The Allardyce shipping company tends to specialise in deadwood in rather than out. Hope we can offload a couple of duffers to him this summer.

Getting some cash for Barton sort of makes sense if we've got Gervinho or another decent wide player nailed down. We do need to fill out the squad depth a but but if it's a choice of losing Barton and getting 3 new players in or keeping him for 1 season and only getting 2 this summer I think we'd go for the 3.

You know when you take over a team on FM and you bring in some bright new talent but still have 4-5 useless old cloggers from the previous regime on the books that no-one ever bids for and you end up having to keep them until their contracts run out? That's Campbell, Smith, Guthrie and Shola.

Yeeeesssss! There's only two Ameobis chant lol edit: balls :-[

Come on, Ameobi on for Lovenkrands please!

Is he a sicknote though? What's his record been like before picking up the injury at Villa? I like him, get's the ball down and along with Ben Arfa is capable of playing the type of football I want to watch every week. 138 Games in 5 years for City according to Wiki so not terrible I suppose. All these little niggling injuries one after the other makes me a bit uneasy about him though and he seems to have a bit of a weird attitude what with the dead grandmas thing, his falling out with, well, everyone and his attitude to the national team. Maybe i'm wrong and judging him prematurely but it doesn't give me a good feeling about him.

Forget him, doesn't matter how good he may be if he's a sicknote. With the baggage he seems to carry, his injuries and the money it'd cost us we'd be better off looking elsewhere.

Yes, he's a bit crap but at least he loves the club and tries when he's on the pitch. For that alone he deserves respect having seen so many wasters just going through the motions. It's not his fault he's rubbish
