I hope it's wrong as well as so often it is on there but it worries me.It was added that a replacement has been lined up already.Those pictures at the swamp as Carl said were not comforting. Nothing has been apparent at training but his absences are notable and I don't buy the not fit enough argument.

(There's the added situation with Nige's contract too, maybe a gentle prod to him saying we can win without him - though it kind of backfired since we struggled)

We need to rid that turd of any involvement in City and id even go as far as sacrificing Nige to do it. He's been vital for us but there are other players out there who are capable of filling his shoes. De Rossi would be an upgrade imo.
My preference is for this to be sorted and for him to stay but if that means backing down in our stance on Kia then he can leave.
