Where did I say I'm pissed numknuts? I'm making a point that any promising youngster that leaves us and shows a modicum of form elsewhere is lauded as the second coming of George Best/Maradona combined. While they're still here nobody cares.

As for Sancho he was lauded as the next nailed on superstar when he was still with us. Everybody wanted him, he signed for us then went all Billy big bollocks, an attitude he has continued to show since he left us. His every move, goal and assist at Dortmund was highlighted and elevated him to superstar standard. The waistcoat being a yes man then fast tracked him into the England team. Not long afterwards and after his transfer to the rags his star faded and died to the point he can't warm the rags bench these days.

Same with Palmer. He was more advanced than Sancho here, he was around the first team squad and had one or two decent cameo appearances. You could see the lad had talent but like all young players it's hit and miss they make it to the next level. Then Sancho like he's demanding more playing time etcetera. That isn't going to happen here no matter who you are. He starts sulking so goes to Chelsea. Now, again like Sancho, after one or two half decent performances and scoring a few penalties, he's fast tracked to the England team and we've made another big mistake according to the anti City media. Time will tell but it's not a mistake if he does become a superstar, we don't keep sulking players.

Is that all clearer for you?

Spitty is just a troll, I turn the volume off when the whiny prick is on. For the game on Sunday I turned down the telly volume and listened on the City site. Needed to play about with pause to get the picture in synch with the sound but well worth it. Alastair Mann and Andy Morrison.

If that’s a direct quote from Andros Townsend there’s not a chance that he came up with the phrase “implement a buy back clause” by himself.

Some BBC fanny will have written it down for him and told him to shoehorn it into the conversation

Andros who?????
 
Wasn’t sure where to ask this question so apologies if it is in wrong place. When is the treble documentary coming out?

Being of a slightly older vintage I used to love the season review dvds and I’m gutted we don’t do them anymore!!

Had one of the red teams won it, it would have been on the BBC within days. As they didn't it's anyone's guess!

Our in house team have apparently flogged it to Netflix or Amazon. So that’s me not going to be able to watch it until it comes out on pirate video (tinterweb)
Im pretty sure it will be a thing of beauty with a very happy ending though!!!

Yes didn't they or one of the other mainstream channels even make a documentary about Liverpool winning the title after thirty years? What a joke.
 
When SWP was transferred to Chelsea it was reported by City insiders that he was in tears but he had to go to save City from bankruptcy. When Allison sold Gary Owen in the 70's he left in tears, his dad himself told me that.
That is the sort of feelings that I want from our graduates, not the first pumping that some ex-players may resort to. I want our players to be with us because the club means so much to them, I don't want them just to use us as a stepping stone to personal glory, something where our development teams and match paying supporters see their work and their money going to waste.

Like Sancho nobody outside of City gave a fuck about Palmer while he was here. As soon as he leaves he's world class, picked for England and proving Pep wrong.

my memory isn't great these days but I think with sancho we offered to make him the highest paid academy player in are history but he'd already been tapped up by dortmund .So We went out and bought Mahrez and when he started to play well ( sancho) we had full shows on talk radio dedicated to sancho.was this peps biggest mistake as a manager?? If only pep hadn't signed Mahrez sancho would of stayed ?? etc. Think the saying is why let the truth get in the way of a good story

No it wasn't. Sancho thought he knew better than Pep and he defied him. Trainees (especially those who had no birthright feelings to Manchester) cannot run the game against the Manager's programme and that is the same in any business and anyone who does so is soon out. So Dortmund enticed him and off he went, but remember German football is these days inferior to the EPL. Meanwhile, Mahrez has been a roaring success for club and himself. I'm surprised that someone could still be asking the question especially as Sancho is virtually a broken wreck since his return.
