Sinclair's nightmare to be ended by ex employers?

For Scott Sinclair it is fair to say things have not turned out as he might have hoped since his move from Swansea to Manchester City, however ESPN are reporting the Swan's could be ready to hand their former hero an escape rope from his Ethiad dungeon.

When he joined the at the time Champions on a bumper deal Sinclair must have thought he had made it and his dreams had all come true, however his game time has been beyond limited whilst reports have indicated that he was never actually a player on Roberto Mancini's target list just someone who was brought in following one of many failures to sign one of the Italians chosen men.

Further salt will have been rubbed into the wounds when you consider that City have been without David Silva for large chunks of the season, yet even this has not allowed for Sinclair to force his way into the first team picture. You can argue that Sinclair has been taught a lesson like so many in the past that the grass is not always greener on the otherside and he should have known better than to expect to force his way in against the likes of Silva and co, but few have made moves that have turned out quite as disastrous as this.

Sinclair has not become a bad player overnight and undoubtedly there will be strong interest in his services, it is just that he got ideas more than a little bit above his station and given the way he was talked up during his spell at Swansea he shouldn't take all the blame for making a rather poor career move. The wide man no doubt will have wished several times for the clock to be turned back and just maybe he might get his wish.
