Yep like John the defender they signed from Everton. His value will be dropping like a Stone(s) too.

100% agree with that, english footballers get to much too soon, I remember a story about Jay Emmanuel Thomas (who, exactly) having a car crash around 2010 it was a 100000 pounds Mclaren Mercedes he was an 18 year old with 0 first team starts.

Of all the players that get slated at City for under performing, he is the one that I have the most sympathy with. Playing alongside some of those defenders must be nigh on impossible. Otamendi is always on his Arse diving in coz he has no pace, the whole of the defence has the same problem.
V Everton when they battered us 4-0 Stones attempted clearance came off ? Baines, lopped over there heads and dropped to the Everton player who scored. The first thing I said was " where's Otamendi" or any other covering defender.

The same player who was idolised by the kop who was half of the legendary S A S, then slated by them when he went to City. Ironically not a lot was said when Milner went the opposite way. He apparantly is a level headed kid, unfortunately he is not the only player who's agent is a knob. YaYa springs to mind.
His first season under Pelligrine was painful, he is getting back to the player he was at Liverpool. I certainly would not lump him in the same category as some of the other under performers I have mentioned.

We had a whole season of Stones being unlucky, his problem is that sometimes it needs Row Z, he will improve with maturity, but opposition know if they put him under pressure he'll make mistakes because he tries to retain possession.

It's a shame there are not more James Milners about, he is a REAL credit to his profession.
He was messed about something rotten at Newcastle when he was sent on loan to
Villa. Newcastle called him back from a loan spell only to send him back again, then when a deal was going through to sell him to Villa, Newcastle cancelled it.
How did he repay Newcastle, by giving 110% on every appearance.
James Milner has a fantastic attitude, always keen to play whilst always giving his all.
There are a lot of players both young and old who could learn a lot from James Milner

I've always said it,just another Aron Lennon.
He's even got the same silly run.

A few times Everton players put him under pressure as they knew he likes time on the ball, Baines got close enough to block it. :whoo:

Said it when Aaron Lennon was at Tottenham, great at going past a man but a crap crosser. Also couldn't use his left foot.

I think that scouts and coaches must get excited and carried away with pace and hope that they can teach the art of being a footballer.
I'm afraid you can only coach so much, Lennon, Walcott and Sterling are all quick but are not and never will be great footballers

4 match touchline ban for Wenger, going to miss games against Soton, Watford, Chelsea and Hull by the look of it.
I'm not convinced that touchline bans make that much difference tbh.

Agree, more effective are the bans (is it in Uefa comps?) where they aren't allowed any contact with the team or coaches before or during the game from when they get to the stadium.
Sure they will have all the talks beforehand etc but different not being on the mobile phone up in the stands all the time during the game and in control of tactical changes/subs etc

Dunno, the fourth officials will be able to rest easy for them games.
Don't they anyway? Useless so and so's
I agree. Make it more punitive and a deterrent. Still too easy to get involved and make changes as it stands

Not going the match today I have proper Manflu gave ticket to my lad but watching first half hour glad I never .
always think though if you travelled a long way with all the expense involved to watch Liverpool reserves I would not be to happy.
schoolboy errors for first goal borderline offside but shocking defending !
all the first team saved for Chelsea because the real money is in the premier league finishing position .
but if we go out of the cup we will win nothing again this season.
i think you can't play a second string team against a decent side like Wolves without asking for trouble.
