He says he would take Adam Johnson because he is a local lad but wonder if he knows Johnson actually supports Newcastle!

 

[Manci7y]

Connor is hoping to b back for this game and can cause problems especially is kolo is picked..

 

[Salut Charlie]

And thanks to Ric for reciprocating for Salut! Sunderland. His replies to our questions are here ..

I'm really Colin not Charlie but since I kept calling Ric Nic in our emails, I cannot complain.

ps I was surprised by two of my pal Pete's replies on behalf of Salut! Sunderland - the failure to mention our glaring need for a striker (proven, not promising kids or on loan from Arsenal) and hailing a Newcastle fan as someone we could do with partly because he's a "local lad" . There again, I'd take Adam Johnson despite it, and trust him to be professional enough to rise above his allegiance.

If he could have any of our players he would have AJ because he is from the North East? Without wanting to sound too disrespectful, what a bell.

 

[MadchesterCity]

If he could have any of our players he would have AJ because he is from the North East? Without wanting to sound too disrespectful, what a bell.

I actually thought, fair play to the fella!

I thought all AJ's family were mackems?

Leaving aside the fact that "without wanting to sound too disrespectful" is Britspeak for "I am about to be very disrespectful", this is a spectacular case of taking a comment out of context. The Q&A went like this:

Q: If you could have any City player in your team who would you choose?

A: What a bloody awful question!!! I would take any one of them. Balotelli because life would be fun with him in the team, Silva because he is almost the perfect player, Kompany because he is such a composed defender, Yaya Toure because he is the nearest thing I have seen to the proverbial brick outhouse. If you pushed me, I would go for Adam Johnson because he is a local lad.

That he is also a damn fine player can surely be taken as read ...
