This is a provocative question I know (i'm aware of the history...) - but does anyone think we should have a serious go at getting Sturridge back at City?
Pros: He's matured; he does score; he's English
Cons: The asking price will be ridiculous?
can do better than him
the price will be shocking and weve been raped for english players enough, and being english isnt really a pro
Too injury prone. We have enough like that already. I don't actually boo him like a lot do. He's actually always very positive about City when you read his interviews. Nevertheless, he spends too long on the injury table and he's still a bit too full of himself.
Still thinks he's way better than he actually is
can't see him wanting to return plus all the other comments already made
He was in too much of a rush to get away so i don`t think he would want to come back

It is when you need English players to comply with the rules.
I guess he'd be club trained as well... can't remember how long he was here for.
But no. Injury prone. A 1 in 10 scorer (imho)

need home grown players kenny, dont have to be english, just in the setup at a certain age
brendan counts as homegrown, you wouldnt sign him just to make up the numbers
i would tho
You know what I meant :)
Got a few youngsters on the verge of coming through.
Deneyer has to be a good shout. Can't be worse than Mangala. I hear he's been playing a bit at left back too.
Diaz, Barker, Ambrose, Maffeo, Angelino, Cellist. I'm sure I've missed some promising ones

so tony is using his phone
saw deneyer against wales, didnt look that great and mangala isnt that bad as long as he has someone decent next to him thats played before, managala and vinny/demi was decent....with otamendi, not so decent
anyway, seeing as pep likes the youth this is their best chance of breaking through. not sure pelle know we had a youth system....still annoyed at that swansea game
He makes music with his feet....
I'm annoyed we sold Rekik who looked a good ball playing defender. Anyone know how he's getting on?
Olympique de Marseille[edit]
On 30 June 2015, he joined Marseille for an undisclosed fee after making just two appearances for Manchester City in four years.[41] The move was later confirmed on 2 July 2015 and the player was unveiled, along with Lucas Ocampos.[42] Rekik scored his first goal for Marseille in a 1-1 Ligue 1 draw with rivals Lyon on 20 September

Sick note, in the same league as crocky Santa Cruz and Wilshere. No chance. He has looked super sharp though.
The ex rag Jonny Evans has impressed, or does he just pull his tripe out for Norn Iron? Home qualified.

Not bad for a young defender
He's been a bit shit today. Thought he was a bit shit in the match he scored in too...
