Not necessarily him but that sort of player. We miss Vinnie tremendously when he's out too- not just his footballing talent but his commanding captain attitude.

Been crying out for him for the past two years. He would make our team so much better. He would free up room for Silva and Aguero to work, and would also bring out the best of Dzeko. Cavani and Falcao are the shiny new things, but they won't make us a better team the way Bale would. Oh and he's got EPL experience! No "settling in" period. Praying we go after him this summer.

Your comment of feeling happy is absolutely appalling for a City fan. I know for sure I felt horrible after the game. Strange comment, as he is our top scorer at this moment!

He is what we needed this season,pace out wide, a player who can defend and attack with bundles of pace, strength and wonderful delivery. We never cross the ball, our build up play is far too slow and we have no width. Mancini has been found out with his boring keep ball Italian tactics. The system is flawed adn easy for organised teams to defend against. Too many draws this season where we kept the ball virtually all game and failed to score. It is not the players fault either, the tinkering with the formation and our back line damaged us in the Champions League and has damaged us in the League. We drew our way out of contention in this title a long time ago. The loss at the weekend shows a low morale in the squad and the manager is the one to blame. Credit to Bobby Manc for delivering the title last season, but in reality with the squad and the funding at his disposal I think any first rate manager would be able to do the same. Bring on Viera or Mourinho? Sell Nasri and make a bid for Bale.
