Re: The end of Superman...
Totally. Now that we're the richest club in the world and can blow anyone out of the water for any player we want, why should we be even remotely sentimental about someone who's been at City since he's 13 years old and has played countless first team performances. Fuck that. In fact, lets shut the academy down. We don't fucking need it. Academies are for the poor no mark clubs like Villa and Neverton who will never have our wealth and the ability to pop into Europe and by the best of the best, cream of the crop, etc.

No problem with this policy or none policy!
'Arry can try and manipulate the media to get something for nowt but Shay's situation will show how we perceive our major threats. Do you actually believe that he will go to the Arse or Rags if that was the options available or would he go on loan to the Green Hoops?

That's never been our policy, afaik.
It's just how some people saw us refusing to bend over for Spurs and Bellamy.
I'd rather think we treat people exactly as they treat us.

^ This! It's got to be wasting resources. Better instead to invest money in better scouting.

Re: The end of Superman...
You really all are a bunch of absolute muppets. Generalisation, vagueness, ambiguity. Talk about an absolute load of shite.
How many full games did Ireland play last season? How many games did he start under Mancini? How many games did he come off the bench? What type of games were they? What different positions did we play him? How many of those appearances did he play in his best position?
These are questions some of you should ask yourself before spouting out some general shite about Ireland has had one good season, thanks for the one great season stevie. No one is doubting last season he didnt perform as well as the season before. However, if some of you think it's because of a sudden loss of ability and not down to other contextual reasons, then you clearly know nothing about football. I back Mancini. We move on. It's a fresh start for Ireland. But make no mistake, there is no doubt if he plays regularly, in a position which suits him, which he likely will at Villa, then he will absolutely rediscover the form he showed during the great season with us. I accept there are reasons why he may no longer fit into our plans. Thats a fair argument. But the shite coming from some of you about good riddance, over rated etc, is clear proof you have not watched Ireland play for City in the flesh at all.
Add to that, where are you people in relation to SWP? I don't recall him having recently during last season, got anywhere near the form he showed before moving to Chelsea. Should we sell him?

Re: The end of Superman...
Agreed totally much as I loved Superman and it's a shame to see an academy product go I would ask this simple question before the start of 08-09 Ireland was on his way to Sunderland Hughes stopped the deal how many thought why??? quite a lot of blues I knew questioned the wisdom as Ireland was either brilliant or utter dross...then he had THAT season and was rightly player of the year come last season the old Ireland was back it was obvious something wasn't right even when he played in his favourite position he looked well off the pace. What we have got in Milner is a more consistant player who even when he has an off day still puts in a decent shift for the team despite paying over the odds we have got the better player IMO.Polari said:Best move for the club and the player. It's clear he's not in the right place mentally at the moment and his opportunities here would be limited. Hopefully he can build his confidence at Villa.

Re: The end of Superman...
Not sure you have made them clear you see.
Joined Villa talk yet? ;-)
No one would have been happier than I if he had gone on to greatness with us, I even attended each game with lucky superman y fronts that were not comfy in homage to him.
But things happen, we move on and ad a grown bloke, I see no benefit in getting all teary. But then again, I haven't just lost my celeb mate have I.

Re: The end of Superman...
I suspect it's more to do with us identifying Milner as an important addition that wasn't likely to come off without Ireland going the other way.NQblue said:Does this mean we don't consider Villa as a main threat then as our policy is not to sell our assets to title competing teams?
