Its probably been mentioned a lot but I got into a discussion about bothroyd and I always wondered how would he have done under Malky. I would at the moment welcome jay back to city he can get important goals. Also Malky must up the auntie on Matt Phillips 2. Also what's the situation on Liam Lawrence ?

I'd have Jay back

Can't see us getting Phillips

I'm sure we could get Lawrence but hope we don't.

It would have been interesting.

I think Phillips is out of our league though.

cracking player, but I'd expect him to go to the prem.

Jay was largley what we were missing last season, he and Milller would have been devastating.

I'd have Jay back in a heartbeat.

Regardless of what you think of him, he is probably the most technically gifted player to ever wear a city shirt and an out and out matchwinner.

It's not practical to expect the work rate of Don Cowie from a player like Jay because fatigue sets in and the mental sharpness needed to make those match winning moments happen goes away.

I always wonder whether people who call Jay lazy, have actually ever played football in their life...

i'd welcome lawrence bk with open arms, he created so much space out wide against palace and west ham it just went unnoticed by the rest of the team, i can remember a number of times against palace where he had acres of space dwn the line to whip it in the box, he was literally screaming for the ball but rarely recieved it, i think if he's had arrived at city a few games earlier he could have created some important chances on goal and things may have been a lot different, but that's just my opinion :) :ayatollah:

I agree he did well, he stood out because of our lack of options IMO.
He was the best we had last season in his position however going forward I believe we need better, at least another 2 wide players.

You are having a laugh - one player who spent most of the times on his arse or on twitter, and the other who couldn't score in a brothel!

It was more his attitude and ego that bothered a lot of fans.Jay is not naturally lazy and when he feels like it is definetly a match winner ,but these moments were few and far between during the run in of two seasons ago-when we needed him the most
