Hi Brian,
I am lead to believe other city fans have emailed you in regard to the article you published about city ruining the national side, in every email you replied to you dodged the original questions and failed to come even close to answering the questions asked, i have seen all these emails and basically just make you looked stupid don't they?
anyway it's all been said really in their emails about the amount of academy players we have had play in the first team and all the rest, i don't need to state any obvious points or facts your way which have already completely blown you out with the pathetic stupid lazy arcticle,
but why single city out? scared are we because were gonna dominate english football so you thought you would have a pop at us?
would i be right in saying your a spurs fan? ....a team which i can't recall fielding half as many city academy products in the last 5 years,
toure with his £220,000 a week?, which is also nonsense, more garbage, slow news day?
aren't you the same paper that claimed he had his medical in england when he actually had it in spain, and you also said he only made 17 apperance all season when he made over 34?... says it all really.
your a clown, talk garbage, what's your next story gonna be.....david silva on £350,000 a week?
you really haven't got a clue have you?
nuff said.
spot on. but don't hold your breath waiting for a reply from this clown.

Here's the article:
How we are ruining Football and the England team and the future of the game all at the same time! Star man Woolnough warms up his pot of poison for next season
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.dailystar.co.uk/posts/view/143254/Man-City-spending-spree-kicks-England-in-the-teeth?#comments" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.dailystar.co.uk/posts/view/1 ... ?#comments</a>
For one big reason why England fail so consistently at the World Cup and European Championship, look no further than Eastlands.
Manchester City have so far spent more than £60m this summer and all on more foreign imports.
Their outlay could be close to £200m by the time the new season starts.
No doubt City fans are excited and can’t wait for the richest club in the world to open their cheque book again.
Yet this is spending gone mad and to the detriment of the English national team.
After the debacle of South Africa the usual cry went up for the introduction of new English talent. Get some young players in to replace the tired old failures!
Where are they? Pushed to the back of the queue by clubs like City, who, it appears, have no interest in allowing home-grown talent to develop.
Take the deal that has persuaded Ivory Coast’s £25.5m midfielder Yaya Toure to leave Barcelona and head for the Premier League.
He didn’t want to quit Spanish football and even said one day he would like to return to the Nou Camp.
The deal thrown at Toure was just too good to turn down. Not surprising, is it, when you are offered a basic salary of £185,000 a week rising to £221,000.
Let’s get one thing straight here, Toure is not worth that kind of money. He is a good player, that’s all. Not a world-class talent and will certainly not be in the top ten players in English football next season.
So, why have City thrown the Crown Jewels at an okay player? I have no idea.
They have also signed David Silva from Valencia for £24m and Hamburg’s Jerome Boateng for £10.5m. We can only presume these players have only come for the money.
What City are buying are good players to take them to the next level and that is the top four of the Premier League. These are not players to help them win the title.
You wonder how much a week they would pay Fernando Torres or others who are regarded as the best? The mind boggles.
There is nothing wrong with ambition and yet we get it so wrong in this country.
Why can’t we develop our own talent and bring forward English players who might just help us win something in the future. City have got so many players that some will have to be sold.
Micah Richards, who needs guidance, is likely to be discarded and there is not even a guarantee Gareth Barry will get into City’s first choice side.
If you are a young Englishman looking up at City’s first team then your future is cloudy.
Does the game care? Sadly, only a minority.
The fans who turned on England after South Africa will soon be back to where their heart really belongs. Club football.
Ask a City fan what he or she would prefer over the next two years. Their club to win the Premier League with a side packed with foreign players or England to lift the European Championship?
There is only one answer, I’m afraid and it isn’t England.
The FA’s director of football Sir Trevor Brooking had to go cap in hand this week to persuade clubs to allow their Under 19 players to represent their country. How embarrassing is that. Shouldn’t this be compulsory?
English clubs were actually considering withdrawing their young talent from the European Championships tournament that could be vital to the future development of the national side.
Other nations would have encouraged their players of tomorrow to go and take part.
In the past two years Germany have won the European Championships at Under 17, Under 19 and Under 21 levels and that, I’m afraid, tells the story.
We only worry about the national side when tournaments are on top of us. When there is failure the outcry starts and nothing happens. It will be the same in two years’ time and beyond.
After what happened in South Africa, the England team is at rock bottom. We are a laughing stock. How many people care?
City supporters will not mind who wears the shirt next season just as long as they move higher.
Going the other way is the England team.

In all fairness, it wasn't that long ago someone posted on here that City would eventually be blamed for England's failure in teh world Cup (weren't me by the way!) and by golly, Bluemoon is weeks ahead of the news!
All he is doing is generating traffic to their site. As ill thought, untrue and absolutely spiteful as that article is, let it pass. The time will come when every single one of those journos is sucking Garry Cook's c*ck in the way they do the evil empire of the swamp.
The way the journo cycle works is as follows:
1) Something 'good' happens - they denigrate it at the early stages
2) It takes off and becomes successful - they lap it up and eulogise it
3) When it looks as though it's ending - they slate and say 'see, we told you it would end in tears and how it was a crock to begin with'
It's called "Tall Poppy Syndrome".
I said before, I've not bought a newspaper for years as it is all accessible on the web and I felt standards have slipped dramatically.
I read NewsNow, but I use the 'hide publication' option and it is rapidly reaching the stage where the only publication it shows me is the official site!!

why anyone would buy the Star in the first place is beyond me.

I was thinking why would a journalist join the Star, is it because it is a world renowned quality newspaper providing the chance to write incisive quality articles or is it the money he gets paid.
Perhaps they employed him to increase their tit and bum quota.

Where's the mention of Joe Hart and Adam Johnson in that article? After the WC debacle weren't the journo's crying for AJ to have been taken and for HArt to be between the sticks from now on???
The problem with the England team is ego's and arrogance and the fact Fabio didn't play his strongest team in the all three of the warm up matches, instead he experimented... really? just before a national tournament he's still experimenting with the side!!! Surely we should have been getting them to play together as a team!

Going the other way is the England team.
Nani, Vidic, Anderson, Fabio, Berbaflop, Evra, Park, Valencia, Obertan, all recent (or fairly recent) purchases by United, most signed for sizeable fees, and all doing fuck all to assist England. Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are the same, how many academy youngsters have actually made the grade in past seasons? Virtually none. It's not City that are ruining England's chances, it's the Premier League, and Sky. Whilst the amount of money in the Premier League is so vast it will attract the World's best players, it's just that simple.
