Off to China apparently. Can't decide if he's the biggest waste of talent ever or just wasn't that good in the first place

He had talent but big empty wilderness between his ears.

Real shame to see his decline as a player. Just shows talent alone will get you nowhere, you also have to put in the hard yards as well. If the dippers get any more than £10m for him they will have done remarkably well

Flashes of brilliance but who doesn't. Average player who played a key part in our history. Good luck to him but in reality he was never good enough.

I loved him. How could you not? And I thought he was more sinned against than sinner. Just not really that good a striker. The top men do it every week, he did it maybe half a dozen times in all his spell with us.

I'll always remember the penalties, the shoulder goal, why always me, winding up Wio at Wembley and the pass to Agueroooo.

I've forgotten the rest, which is probably for the best

Thought he played a big part on 13th May 2012. He came on and just start peppering their goal, we were pissing about with the ball up until he came on and start going direct making Kenny work, I think that had a big impact on the outcome.

Ultimately a let down though.

I think there's definitely more he could have done with his talent, but from a City perspective at least he had his best days with us (even if he was frustrating).

He destroyed United in the 6-1 and played a big role in our FA Cup success and the 3-2 win over QPR.

And there were lots of other good moments such as his Everton goal and the winning penalty against Spurs.

I think he was given a hard time by referees and the media. He was more immature than a bad guy. But when he did leave it was probably the right time.

A player who had a ton of potential, but once you get to a certain age if you Haven't kicked on its all downhill. Had he and Mancini stayed together he'd be a better player now, but so few could get him to work for the team.
Tracking back is overrated.
