    What a pleasant lad, very fair in his remarks, but he could change! Can imagine that BFB was once a pleasant fugger!

    Yes he's proved he has both of those attributes. The trouble is, he seems to rarely use them. Still time for him I guess but he needs to be consistent.

    Thanks BT. It's always good to hear from someone who was there. Glad you had a good day and that the boys got a result.

    I was there too, as you said an enjoyable day, Ramsey was my motm and I thought Ralls done well when he came on. Fish is getting better every game he plays my only bad thing is they had no pies left by the time I got served. <wah><wah>

    Just wondering what you thought of Will Alves, for any that went? - was always thought of as one of our brightest prospects before a bad injury (ACL) about 18 months ago - hopefully now fully recovered...

    Looks good, does not look frightened to take his man on. Early days but I can see him being one of the Bluebird favourite.

    He had a good game and it was quite exciting to see him make a few runs on the wing and into the box. I think he will become a favourite with City fans. I read somewhere we have an option to buy, so you can't have him back!

    Just seen a short Facebook clip from CCFC and there's a geezer sitting on his own at the front (BT?) and just along the way it looks as if our Doris was there too. Did she ride pillion?

    Pillion, sidecar, handlebars, petrol tank. Any position. She's a game girl.

    With all due respect Fosse, he's hardly likely to say anything when sending a young player out on loan.

    Another issue might be whether RVN will still be there if you join us down here - that's if we're still here! <yikes>

    Fosse - I may have caused some confusion by missing out the word "else" from my earlier post - it should have read.............

    "With all due respect Fosse, he's hardly likely to say anything "else" when sending a young player out on loan." - totally different meaning.

    Apologies if it came across that I was questioning you. <ok>

    We've got a 15 year old (wonder kid) winger, Jeremy Monga, who's been playing for the U21s and was on the bench against United on Friday... will train with the first team for the rest of the season and expect to see him get his debut imminently- holding on to him may be a problem as Real Madrid, Citeh and others are already sniffing... and may hijack his first professional contract ... such is life...

    We had the same scenario with one of our youngsters 2 years back.

    Gabriele Biancheri
    when he was just 16. This time Man Utd just took him off us because they could. <doh>

    It's often short sighted by the player and unfair on the club that developed them.
    I know there's a level of compensation now, but nothing like the true value of the player.
    More often than not, a youngster goes to a 'big club', never gets near the first team, goes out on a couple of loans and is sold. They'd get more exposure, and possibly develop faster, staying with their parent club.
