Who can blame him, City have changed and by just being English he can try and force the issue, On this one though, he won't win, he'll have to compromise or move on.
I just think he's decided to go. It would need the manager to persuade him he is going to be part of the setup & I don't think that's in the plan after all his injuries.
It's really sad what's happened with him imo.
I agree, but only from an a point of nostalgia. We Blues love nostalgia.
It's not nostalgia for me, it's just another academy kid who could have been something special, who has fallen off the bus.
But how many are still here? Sweep was our star and we had a few before and after but reality bites, Shaun was the star.
The thought that our Academy could have gone on and produced bigger and better players, that's a different debate, but our staff moved on, it was a massive change.
We produced hardly any quality footballers at all in those years & I'm glad it was torn apart & started again, it was crap, but the few good players we did produce have not ended up having anything like the career they should have had.
Only Sturridge has the chance to actually reach the level SWP, Ireland, Weiss & Richards should have been at.
One top 4 regular player in all those years. What an absolute waste of time. Micah would have been the ONLY City success story from that system.
