I'm not sure what other City fans feel towards this deal (not read the thread) and I know he is obviously past his best, but it is incredible to see him in a City training kit with the rest of our players. What a player to have around the club, he is a role model for all kids. He was given a lot of stick as a youngster at West Ham. Many believed 'Arry picked him on their relationship rather than his ability. It is safe to say he has proved everyone wrong. Doesn't get enough credit in my opinion because he has been a top pro on and off the field. Will be able to lead the side in games where we need a bit of experience. He has won the CL, UEFA Cup, Prem, FA Cup, League Cup and has scored and assisted consistantly well over the last decade. Whilst we have a lot of experience in our side, we can only benefit from having Frank at the club whether he plays often or not. I hope we manage to tie in some sort of coaching agreement post his stint at NYCFC. Would be great to have another renowned player to the level of Vieira.
Clearly the need for Englishmen helped push this through, Xavi would be a cracking loan signing otherwise! Could throw the EDS out in the League Cup with Xavi and Lampard in the middle... wow!
