There may be a few on the radar despite our relegation.
Etheridge has proved a great shot stopper although his distribution lets him down.
NML blows hot and cold but on his day a match for any full back, and can score.
Murphy tricky winger with an a eye for goal.
Can see all 3 being on the radar of lower table Prem clubs.
Hadnt forgotten about Manga who may be destined for a move back to France.
Murphy the only one I think, but I would bet on him staying. Etheridge cannot kick and NML can take an age for him to get the ball under control. I'm obviously focusing on the negatives but they won't be cheap and Prem clubs will probably feel there's better value elsewhere. Manga is staying, isn't he?
I'd be amazed if any of our players made to the Premier with the exception of maybe Etheridge.
Understand City have 12month option with Manga. What i meant was, if he goes it won't be to a Prem club, it will be back to France.Quote:

Paterson - cover for any side. He’ll do a job anywhere
Agree with the first two. Etheridge has natural ability.Quote:

Paterson will always be no more than a good Championship squad player.
I hope City sort out where Paterson fits before next season. He is NOT a strikerQuote:

He cannot defend meaning defence is out the option, midfield would be fine for him I think especially when we have 2 players who can play midfield, and one of them in Bacuna. He will fit in somewhere, he always does. He is a heart which sums up the team, no matter where you stick us, we’ll try and do the job the best we can
Not all teams have possession in the final third and end up passing the ball back to the goalie expecting him to hoof it forward. It might help if he could trap the ball and pass it out to a defender. He actually made a few nice throws against Man Utd.Quote:
