Kola - Kola - Kola

[Beefymcfc]

I've got the best song ever:

Kol-arov, Kol-arov, much better than Boj-anov

Simples ;-)

[AlpsMaster]

Excellent news!

Well in Bobby Manc.

Next please!!!

[kennyboy]

How good is the game Football Manager for real scouthing?
I bought Kolarov there for about 3 seasons ago, as he is the best left back on the entire game.
Fun that Mancini can play for real :)

This guy Zapata is mint in central defence, plays for Udinese. Sign please!
Anyone heard of him?

[Lee_R]

Vwery exciting singing this! :)

[Dazzacity]

Well if Roberto wants two top players in every position, he should get another left back. He can then sell Bridge to Liverpool that would have effect of taking money off them ,thereby making them financially weaker and weaker on the field ! Could be a great move for us. bridge and Cole alongside an ageing Gerrard at Liverpool !

Im sure I see an interview after the game last night where Mancini said he wanted two new left backs.. Liverpool will be mugs if they give us anything for Bridge..

[Crossie]

No mate. They asked him if Bridge would be leaving and Mancini said no, because he wanted TWO quality LBs - Kolarov and Bridge - with a view to the task ahead. Garrido will of course be staying to make the tea, to help Silva settle in.

But there is something on this hashed-up squad system that I wonder about - what happens if a side has player with a broken leg, or 10 out injured in various circumstances. Can they replace people before January? Come to that what happens if you buy a new star 1st January? Does the squad system go out the window again until you have to name your squad on 31st?

Great signing.

I've been waiting and praying for us to sign a world class LB, finally we have!

Hoorah!

Colombian NT player, seen him play loads of times (since I'm a Udinese fan in Italy) and he's quality at CB. In the last year or so he has been mostly played out of position (as RB since we didn't have any until Ferronetti came back from his 6-months injury) and has been error prone. Once back in his natural spot he has gone back to usual (high) old standards.

Don't think he coulb be a starting XI player if we want to challenge for the title, but he'll definitively be the first backup for the CBs.

[sweenyuk]

Kolarov looks a bit abll greedy to me :o)

[ruralblue]

Brilliant. I know we shouldn't go on you tube vids but the one posted on the 'free kicks' thread is sublime. He looks fucking good and hard as nails.

[craigmcfc]

Well done City, very good signing. Welcome on board Aleksander

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Great signing, welcome to manchester

[halnone]

How much did he cost us? I've heard 15 mil, then somewhere else I saw he cost us 18 mil, and another source said he cost more.

[kennyboy]

Roberto, can he FUCKING DEFEND THOUGH?!??!?

No he cant really... great going forward douhg...

If we paid 15 or 18 dos it matter halnone?

[halnone]

If we paid 15 or 18 dos it matter halnone?

no it doesn't really matter. I was just a little curious. If it's 15 or 18 it's still a bargain imo.

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

Not really fan of defenders whose prime attributes aren't defensive but hopefully Mancini can mould him into good defender who can also go forward.
