Phew

To be fair that's nothing new Rocket! With ACON & flights I'll allow him to be a bit leggy this time, if we're plain sailing next week though I'd sub him as early as possible, whether that actually happens or not is another story...

I just wish Mancini didn't feel he was compulsory in the lineup for every minute! A rare criticism of Bobby...

So did I, thought while he was at ACON the other players would prove that we can play without Yaya being on the pitch for 90mins every game, but as it turned out...

We need a winger, another out ball option on the break. Pace isnt our forte, Johnson, Nasri and Milner dont offer the pace of Yaya or Richards sadly

Wouldn't suprise me if Johnson goes in the summer too - Mancini has given him oppertunity after oppertunity, and unless he is happy being a substitute (a decent player to have on the bench mind) then I think he will move on in search of first team football - if Dalglish is still at Liverpool then we could sell him on for a good 20-30m given that he is young and English.

If he does leave then that will open the door for us to buy a winger.

Bah, we have room for more than one winger

AJ - I've met the guy, he's the same off the pitch, a bit of a diva and very much "look at me". The main reason he is keeping schtum at the moment is because City is the biggest stage he can showcase himself on for the time being.

I'd be happy for him to stay at the club, he's a good option to have on the bench, but I get the impression that he thinks he's 'bigger' than that. If he left I wouldn't shed a tear and we'd probably get a tidy sum for him.

After watching him for 2 years now I don't think he'll ever become a regular starter for us, bar cup games and the like.

25 now, not a kid is he?

Why do I always think he's about 20?! Yeah if he stays, good squad player, if he leaves, should get a good fee - either way you're right we could do with a new winger.

He's perfect for Liverpool! £20m

MOTD fodder, our Jonno.
