yes, i wan the Black Bulldozer to hack down rooney and young

Is Adam Johnson is unwanted at Man City?

Sebastian Coatessssssssssssssssssss

He's not a regular starter..

gets injured easily like Aurelio

Here's to a discussion about the idea of Benayoun (aka King Benny) and to a lesser extent; Maxi Rodriquez and Joe Cole, which we'll continue with the idea of wingers.

We all knew that Benny left for a 'greener pasture' where not only he was paid more but he could actually play. Unfortunately for him, after his move he never played past 1 minute bar that "exhibition match" where the entire Chelsea team was trying so hard to make or in a way, help Torres score in that match.

The one thing that buggered me was that how Maxi would be used. It was without doubt that Maxi was brought in as a replacement, albeit that I had the hunch that Benny and Maxi would have been playing down both flanks to cover our ex-targetman Torres. However, having a team built around one individual can have negative consequences, unless you have another striker that can notch up and take advantage of "the unknown probability" where opponents still have no idea how to mark the formation and players and how that striker would fit in for the particular game.

So back to our discussion, I don't see Benny coming back, but how about Maxi? Would he go out? How about Joe Cole then?

One thing that I am quite sure of, (if I am wrong my apologies) is that Joe Cole is one hell of a trick-pony but isn't the type of winger-forward that at the moment fits in to our line up that is heavily favoured around Carroll (though it beats me how Caroll isn't fit into the system yet, when our boss in theory got it right how to play our forward man [I still remember his articles for The Guardian's Kenny's chalkboards session] where he figured out how Andy Caroll could be played against opposition and apparently somebody listened, resulting in Newcastle having 3 a goal fest against us]). But despite that I'll say Maxi under-achieved of what he potentially he could. But I will offer him credits for his determination and that 'one-final-push' mentality, and besides he's turning into an impact sub which I think he also sees it that way, and doesn't sulk. (Though you can see his frustrations when he can't get his effort past the goal post)

And for that reason alone I believe our gaffer would keep him over Joe Cole. I believe that all these 3 players are in the same mould, and they won't fit if we insit on building a team around Caroll.
