“It might still be early days in Michael Mele’s Man City career but things are looking rosy for the current manager.

With Mele having masterminded his Citizens side to eleven victories over the past fifteen games, it won’t take long before fans and pundits alike begin to jump on the Man City bandwagon.”
Sitting 5th after 7 games. Still early, but not bad!

Woohoo! Jo ended his drought by grabbing a nice brace to win us a match (after going down 1-0 in the 9th) against Standard Liege in the EC. (Both goals off headers)
He scored at 45′+ and 90′.
The boy likes to keep me in suspense…

Oh, and Elano is playing pure garbage too(regularly acheiving 5.0-6.1, but more often around the 5.8 area, and no better, half and full-time ratings), with the same “motivation” issues. Milan are pretty interested, I want to sell him, but I know the fans would find that to be along the lines of blasphemy, so that’s another dilemma…

Btw, how much did the Pog cost? Not like money is an issue thanks to my Arab Oil kings, but y’know, so I can plan ahead =P

I’ve got the same problems with my strikers.
Apparently they can’t motivate themselves to play for a manager of my stature… That makes me feel good.
Robinho has been next to useless, Jo had a goal drought for about 500 consecutive minutes, and finally broke through with a brace, and then went back to being useless. Before this one of my big purchases was Andrey Arshavin, who for about a month was useless, but I guess that’s to be expected when you transfer from Russia to Citeh… After that he started bagging goals left and right. If you ever have a spare 25m around, Arshavin is one to pick up!
So back to Robinho… He isn’t seeming to gel with the squad, regularly gets ratings between 5.1-6.9, rarely having a 7.0+ game. He’s worth 60+ million euros, and I’m thinking of just dumping him for as much as possible in the January window and going on a shopping spree for some more motivated strikers. Good idea?

Yeah, he would, but the idea of a loan is that the player makes an impact in the short term. I’m a big fan of Altidore in real life, but he was just awful every time he played so figured the best thing was to ship him back to Villarreal.

and an American no less. He’d need much more time to settle than a half a season.

Jozey Altidore loan terminated and sent back to Villarreal (for general rubbishness)???

The boy is only 19 years old man…
