Really hope Nani plays again soon and gets back on form. While I love Valencia, Nani does provide us with more than just crosses since he can make his way into the box and link up with the likes of RVP, Rooney and Kagawa.
You won't be saying that in 10 years time.
And I won't confuse your ignorance of our youth players as thoughtful criticism, so a response is largely unnecessary.
Why Valencia? Nani will play on the left wing.
Mancini never started him, which is why he moved. He needs games.
Obviously. I meant it was a shocking decision to let him go. Mancini can be a stubborn Kant.

Dat oil money...
Edit: Impressive though.
I kind of don't want to see Rooney and Van Persie in the same starting line up. Am I crazy?
Rooney's touch just isn't good enough to be anything other than a striker. Van Persie's is, I suppose, but definitely not his best position (wing, second striker).
I must say. Chelsea are sexual this season.
Title contenders? They impress me more than Man United.

Balotelli can't be relied on not to get himself sent off and cost City games. Dzeko is barely wanted by his own club. United have more than 4 strikers too, youth players and everything. A foreign concept to most City fans.
Loads of bright talent in the City youth.
Rekik, Razak, Suarez (ask Arnie he will tell you how good this kid is), Wabara, Lopes (16 year old tank who played in pre-season).
And City have been granted rank 1 academy status, one of the first clubs to have that. What it means is we can recruit kids from not just the local area at a young age, but all over. Couple that with the Etihad Campus with it's accommodation, educational facilities and 17 or so pitches I think it's safe to say that City will be THE club to develop yourself at as a young player.

I own three apartments on that picture. I've made a killing on them. When this development goes ahead their value is going to skyrocket. Again. Fuck. Yes.
Thanks, City Sheikhs.

Very professional second half. Now hopefully the players can get a rest after playing 3 matches in a week.
Good result. Well chuffed.
In the short term? Yeah. I'd say you're right. But this is a long-term strategy to position City similiar to Barca and slowly inject youth into the side. We never had the resources before to really do this, and the first few years of the Sheik's plan was all about shock and awe and gaining a strong foundation of success. Phase Two begins with the Campus.
What happens if your Sheikh gets bored?
City are fucked.
City are fucked.
Meanwhile, FIGC's judges are checking if Conte remembered to bring an umbrella. He couldn't not know.
Yes. It does this all the time. I think we had 10 / 11 threads last season.
