That's not even an article the useless arseclown has just copied and pasted the first few articles of the mirror piece word for word and put his name to it.The cookie monster said:What a c**t this David Lynch isHamann Pineapple said:LoveCity said:The newspapers have had nothing much negative to write about us because we've had a quiet and smooth pre-season. The first chance they get they twist some innocent comments from a decent young lad into a scummy back page to attack City. Rodwell will probably be as appalled as us to read that headline in the morning. And I hope City's PR team are on the phone tomorrow to the Mirror Group...
Do not buy these newspapers who attack our club. The only papers that avoid this phenomenon seem to be The Times and, yes I'm going to say it, MEN, who are making a concerted effort to cover us more positively these days (redcirclegate may have been the turning point).
Right on cue, red circle boy appears

Headlines are designed to suck you in. Could do with a Godfather clip here.

Sorry, the 2nd part of my post wasn't aimed at you.Tim of the Oak said:ColinLee said:Sorry but I don't get that bit, where did we say we'll introduce young players before they're actually good enough?Tim of the Oak said:The media don't focus on the nice stuff because it doesn't sell as many papers. Rodwell / his advisors have been about long enough to know the media would use Jack's lack of game of time against us and the lad was hardly going to remind the press of his injuries.
It is a shame that Jack wasn't fitter because we may never know if he was good enough for our first team. If Jack was fit in the last 12 months then it was too late as we had bought reinforcements (to the point where we could let Barry go out on loan).
That said Our Club is not behind the wall in trying to use the media as evidenced by our misleading "holistic" claims. Hopefully playing the same system through the age groups will help players to develop but we are years away from an homegrown English player getting a run in the team.
And for everyone getting their panties in a twist over this thread try reading the actual article rather than the headline. In fact try a little game called spot the quote, believe me you'll struggle.
Sly ran a similar one where the caption is "Rodwell glad to be out of City" and the headline is "Premier League: Sunderland's Jack Rodwell glad Manchester City career is over". Nowhere in the article does he say any such thing. Media are scum, get over it.
I read the whole article Cin and I wasn't taken in by the headline. However, the priority for Roswell and his people was to get across the message that he wasn't injury prone. Inevitably, this line from the Rodwell's would give the media an open goal to have a pop at us. No surprise there then!
No we won't introduce young English players if they are not good enough and article's like the Mirror push this back further. As a Club, I am afraid we could do better than:
(A) not produce a single homegrown English Ayer in the last 5 years.
(B) Sell our best young prospect of the last decade - Daniel Sturridge - who claims he wanted to leave due to lack of first team opportunies.
(C) Replace Jack Rodwell (who I agree was ready for a move) with Bruno Zuc.
I am loving the trophies and being Champions but anyone taken in by the "holistic" press release needs to go back to school. The new Academy looks great but the current best youth production line in Europe, at Feyenord,barely have two coins to scratch together.
You are very wrong about Danny Sturridge though, he was greedy and was swayed by Chelsea waving a big fat contract at him. As pointed out earlier by someone else he claimed he wanted game time and to play with the best players. At the time Chelsea had the likes of Drogba and Anelka to get past, I wonder how much he leaned on the bench?

Excellent post.gordondaviesmoustache said:Many have focused on the headline, but the writer can probably evade responsibilty for that. That's usually someone else's job.
What that writer cannot escape, however, is the closing two paragraphs of the article:
Rodwell is the latest England star to go backwards at the champions, who face Arsenal in the Community Shield tomorrow.
Winger Adam Johnson, who also moved to Sunderland from City, was previously critical of the chances he got at the Etihad Stadium.
This is how journalists of this ilk work. He has juxtaposed two statements, implying they are connected, whereas in actual fact they are not. The first sentence is a generic statement, with no supporting evidence. The second is a statement of fact, implying it is connected to the first, but it is not. Adam Johnson's career discernibly advanced whilst at City - both in terms of medals and caps. The writer is trying to create the illusion that Johnson's career went backwards at City, because it suits his narrative.
These journalists think they're artisans, but, in actual fact they're just intellectually dishonest con men playing to an intellectually deficient audience. The Arthur Daleys of the written word. Bottom feeders.
Cockroaches.

Typical media again trying to stir stuff up again. It just didn't work out for both parties. The kid was injured for 2 years.
