thanks for doing this

genius.

If you can be arsed doing it I would appreciate you keeping this running at points through the season (maybe monthly or two-weekly?)

Just so we can all build a picture up of whether it would be worthwhile having another look at any of these lads at City

Interesting to see if any of the other youngsters go?

I am very very happy with the pruning that has been done to the squad so far. Benjani is the only bit of "Danny Mills" that remains to be disposed of....even if he doesn't go, he's hardly the kind of character to be a bad dressing room influence so I'm not too fussed having him on the roster in case of (dire) emergencies

Updated

cheers mate

Thanks buddy I love threads like this. Just as a heads up, there's someone else to keep an eye on: Ryan McGivern at Leicester

Cheers for this. this is good

Top marks for that mate!

Good to see Shaelum getting proper game time. I'd like to see him in a City shirt again at some point even if it were just to have another proper look at him

Well done great idea. Ryan McGivern was supposed to be going to Leicester on loan too.

Mc Dermot's a talented lad, does things that are almost genius at times but always seems to be slightly missing something. Can't put my finger on it.

Watched Hart v Spuds & thought he looked really really awful again; stranded half way whenever a ball came into the box. I can't think of a worse goalkeeper in the PL at the moment. Hope he gets it together or he'll start obviously costing them goals & end up out of their team. What will he do then?

That's the thing with Joe right now, Maik Taylor isn't bad keeper so he needs to up his game in order to keep the gloves. I watched the game as well and he looked very nervous.

Caicedo scored for sporting lisbon in a champions league qualifier.

Does that count??

Did he? I thought he just forced the corner where they scored. That's what someone said at the time.

I agree. The crouch header he half came for and then bottled it meanning the ball was out of reach to save. Dreadful at set peices still. Great thread. I like McGivern...as a footballer. I`ve not just got back from mardi gras or anything!!

I don't want to look like an arse here, who am I to correct your English, but fuck me , is this even a correct expression?
What's wrong with fortnightly?

I think saying he forced the corner might even be pusisng it a bit but he was definitely on the pitch.
