Paper talk? If he's been told he can leave, surely Vlad would have come on earlier instead of Shauny today?

Liverpool leading chase to sign Manchester City midfelder Shaun Wright-Phillips - report
7 Aug 2010 23:54:00

Liverpool seem to be beating Arsenal in the race to sign Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips, according to the Mirror.

Wright-Phillips is believed to have been told he can leave the City of Manchester stadium for a fee of around £7 million.

However Arsenal are thought to be unwilling to pay the £65,000-a-week wages he earns and now this has opened the door for Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson to make his move.

Hodgson is confident of signing Wright- Phillips after already persuading his former Chelsea team mate Joe Cole to join the Merseyside club ahead of the Emirates.

Wright-Phillips has already turned down City’s offer of a £10,000-a-week wage increase he was offered at the end of last season and his place has recently come under threat since the arrival of David Silva from Valencia and the imminent arrival of James Milner from Aston Villa.
 
He's been impressive this pre-season, so i hope he stays. Wouldn't get in my starting 11, but a great option off the bench when opposition legs are tired.
 
Well Ireland and Nedum are definately gone it would seem. Bellamy almost certain according to the reports.

Are we really going to get rid of all our established, proven settled english players. I dont know I hope not.

I would not consider Nedum proven, or settled as an EPL starting 11 player at the quality we desire and after the way Ireland played last year, he could easily be put into the same boat. Nedum, quite frankly, has zero chance of ever seeing the pitch in a City shirt with the players that have been recently added. I wish him the best in where ever he ends up.

I think 'settled English Premier League players' would have been a better choice. Bellamy and Ireland won't thank you for calling them English.

That pedantic nonsense aside, good luck to them all. I have loved Bellamy for City, Ireland was good a times and Nedum needs 1st team football. I don't think any of them will start every game this season, and I'm not sure if they'd want to bench warm. Mancini certainly has some headaches this season, and it'll be interesting to see if he can keep everyone happy.
