Bluebeer said:blueonblue, time and time again you feel its your right to speak on behalf of the youth team at city, always claiming that hughes dosnt give a fook about the youth set up, youth team players hate him etc and once again jumped on a thread about sturridge to say hughes hasnt made an effort to keep him......seriously now.....why do you feel like you have enough facts to speak on behalf of the youth team? and why do you believe what your saying is true??
you say hughes ducked out of meetings with sturridge, you say hughes dosnt give a shit, that hes never been to watch the youth team (although eye witness's say otherwise)....so come on, own up, how the fuck would you know?
you say all the bad press has come from hughes side and he hasnt distanced himself from any of it.....but on a louder note STURRIDGE HASNT COME OUT TO SAY HES NOT DEMANDING 65K A WEEK AND THE REPORTS ARE FALSE, HAS HE?!
if you ask me the young players need discipline, and many today have huge egos and need to be put in their place.....if we were to give sturridge this major contract...that means hes got his way....which will lead to more arrogance on his part....wanting this and wanting that...if someone needs to be made an example of so the youth team get the mesage.....then so be it. otherwise whats next?, Wiess coming to us for 65k a week, Robbie mak asking for 30k for playing in the reserves!
Well said BB. There is some garbage being posted on this subject.
All this Hughes doesnt care about the Youth team or academy graduates. How many games have Evans and Sturridge been in or round the team this year. The rest of the kids aren't ready yet. Maybe next season Weiss will be ready to step up - but he will need to spend a couple of months on loan first before he is ready for the physical side of the premiership. As for the others, there is no chance Mee could be trusted to make a premiership start. They need to go out on loan first.
Maybe Hughes doesnt fancy Sturridge. If I was in his position I would feel the same. He has been unfit for about 70% of the past 3 seasons. We have given big contracts to Johnson and Richards in the last 12 months, and neither has given value for money since the contracts were signed.
I'm sure Sturridge has offers on the table from Villa and Chelsea. Good luck to him, let see how many starts he will get at those clubs. I doubt he will come back to haunt us.
