Sylvain is not going anywhere. He is staying at Manchester City. |
Sylvain is our captain, he's a very good player and we've got him here at the moment, so I wouldn't want him to leave. And I don't think he wants to leave us either. |
The award reflects totally on how the team have done, |
The business regarding Robbie was very good. It is very easy to say 'let's stop the clock' but life doesn't work like that. Letting Robbie go was the right move for him and the right move for us because it allowed us to get Georgios Samaras. |
