Rather controversially I always thought he was better than BenarbiaEyal Berkovic.
Then again at one point I was convinced Dunne was better than Terry
So maybe just ignore me

He definitely has a cock noseFor us younger fans (29) what is the story with Andy? Seems a right bell end on sky when covering our games?

For us he was better than Benarbia- but of course he was younger. The two of them were awesome together, still one of my favourite seasonsRather controversially I always thought he was better than Benarbia

That was Nedum's new deal being negotiated, the evidence was saved by the club to get rid of Cook at a later date it seems. Nedum's exit was nothing to do with Cook, just Mancini not playing him, and promoting Boyata above him was the nail in the coffin.Thats saying something wasn't he only at the club a month?
Shocked no one brought up Nedum Onuoha that whole exit cost our CEO his job(and rightly so).

Nedum’s a funny one isn’t he.
Lifelong blue etc and clearly a nice bloke but he goes out of his way to shoehorn bitter digs at the club and Mancini every single time someone puts a microphone near his face.
Mancini was a bit snide to you, we get it, but get over it mate for fuck sake.

A very interesting read. A great insight into how he and his family adapted to what must have been a very alien environment in their move from Nigeria. Not your atypical braindead footballer autobiography ie pisssups, laughs,shagging and end of season capers.On a side note, would you recommend Nedum's book as a good read? I would certainly hope so if it's half as eloquent and erudite as his performance as a pundit.

Maybe I’ve been lucky and caught the only interview he’s ever done where he wasn’t like that.
But the one I’ve seen he couldn’t have been more complementary towards the club and just said he would have loved to have stayed longer but had to leave to get a game.

Yeah i'm the same. The lad is clearly a big blue, i've honestly never experienced him talking ill of the club. Always tends to fight our corner.Maybe I’ve been lucky and caught the only interview he’s ever done where he wasn’t like that.

McGrath would certainly have improved us if we'd signed him instead of Villa, we were linked with him at the time he was leaving united. Gave great service to Villa despite fitness and off field issues.
Don’t know why I’m bothered but I always wonder how he’s getting on when I hear his name mentioned.
He had an awful start to life and didn’t look like he was coping with retirement too well either.
A girl I know who worked in A&E at Wythenshawe hospital told me once years ago that he staggered in there one Sunday morning looking battered and concussed and couldn’t even give them his name.
I vaguely recall him getting nicked back over in Ireland a few years ago for something or other alcohol related.
Such a shame.
Stevie”Superman”Ireland. He was utterly gutted when he went to villa,… as part of the deal that brought Milner to us I think. Anyhow, Ireland used to say that he wanted to stay at City long enough that we would name a stand after him. He was gutted to go, and I think the move destroyed his confidence and he never really recovered the very promising form he showed whilst playing for us. Unfortunate really, as he was a good laugh, mad as a box of frogs, but I kinda liked him.

The situation with Nadum is why if I had ever been good enough to play football I would never have signed for the club I support. Never mix your work with something you love.Nedum’s a funny one isn’t he.

Totally get that the last year or so under Mancini sucked and likely not something he looks back on fondly. However, while Mancini wasn't loved by alot working for the club, I don't think you can argue it wasn't the right call with regards Nedum and Nedum's career likely didn't go as well as he hoped or indeed expected when he was 18..... but you can pretty much say that about the vast majority of successful 18 year old footballers.
