I think I have been really patient with this guy. Is he really injured, or are we not playing him so he doesn't get injured and then we transfer him in the summer. Either way, what a waste of space. Who would sign this fucker? What fee would we get for this chocolate fire guard?

I think it's time to be shut of him personally.

Considering the contributions he has made I think he gets a pretty easy ride on here as well. He's done fuxk all for 90% of the season. Get rid.

Just seems like he's spat his dummy out post the CL demotion news.

I have always liked him as a player and he has shown glimmers of hope this season but for good or bad it looks like he's on his way.

His time at City was no different pre Champs league rejection. He is out as he claims to be injured. It is way past his time to move on. Italy is the country where he does have some rating, but no club there will match his wages. He has done well when he has played but does not seem to be able to cope turning up week in, week out.

Football contracts should come with a clause. If you're out sick for a year the club can get rid without having to pay you off.

His fitness is a joke and I hope we get rid.

Is he injured ? I was under the assumption that he is being kept out of the team for speaking out against his exclusion in CL.

I feel he can be a really good player in the future, given his age loaning out for an year might just do him and us a lot good.

does it matter much?

he's likely gone it seems, unless we are missing something.

shame.

given his age? future? He turns 26 in November. He is not a youngster.

What's injured is his ego.

Even if measured by shirtless selfies on instagram btw.

cheers

The guys a waste of a spot in the squad , having said that , Pellegrini was an ubber cunt for dropping him from the CL squad, especially seeing as it was his goals that got us to the next stage (Just as bad as Mancini dropping Panti for Flapalot in the FA cup). ......not surprised he developed an attitude after that.

Chances are he wouldn't have been fit for the two barcelona games anyway; it feels like he's been in the treatment room 80% of the time he's been here.

Don't see a problem there myself.

It's a shame really because I think he is a very good player indeed but if he can't play, we need to sell him and fill his place with someone who can.

It's probably an injury of convenience. If he played & we lost, he would get the blame & if he got a broken leg or knee injury, we would lose the transfer fee which seems inevitable in the summer. Not in his, or our interests for him to play.

I think Mancini is trying to get him for nothing.

don't understand the hate personally. suspect he's not injured at the moment but is just being kept on ice pending a transfer. in spite of some truly horrid mismanagement by pelle this season, he's never spoken ill of the club, seems a likeable bloke, and has always put in a shift when played. compare and contrast to cunts like rodders, AJ, and boateng.

I like him, he started this season well, there is a top class player in him, hope we sell abroad and not liverpool like he was linked on saturday.

You are right, he is not really young, I like the way he plays wish could see him playing for city more.
Would feel terrible if he plays well in the next team he moves to.

As long as its outside England and/or not against City I don't mind if he becomes the worlds best player.
It just didn't work out for him here

He is probably not injured in the way Zabba or Milner are injured. They would both play if 60/70% fit. Jojo seems to duck out of games if he is not 100%. But for him, maybe not being the 100% means he does fuck all and it's better to not pick him! whereas a 80% Zabba or Milner still puts a shift in.

Is a shame as I like him and I think in a different system he could have been a great player for us. Sadly it appears his time with us had run it's course and if it has I wish him well at his new club. Unless it's the dippers

A little birdy told me that the tears from Jov's face fell from his cheek to his little toe after Txiki told him he was out of the CL squad. Resulted in severe spinal damage (from tear drop) and serious nervous disposition (rejection from Txiki).

I'll align my opinion with ODub. If his biggest fan gives up on him, then I will too.

A shame as he does offer some directness and is willing to beat a player more often than others.
