Sweep never saved us off the pitch really, Abramovich did. It was him who parted with the cash, when deep down Ali Mack said to us in a bar, we would of sold him for less, and that Mourinho didnt even want him.
*shudder* I'd tried to blank Mr. Mackintosh out of my memory.
Yeah he would have paid us the same money for Crooks or Flood, nowt to do with SWP being the best right winger in the country at the time.
He could have stayed, but where would we be now?

1) He is the best of a poor bunch of players who have made the first team.
2) He did not leave the club to save City he left to further his career.
3) People continually knock Pearce but he didn't have the option to sign someone for £3.8 mil let alone £38.00 mil
4) Sweep is a smashing lad and is easy to love due to his diminutive stature.
5) No City Manager has ever had the guts to play him in his proper position which in my opinion is in the hole behind the strikers. He has incredible balance and a phenomenal shot but is wasted as a wide player where he looses the ball far too often.
6) At his best he played alongside some very ordinary players. We have moved on from Goater, Huckerby and Samaras all of whom played a part in our rise back. Sorry that is underplaying Goater's contribution as he was massive but we have to be honest with ourselves don't we?
7) Sweep is one of my favourite players but sorry but he has no place in our future.
When did he play in the same side as Samaras? Typical of the knockers not knowing their stuff.
City wanted him to go as we needed the money.

When did I say he played with Samaras? Sentiment plays no part in building a squad. He has done a fantastic job for us over many years but Sweep's time has been and gone. Nobody here is trying to have a go at him but we have moved on just accept it and let's be realistic.
Don't act like you're making a statement from an irrefutable position of fact then. Your tone of 'I guess Tevez isn't a City legend either then' in which the sarcastic 'guess' and the 'then' imply it's almost stupid to think otherwise. It's not stupid at all to think Tevez, the man who dispensed of two City scarves whilst wearing his Argentinian flag as he collected our first cup in thirty-five years, and has generally acted like a twat off the pitch, is NOT a legend.MCFC BOB said:We all have different definitions of legend, mate.
