For me his best City goal. Possibly his first touch, 2 minutes in, poor touch from a Reading player and he just unleashes a first time effort from 30 yards into the top corner. Arguably one of the best goals from anyone, anywhere.
Amazing that he even considered doing that, let alone having the ability to actually pull it off. Most players would have just put their foot in to try to win the ball.
If it had been Ronaldo, Messi etc, we'd never stop seeing it. It wasn't even half a chance.Quote:

His goal v Barnsley was epic.
The ball seemed to defy gravity.
Scored so many to even choose from. We were blessed seeing some of his goals.
This free kick against wolves always sticks in my mind. Decent distance out, he goes to the keepers side but still finds the top corner.

Brilliant, winning the ball back not his thing so he’ll just knock it in lol amazing.Quote:

If he had got settled and played a fair bit at 19 years of age he would have been a starQuote:

He'd played 50 premier league games by the time he was 21.Quote:

Well his talent clearly wasn't seen thenQuote:

Whitts was the Championships version of Matt Le Tissier. Le Tissiers ability was never questioned, although his work rate, pace, commitment when things were tough most certainly were. Rightly or wrongly. I think that Whitts suffered the same problem.Quote:

Daying that, even his pelanties were beautiful to watch.
Soo gifted.
I was at that game and fell down the steps when it went in. Brian McDermott said afterwards it was a fluke.Quote:
