Some young gun who will come in determined to prove he is better than the first choice, just like it used to be. And that goes for Jatta as well (if we sign someone better, but we won't).Quote:

I?ve said this from the summer when people say we haven?t replaced Macca. We play one upfront, we have Jatta who?s clearly the no 1 choice so talk about getting another talented experienced number 9 who?s happy to compete for the shirt is pie on the sky for me. There?s probably only one club in the prem with 2, Villa, Alvarez for city was a very good player but he left because of no game time, Spurs could never tempt anyone because of Kane. I?ve said from the start we should try and get another 10 that can play at 9 when needed or a young player who will accept less minutes, but that comes with the obvious risk.Quote:

Needs to show some steel and hopefully he?ll hit gold.Quote:

It was me that posted that, I was told by someone else who got it from someone with a bit of insider knowledge. The original source reported that Scott had slagged off team mates and club and has demanded a move in Jan.Quote:
