them. Looks like he's doing the same with Dzeko too.

Yeah, bring back Bridge. World's best left back. That's the key mistake Mancini has made.

Yeah, cuz that's what I was saying......


With all due respect, that is exactly what you said!

Youre right, I did say he exiled Bridge but nowhere did I say that I wanted him back.
I grouped those players together as examples of who he exiled but if you read the first line it says
that I want (only) Adebayor back. My god....
I'm not really a City fan. I'm just here for attention.

But when he's not doing it, he's a complete waste of a shirt.

Gone


That's the thing. You can quote his stats all you want but when he is not in the mood, it's like playing with 10 men. Granted, when he is up for it he can win the game on his own. He is perfect for the club like Spurs but people here seem to be looking for perfect record next year so can't really afford player like Adebayor who takes games off.
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?

Better touch, better skill, better awareness of team mates, better passer, better at heading, etc. Move also don't break down when he touches the ball....In fact, Adebayor is excellent at keeping the ball ticking.

What he lacks is work ethic, and it seems he is improving at Spurs.
Under Mourinho at Madrid was the hardest I've seen Adebayor work...that man works wonders.

Sadly, I don't think he will play for us again as long as Mancini is the manager. I think same for Tevez next season.


I agree with everything here except that last sentence. Tevez will be back next year fo' sho'.

I think this lazy stuff is just a myth perpetuted by our fans,if he was so lazy why has he kept Defoe on the bench.I think like some had the same issue concerning Yaya people are mistaken.I'd have him back.And I like his smile.

He was lazy. He's working harder at Spurs for definite. He was lazy during his reign with us though when things weren't going well. He skulked about doing nothing.

He did what he always seems to do with a new start and that's work his socks off and play really well but it doesnt last all that long.That's what Arsenal fans said about him and once that initial energy goes he is still ok but nothing remotely special apart from the odd game.Same at City,Madrid and now Spurs.

Its not mate, the exact same accusation was levelled against him by arsenal fans.

They told us what he was like, most were glad to get rid and bank the money. Some posted on here and told us exactly what would happen, but we didnt believe it.......until it all came true. Fantastic player, unplayable on the day, but extremely unreliable
