He's young enough to at least become the highest capped England outfield player ever and with some luck could get close to Shilton. Club honours he has won loads already. Anyone know who's won the most domestic medals and how many they have compared to Stones?
Pleased for Stones but really hope city don't get treble. They represent everything wrong with modern football.
Disagree on this. United won the treble with heavy investment, yea they fetched a few kids through along side it but as have City.
Different eras. But you can't compare bringing one youth product on as sub from your £250m bench to a side made up 50% of homegrown youth team players. Probably only Stam in that squad was a signing that was a case of financial muscle.
He was immaculate today, especially when under pressure. That turn he did with 3 united players closing him down on edge of his OWN box was sublime. What a talent - finally getting plaudits he deserves too, BBC had lots to say about him. Absolutely brilliant
It's also unfair on City saying they spent x, y & z on players and then not inflating the costs Manchester united paid way back then. Blackburn & Chelsea both did it before City did, just City have done it so much better than anyone else. Their net spend in recent years is very good given the players there. City were playing catch up for years, just like Newcastle will be.
As opposed to Chelsea, man ure and most teams in prem and championship? I don't like them much but I think it's a bit unfair to single them out. It's being going on since before even maxwell with derby, walker with Blackburn and Ridsdale with dirty
At least they weren't just a sportswashing vehicle for a regime with a poor human rights record, managed by a massive hypocrite who was a drugs cheat as a player and wears a ribbon for political prisoners in Spain but then throws a wobbly when asked about his employers' record. Man City aren't Man City anymore. They're a sterile soulless husk.
