:lol maybe one day! Who knows.
Felliani can go anywhere BUT United.

Give Mancini one more year. He signed a freaking 6 year contract in the summer.
Fuck you JT.

loooool nope. I thought Marcelo was the best in the world last season, but he's been injured all year. It's Baines this year.
Who is his competition?
Alba? Been pretty good but they can't defend. Alaba? Really good but the defensive weak link in Bayern's back four. Cole's been injured a lot. Clichy's been solid. Evra is Evra. Coentrao's been pretty good but definitely not Baines level.
Clegg, who do you think is then?

I hope that once Hiddink retires this summer that Anzhi go after Mancini. Would go a long way in returning them to their deserved mediocrity.

That's been reported widely here too.
Apparently he also wasn't sure he was good enough.
Think the rumors first popped up about 2-2.5 months ago. Was said to be a done deal then but obviously nothing official. Mancini commented on it in the press since at the time lots of names were being bandied about as replacement possibilities. If I recall, he started the post training questions with "Fucking hell!" or something, lol.
About 2 weeks ago Txiki reportedly met with Pellegrini's agent and again Mancini responded to a question about it but this time he was pretty annoyed.
I saw they kicked you of the cup or something in our paper
it leaked?! omg
Read it earlier and then thought 'another one? really?' So I typed in David Conn is a prick into google to find some evidence that I wasn't making it up, but yeah he's written a lot of negative ones about us... a few about Liverpool as well.
But yeah, Clegg; best LB in the world?
I think around 2010 everyone was good enough to become left back at bayern lol
But I'm glad we got alaba there now.
Yeah, I've been listening to it for five times I guess. It's really good. Pink Rabbits!
If he's replaced then it can't be because of the teams performance on the pitch (i.e trophies won) but Mancini does bring a lot of shit onto himself. He constantly demands more money for transfers, openly slams his own players lowering team moral, and doesn't seem to accept any responsibility always blaming others when things go wrong.
I still can't get over how bad City were in the CL. Not qualifying in such a hard group is understandable but finishing below Ajax in the group and how they performed is not acceptable.
Paolo De Ceglie.
I'm not to sure. Maybe looking at their Youth squad while also looking at the first team.
It shown Moyes in the stands with a few scouts on some Dortmund games.

Lahm is the best LB in the world.
But it's his 2nd position :lol

Ugh, we were dominating the fuck out of them, blew tons of chances and then got Eto'odI saw they kicked you of the cup or something in our paper
how can he be the best if he hasn't play one game in a european tournament for at least 3 years.
I'm not doubting his quality but what makes you think he's the best in the world?
... not really :lol
I dunno, I just think you might be thinking that because he's English, he plays for Everton and his name is Leighton. Like, he's not glamorous like Messi or Ronaldo, but I genuinely don't think there's any better left back in the world than him.
His only competition last year was Marcelo, and he's been injured all year. When Chiellini plays left back there's an argument, but that's not too often.

Lol at Baines being the best LB in the world.
I can't remember anything important but I have a memory like a steel trap for City news.. did some Googling. I was pretty close when I said about 2.5 months ago was the first report. February 22nd was the first story by the Express -- they reported that Chilean TV station, 24Horas.cl had indicated Pellegrini had accepted the job: http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...ally-agrees-to-become-Manchester-City-manager.
Here's the story about his press conference the following day:
Then this last week: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/may/03/roberto-mancini-manchester-city-malaga

Agree.
He potentially could be, or could have been, but he needs to be tested at a higher level.
Lets hope that happens next season
Cole was great last year, been injured this year though.
Eh, true. Baines, Cole, Marcelo and Alba are the only ones I'd consider calling close to top class.
I've been counting Lahm as right back but I guess yeah, he would be if he played there! But for the sake of where they play more often, I'd still pick Baines.
He is a quality player but like Hixx says, its more lack of competition than anything.
Like I said, the only other ones I'd consider top class are Alba (barely), Cole and Marcelo, and those two have been injured for a while. Maybe I'm forgetting a few people, but off the top of my head I can't think of much more.
Why? Baines is better.
Probably just admiring the best team in Germany, given that he's a fan of the league.
If you're the Everton manager you don't scout Dortmund, unless you're looking to take an underused player from their fringe.
Like who, Danny Rose?
That doesn't even make any sense.
This is what he was most likely doing obviously.
Of course Everton aren't capable of signing any major Dortmund player. But now he's managing United, he has the opportunity too.
Danny Rose? what?
Don't think Gundogan's a possibility at all.
Lewandowski is, as we all know, but I think his agent came out recently and suggested that whilst he does want to play in the Premier League, he isn't ready to just yet.
Look at his hair though.
I think to get Gundogan away from Dortmund at the moment you'd have to do something special.
Lewandowski's the most likely to leave in the summer, it's just, like you said whether he wants to.
I agree that the only way you'd extract Gundogan from Dortmund is with a freezer full of cash, which, hilariously, is pretty much the antithesis of David Moyes.
Can't wait for this summer.
what's wrong with his hair?
and no amount of money will persuade dortmund selling their best player.

In isolation it's fine. Compare it to this barnet, however, and we've got a problem.
