Jo

Can see what the big rush to get rid! the guys only young, we dont need the money so why not wait and see if he develops over the next couple of years!

Agree. Its whether he wants to do that or not. The last thing the club needs is another fucker disrupting the dressing room. He did do that interview about how he felt about us when he was at Everton. Think he could develop but when he came he was THE big signing. It all changed for him when the take over happened.

Why loan him to a side we are competing with - same goes for Everton. We are just funding and supporting opposition team building if we do that - absolutely no upside for us.

Might as well just take a big hit on his fee - no way he was worth the £19 million we paid anyway.

PArt ex Jo and Elano plus a pile of cash for Ibrahimovic at inter they have an interest in both players.

19m was a something to do with thaskin wanting to look like he meant buisness. We have paid about 7m, alot was to do with performace related payments so if he doesnt play we dont pay.

Its a really stupid idea though we are helping out sides around us and getting nothing out of it at all. Just running down hois contract so we get even less for him whilst massively helping out skint opposition.

The way to go is sell or trade him if hes got no future at city.

Look at Chelsea loaning players out. ALWAYS ends up with the owner club getting shafted we dont want to play that game.

Either he stays and fights for his place or he is fucked off no other way.

The problem is if we try to sell him or trade him on the form he showed at us we will get no where near what we paid. If he is as good at Fulham as he was at Everton we might be able to get a decent price for him and we are also not paying his wages while he is under our contract.

Lol he'd be playing in Europa league when our players aren't. Good luck to him he's had dogs abuse from most city fans from the word go.

Could he play in Europe for Fulham or would he not be cup-tied?

exactly, we dont need to get rid of players like him so why should we, ok yeah get rid of players like mills vassell hamann etc. but not young players that we could benfit from in the future.

Loaning expensive players out it completely shit for the club that owns the player. Like I said it has no benefit at all for us and helps out teams around us big time. Just look at what has happened in the past at Chelsea with SHeva, Crespo etc. They got raped when they loaned them out plain and simple. They lost every penny on those players do you want that to happen to CIty with Jo ?

If we loan him out for another season that means we have had used up 2 years of a 5 years contract getting no benefit ourselves and helping out teams we are competing against. Runs his contract down and worth less money to us as a consequence.

Surely no one can think that is a good deal for us ?

For me I would rather stick him on the bench. Vassel is out of contract and will be released, Sturridge wants to leave or wont except a reasonable contract. Benjani and Evans are not good enough for a top 6 side and will probably be sold. So that leaves us with Bellend, Jo, Caciedo and Boj at the moment. Boj might never be back to the same level; even if we sign 2 forwards in the window that would be about right with jo, and caceido young and inexperienced and Bojs injury record, we would only have 3 experienced front line forwards.

Part of the squad and see if he can make the grade or sell or trade him, loaning out players like Jo is a bad move for us which ever way you look at it.

i think it will be good for JO to get Uefa cup games under his belt for when we get into the champions league next season!

 

[Danish Blue]

he is young and talented, he didnt set the world alight in his handful of appearances so far but we have 18 million invested in the guy, it would make no sense on any level to chuck him out now.

exactly coz we would lose about 10 million on him!

Rumour on news now that he is off to fulham on loan (or at least hodgson wants to try and sign him on a year long loan).....might be a good move for the lad

Jo going to Fulham with Hangeland coming here in exchange would be fine with me.

Roy Hodgson would tell us where to stick that offer.
