always hoping Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Has anyone read the attached article in today's Sunday people?http://www.people.co.uk/sport/football/tm_...-name_page.htmlNot sure if there is anything in this, but Villa were rumoured to be tracked the city youngster earlier in the year. Price quoted seems excessive for player who cannot even break into our first 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsKev Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 The price is not excessive at all in my humble opinion. He is a class act and more importantly he is a leader and talks very well about the game. He will be a class act for City and Wales in years to come!

Alex_BCFC Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 He won't be going anywhere for a while as long as this club continues to improve in the way it has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch the Acadamy as much as possible and keep a very close and keen eye on the players coming through and I believe he will become a class act and worth alot more than the figure that was in the People today.

wookey Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 As I mentioned earlier in the Season I was suprised Gary hasn't yet bloodied Ribeiro.He seems a shoe-in for Carey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
always hoping Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 If they want to progress they need to get out on loan and prove themsleves.Good point. With the 1st's doing so well linked with the club's new general wish not to risk playing youth. The only way for the existing younger pro's to gain 1st team experience is by moving to other clubs. Without gaining experience whilst playing on loan at other clubs they will never be able to win a place in the City lineup. Worst case for the lads is that for all their potential, they fail to develop and eventually fade away and get released at the end of their contracts. Of course there is another view. If they're not good enough we'll have to buy new replacement players anywayIn reality with City flying and promotion so close, I'd be surprised if too many people were that interested in this situation at this point intime.
