RlCO 0 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I see one of Svens big summer buys (£9m) Bianchi, is off to Lazio because he hates England. Maybe Fat Sam had an idea about player profiling after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 According to the beeb he said: "I want to thank the City fans from the bottom of my heart. "They have welcomed me with open arms and made me feel like one of them. I will take in my heart their passion and their attachment to the team. "I would also like to thank Mr Thaksin Shinawatra, his family and all the people at the club for giving me the possibility to play in a beautiful and riveting tournament such as the Premier League." Sounds like he hates England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bianchi also complained about the English lifestyle, and boss Sven-Goran Eriksson agreed he could leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 So, basically he struggled to settle here. Either way, I think Sven's allowed a flop. Allardyce's 'profiling' did him a lot of good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooth Operator 10 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Tbf you can't call him a flop he just didn't settle. A flop is a Marcelino for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Did this extent to psychological profiling btw? For Barton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RlCO 0 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) Tbf you can't call him a flop he just didn't settle. A flop is a Marcelino for example. But you can debunk the platitudes that were dolled out to Sven at the start of the season for assembling a squad in double quick time. BSA would have been slaughtered if a £9m foreign import wanted to leave after a few months. Edited January 24, 2008 by RlCO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff about City was OTT at the start of the season though, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big TRon 0 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 It's a bit daft to write off a manager because one of his signings didn't work out. I would think City are a good bet for Europe this season and they would have taken that for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd also have one more point than they had got in the whole of last season. That's progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think City are a good bet for Europe this season and they would have taken that for starters. A £9m signing. People laughed their tits off at Boumsong. All this is coming out of the corrupt Thai's bottom line, I don't think scraping Europe and bombing out to Atletico Plumbers Union will be worth what Sven will have entually spent at this rate. Although I heard some fools were willing to offer a daft amount for their 19 year old centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get off the ganja. So a £9 million signing didn't work out in England. It's not like it's never happened before. And considering where City were last year I don't think their fans will be turning their noses up at "scraping Europe and bombing out to Atletico Plumbers' Union" as opposed to "getting relegated and bombing out to Plymouth Argyle." Is this just bitterness because Sven's done at City - at least in the short run - what we hoped Fat Sam would do with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
