De Jong have to transfer, he is not valuable at this moment. It is a player with a lot of ristrictions. I think, this years is for mancini important, other wise he will leave the club. Hope the best for your poor history. Hope the most for your long supporting supporters for more than 40 years, they deserve this, the title! or a title. You see money is not the garantee of succes. How is the youth of MC? If you have a educated youth plans for the future?
Thanks for the words of support, mate. To halfway-answer your question at the end, there... (I'm sure one of our more insightful fans will answe it fully...) Manchester City have a fantastic youth system and have had one for a long time now. We have some promising young talent rising through the ranks and they are learning to play football the way our first team does.
As far as the Europa League is concerned, when I look at it without thinking, then I don't care about it. But then I realise that a trophy is a trophy is a trophy... is a trophy.
The idea that it's not important is an idea that has come from clubs who see no financial value in the competition. I've merely adopted these views. So I'd like to see City win it, simply because winners win things.
PS - We won my favourite cup last year. If we get the league, I can die happy. But yeah, win everything City... win it as much as you can, as much as possible.
