Is Micah injured again? If not can't believe Boyata is on bench ahead of him.

I don't know which is more upsetting for Micah.....if he did get injured again or if Pellegrini doesn't rate him this much

Micah cannot play two games in quick succession really can he? If he came on in this game does anyone not think he'd be a high injury risk?

I love Micah too I'm not being harsh it's just how I see it.

Doubt it he's on the last year of his contract next year so we'll either sell him or give him new deal. Doubt we'll give him new deal

He can be world class, just have patience with his injuries:

He was absolute class before that long injury , since then pale shadow of fast train he was.

Patience? He's never fit and yet again he's injured. Unfortunately he's a sicknote and he has to go.

I think Micah had some bad advice when was young from some fitness coach to bulk up to much. He is just to huge in body for hes leags to support especially for hes position. Fullback must be more flexible because the amount of running and Body checks,and sliding tackle on him or from him. Simply too much muscle and pounds for that position for the amount of races and a lot of falling to the ground at full speed .

Supposed to have been offered a new deal which he turned down as he wants better terms & more game time. We should get what we can for him as can't wait forever for him to recover his form & fitness. Hardly played for 2 seasons & not good enough when he has. I know he's one of our own but! Mancini said he was made of glass & he may have been right

Dzeko should've had four.

Could be said of any game he plays in, if he could just sometimes get over the ball rather under it and row Z it ;-)

Back OT, Micah, if they can sort his fitness, still has a part to play IMO

maybe i've missed it but what the heck is going on with him now?

his recent absence makes me wonder if the tabloid's claim that Sagna is coming to us is true....prob not but it appears we'll need a new RB this summer

Im not sure whether Sagna is the answer, 60k a week and no transfer fee seems cheap though, wonder what hed be like back up to zaba? a bit old for my liking though, id rather someone young or english or pref from our academy(micah ticks all boxes shame he cant get his head together)

Guardian saying Sagna has been offered a contract. Pretty much the end for Micah at City I think.

Don't care for him at all, but I suppose if he was on reasonable wages, then he can fill a gap in the squad until they find a kid to play there. He is an excellent crosser of the ball tbf.

Micah can't currently be replaced but if he's never fucking fit, that doesn't really make much difference.

What's the homegrown rule criteria again?

using this amazing website called google, i was able to find this

The Home Grown player rule took effect at the start of the 2010/11 season and involves all Premier League Clubs.

All 20 Clubs must include eight Home Grown players out of a squad of 25 for that Premier League season.

A Home Grown player will be defined as one who, irrespective of his nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to the Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21).

Clubs are able to supplement their squads with unlimited additional players under the age of 21 on 1st January in the year in which the season commences.

Changes to the squad list of 25 may be made during the period of a transfer window. So Clubs must declare their 25 at the end of August when the window shuts and then again at the end of January.
