    City need a manager.
    On what basis.

    Oh right he's a Moron.

    With a higher Win% than Dalglish.

    And more Titles per season than Dalglish.

    What does that make Dalglish?


    Both very good Managers in my opinion.

    It makes Mancini a man who's team has outspent the rest of the league 3 times over in the past 3 years.

    I have to agree with KPR, with all of the money behind him, and the lure of Champion's league football recently - he should be doing better than he is, and his signings have not been of the quality I'd expect. When Kenny was at blackburn he managed the league title in an extremely short amount of time... starting from League 2.

    Mancini has so much money, he doesn't know who to buy which I think is the main problem.

    Yaya Toure, David Silva and Balotelli are all fantastic Players.

    Sergio Aguero next?

    Quality signings in anyone's book surely

    Ballotelli is a fantastic player.Since when?
    The next thing your going to tell us is that the Bosnian Bobby Zamora aka Edin Dzeko will come good.

    I wouldn't class Balotelli in that list. I'd also say for that money he could have bought Suarez, Tiote, Cahill and Van der Vaart.

    He also bought Jerome Boateng for 10.6m, Kolarov for 19m and Dzecho for 27m. Boateng has since left for Bayern Munich.

    I also hate his style of football, despite the wealth of attacking players at his disposal he insists on using defensive tactics, which for 1, is not nice to watch and 2, ends up in more unnecessary draws. We've all seen that when they play attacking football they do well, unfortunately they resort right back to defensive as soon as they score a goal.

    And Adam Johnson for £8M.

    Kolarov looks like a bum signing, and Dzeko has been awful so far, but I wouldn't put it past him to come good.

    All in all I would say he has done well in the Transfer Market so far.

    Balotelli is a sensational Player, clearly nuts, but major major talent

    Done Well?!

    He's spent 56.6m on flops in 1 season, and 56m on good players. If I was the owner and 50% of my investment was going on flops then I'd be pretty angry.

    (I haven't included Balotelli, because his scoring record is nothing impressive yet but he also can't be counted as a flop).

    Flops? Who has flopped? Only Kolarov really.

    He got his money back on Boateng who was injured all year, and it's early days for Dzeko only been there since January way too early to judge.

    You're wrong, it was Bent with 17 goals, the joint 2nd was Carroll and DJ Campbell with 13. Check the facts.

    As a side note, I wish Spurs had signed him - he's gonna be a quality player.

    Given the right service Andy Carroll is going to be unstoppable.I'm 100% sure that Stewart Downing is the man to provide him with the service he needs.

    Would you like to show me where I have been putting Andy Carroll down?

    I have said that he offers no pace, that he is a massive gamble, and £35M is utterly ridiculous, is that putting him down or stating the bleeding obvious? He has a hammer of a left foot, is fantastic in the air and could be a decent Player.

    But like Dzeko, (not Balotelli as you stated) it is too early to judge him a success or failure.

    I don't rate Mancini and think that if City get the right manager they will become a force so I hope he stays.

    Look at the special one at Chelsea, he was given the money and delivered to some degree, Mancini should be doing better.

    He might do since Berbatov may not play or be sold. But he could end up being an expensive flop. But thanks for posting this crap. Allows us Utd fans to have new signatures.

    Mancini already got a squad most managers would give their right arm for...thats without signing anyone.He plays far too narrow and he plays players out of position.Example against us he played Adam Johnson on the right and he's left footed and Milner on the left when it was obvious Milner prefers to play centrally.Why not play Silva on the right for energy and Johnson on the left as the natural wideman/touch-line hugger.I know some City fans that say that he has got the squad but most of the time his tactics stink.

    We all know Berbaflop has been an expensive flop.£32 million for a striker that can't run...Spurs saw you coming like they did when they sold you Carrick.
