I doubt mancini would trust Richards at CB. He is too easily drawn out of position and quite clumsy. He loves going forward and is normally reluctant to get back after an attack. Wingback suits Micah though.

Maybe bobby wants micah to revert to his CB role?


Zabba can play anywhere as we know. I thought he would fill in for NDJ but now we have Javi, so ?

Is the general consensus were happy with the signing then?
I'm not convinced. He will provide lots of experience, but is that worth the £3 milion and £100,00 pay packet? Not for me right now, but i will enjoy him trying to prove me wrong.

He's a squad strengthener no doubt. Seems like in this window Garcia will be our only "star" (ish) the rest are to improve depth. Its what we needed, we already have our Galactico's.

Squad depth is what we need for the big mid season clog up of CL &League cup plus international friendies.

Apart from hazard i don't think any other player signed in the prem this window would of improved us much.

Confirmed he has taken a cut on his £75,000 a week wages at Inter to come here.

Well worth the gamble.

I've been saying for long that I see Micah as the best allround defender since Paolo Maldini. I'would not trade Micah with none in the world. never. I admit I am very much biased towards the Lad: can't help but loving him.
Agree on the only issue with him is frailty, but I've also been wondering for quite long that what next Mancini should do to develop him to perfection is to teach him how to contain his explosive physical exuberance in order to prevent him from few enjuries.

Maicon for that fee and pay cut it's a no brainer, will fix any problem of depth and, imo, mainly apply to 5-3-2 set up/switch when oppositions will comand.
Only concern is about time needed to work on fixing that plan B, as seen at Anfield

1. "unintelligible language"
2. "ACID QUEEN"
3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"
5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City

You'd need to make a very good psychiatrist in order to guess what next in a eight yrs long line of hatred...


In Roger Ailes/Donnie Drumpf's words: "don't know it for a fact, but many people say so..."
there must be some truth, then!
