Would fit in well with our squad then. Be one hell of a Christmas party, none of them will be able to drink as they'll all be on painkillers.![]()
Just makes the drinks better.

I'd be sad to see him go. There's a player there but he needs the right environment and we're clearly not it. But then neither were Fenerbahce so who knows
Bit like Markovic, or Ben Arfa, there's only so much you can coddle and accomodate players like that before you say that if they're not up to standard it's a them issue not a club issue.
Weird to put Markovic and Ben Arfa in the same sentence. Markovic was very good for us in his short spell here
He was, and everywhere else he has been..?
I wasn't talking specific to City, I was using examples of two players who have played for City but have bounced around a lot of clubs because of attitude issues.
Silva is an exceptional manager at getting those sorts of players firing, look at Willian for Fulham now after a couple of poor years.

Shocked to be sitting here.
Been a few reports recently of him being unsettled and as the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire.
Silva is just an outstanding manager. He's definitely a top 6/8 manager, he has just knackered himself in the past by being a mercenary. I hope he stays at Fulham and builds something there
I agree, he jumped before he could walk. He may well have been better off staying with City and gaining more experience of the English game, than going to Watford who are renowned for having little patience when it comes to managers. Though Everton at the time turned his head again which proved to also be ill-fated.
Pretty hard to criticise his decision making in terms of where he is and we are IMHO.
Right manager at the wrong time under the wrong circumstances under bad ownership.
Who knows where we would be if he stayed? I appreciate that Ehab Allam at this stage was in his penny-pinching mode, but one might hope if Marco had stayed and they saw a chance of getting back to the EPL, maybe things might have been different, but there again maybe not.
Easy to forget we did actually splash a lot of cash that summer, it just happened to be spent really awfully.
That was the summer prior to Marco arriving, mainly Ryan Mason who of course was injured in the same month of January when Marco arrived.
