Will be sad to see him leave. Apart from the couple of slips in the last game his link up play, the way he sees things quickly and his eye for the killer pass will be sadly hard to replace. Has done really well for us this year and I hope he gets a decent reward in the summer.

Footballers are mercenaries so he will go to the highest bidder.
When you have probably picked up £10,000 a week for ten years you cant blame him for looking to secure his financial future and the struggle he may have to pay his gas bill (I shouldn't laugh)

If he goes I just hope that he doesn’t get any **** when he plays against us, he’s now surely earned enough respect to not suffer all that bollocks again, but I won’t hold my breath.
Last chance to enjoy seeing players of the quality of FC and Bowen, Grosicki, Evandro etc in black & amber. Likely to be many years till we do again ..... if ever.
Pity we don't see more of Evandro aside from 10 minute cameos.

We'll just have to watch Burke and Kane Batty and de Wijs won't we
Oh no then they'll go and I just can't take it anymore I'm going to cry wah wah wah
Ffs stop been a ****ing fanny.
Even if they do boo him, there’ll be to few fans to even hear it on the pitch
Someone like Barnsley will come in for the likes of Burke and De Wijs and turn their heads. Would be difficult to hang on to.
No, you're right. It's ****ing great seeing our club being torn apart and our squad decimated year after year.
Nobody is crying you div. FFS, many of us supported City during the mostly ****e of the 70's, 80's & 90's.
You really are an obsessed knob. Pity your obsession isn't with the 2 ****s destroying our club rather than fellow supporters who are simply sick & tired of them.
p.s. Kane won't be here.
Can't see Kane being with us next season, he's on loan, even though he is out of contract with Chelsea, is likely to get a club that will pay more than City.
Next season is likely to look a bit like this without additions.
Goalkeepers - Long, Burton, Mannion
Right backs: Lichaj, McKenzie
Left Backs: Kingsley, Fleming
Centre Bakcks: Burke, De Wijs. McDonald, McKenzie, Ritson
Midfield: Irvine Steward, Batty, Milinkovic Toral, McKenkie, Sheaf, Hamilton
Forwards: Lewis-Potter ??????????????????????
I put Mckenzie in three as he can be back up for 2 positions.

And will we buy any needed new signings early?? No no we won't. Then posters will scream. And wail.
Just ****ing relax what will be will be. As Doris sang.
I am more than relaxed, I gave up getting upset with the way these 2 handle the club a long time ago. We all know nothing will change until they have gone, we just have to see the team dismantled year on year and accept it.
Dismantled is a bit dramatic isn't it john.
Every team sells,releases players every year. We're no different.
Due to ffp we really can't keep some of the higher earners. That's a fact of life. Teams like forest, villa if they don't go up, boro are in trouble.

We've actually been 10th or better 12 times since the war in the 2nd div.
Not really being over dramatic, Nigel spoke about building a team year on year, but there is likely to be 12 players that will leave, that are first team players. That is half the playing squad you have to replace.
We could spunk £30m on wages next season if we wanted and we still wouldn't trouble the FFP rules, Ehab thinks it's our biggest asset.
