I didn't say they wouldn't - I said that there wasn't any hard evidence that any club's are actually interested. It's easy for blogs to churn out rumours and cut and paste the rumours from other blogs or the tabloids. Genuine interest may come in the summer for JM and others, but until it does I'm not making any assumptions that they will leave. Many players have jumped too soon and then regretted it. I also don't believe that we're a 'selling club'. If an offer is in the interest of the club then we sell. The restructuring means that we have to get wages in line and that players on big wages will leave. So far that is working well for the long term, but time will tell.
Some surprises here: City XI: Gunn; Zimmermann, Klose (c), Hanley; Reed, Vrancic, Leitner, Lewis; Maddison, Watkins; Srbeny. Subs: McGovern (GK), Husband, Oliveira, Murphy, Raggett, Hernandez, Tettey
Vrancic really needs to start creating and doing things from set-pieces soon. They are his key skills, and he has shown none of that, despite getting played more than he has deserved. Really need him to start earning his money soon, especially since we let Pritch go. Dunno why Watkins is in. Interesting to see Srbeny starting. In a way, it feels like "this is a loss, we need to give game time in this league to players, so might as well stick them in. Expected to lose anyway, so lets just stick them in" Could do with a game of "they get their chance, they have to take it" Also, Wolves wouldn't have prepared for this line up. If he trying to surprise... It might surprise the Wolves camp, like us, but then those players are a surprised because they have been so poor. To put them out against a side who have cheated and bought their way to the title, away. Worried.
Odds on Ruddy and Bennett keeping a clean sheet? I really liked both, I know a lot of fans were happy they left. Looks like they are doing amazing things this season. Annoying a club that cheat FFP got both of them for free from us, and they are both doing amazing things.
Urgh. Poor Lewis. We are very, very, lucky if we score 1 goal a game. So probably game over. We don't need a striker though. Remember. RB is our only weakness.
