Surely that'll have been 'Consultant' Slade....... He's a good player when he's fit, I'm not at all disappointed he's staying.
Quality footballer. Thought he was harshly treated last season after 2 games at full back, one loss and one win. Deserved a chance to partner Caulker at some stage f the season before he got injured. City are blessed with 4 very decent centre backs. Pity the same cannot be said for full backs. It cannot be right that City have to play a midfielder as emergency FB if Fabio is injured. Slade needs to address this during the break, as John is not a full back.
I said that the first time I saw him - away at Northampton in the League Cup 2 years ago. Great going forward with a good cross but not a natural defender and a bit on the short side. My comment was he would be best served by playing left midfield.
