While there is no smoke without fire, i would be very selective in what you believe in any of the paper stories. Every journo likes us to think they know all the goings on at City when in reality, if the past 5 months has proven one thing, its that, like most of us they havnt got a clue.
If any of this is the problem that they are making it out to be then why, as the window is now open, are these players not being touted around the football world with a big 'For Sale' sign on their heads?
Im not saying the stories are crap, to be honest there has been a bit too much mud on some players so some of it surely does stick. But if thats the case, then the management should indeed be dealing with it in a professional manner. If they aint fitting in, then this month is the time to move em on.
I for one would not be unhappy with any of the said players leaving the club........ closely followed by the manager if he doesnt sort his own act out in January!
