I don’t want Mancini. No thanks. I’d rather keep Keita.

Mancini is a diva like Fred. I don’t want more bad personalities.

Keita did have a poor season. He always looked good but his finishing was not anywhere near the level for a top team in eroupe. Maybe he is just settling in and needs another season.
Mancini is not that bad. He scored double what Keita did and thats including 2 CL goals. He is pretty creative as well and has a great touch, also as far as dribbling remember what he did to us. But he is not as physical as Keita. I would’nt mind if they did that sort of deal, but really Keita has got alot of potential. So he should probably stick around.

Btw Inara, there have been some changes in roof design of OL Land as of 28 May. It looks like it’s intended to save costs due to high steel prices recently. As a result, at least to me, the new roof design is worse than the previous one(I’m not sure you’d feel the same way)

Keita was only purchased last summer, and while he didn’t have a great first half of the season, following african cup of nations, he was on fire. his dribbling and play may be selfish at times (as is ben arfa’s), but he has huge potential.

and why do we want Mancini?

Because I think he is simply not good enough for the team.
Because his dribble times are awful, Ben Arfa is a genius compared to him.
Because when he is on the pitch, I don’t see anything really positive coming from his presence. He should have received several red cards this year, not counting the insults to other players.
Because since the beginning he always claimed that his goal is to play in a better club than Lyon. And never showed any attachment.
Because he cost us a lot of money, and that I think we should sell him before he loses all his selling value.

And I have many other reasons why I hope Keita will be sold this summer.

If Roma want Grosso, I propose a Grosso + 5m exchange with Mancini.
With Keita leaving (I hope) we would have a versatile player who can play as a LB back when needed.

Article about Wengers wage problem signing Nasri:

But that has not happened and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is resigned to waiting until the 20-year-old returns from international duty before the deal can be finalised.

“Nasri interests me,” stressed Wenger, “I hope I will do it [complete the signing] after the Euros. It is more complicated now because the wage differences [between the Premier League and Ligue 1] are not as big as they used to be.

“Just look at Karim Benzema. He is 20 and recently signed a new deal with Lyon.”

Hmm, even to my jaded eye, a glimmer of hope for ligue 1 keeping talents??? Lyon beating AC to Lloris, surely not!!
