Pretty much sums up what i think about it, though more of an Adam johnson than a SWP, good player just struggling to make an impact in City's squad. They should loan him out, potential england international being wasted on the bench is no good for the Englad team.
Because all are thriving of course All would of developed better in different circumstances. Same happened at Chelsea, the young english players dont have the appeal of El latino or whoever
Nani and Young were injured for large parts of last season so that is a stupid comparison. They would have played more had it not been for their injuries, they were arguably two of our best players at the start of the season. Also, how many of the figures you quoted were starts? Milner and Johnson were playing more regularly for their previous cubs and were better players as a result. Somewhat valid point about Berbatov but he is 30 (I think) whereas the players you mentioned are in the prime of their careers. As we're only focusing on English players, Berbatov was dropped in favour of a young English striker who ended up spearheading England's attack at the Euros.
