Manchester City: Wright-Phillips could leave in the summer!

Manchester City chairman John Wardle has refused to rule out selling England international Shaun Wright-Phillips this summer. The Eastlands side are struggling financially and may opt to sell their prized asset in a bid to raise funds to re-shape their squad during the close season. Wright-Phillips has been linked with a move to Arsenal and Wardle will discuss any offer with new manager Stuart Pearce as and when necessary.

when he does eventually go. i dread to think what city will be like. wright philiips really does stand out.

hehe....he will be scared to ask pearce for a transfer request lol

Manchester City insist Shaun Wright-Phillips has made clear his desire to stay at the club, and will not be sold during the summer. The England star has been in sparkling form this term, proving one of the bright spots in an otherwise mediocre campaign for The Blues. His displays have, unsurprisingly, led to increased speculation that he will become a summer target for The Premiership's leading lights with Arsenal reported to be keen admirers of his talents.

I can't see him going abroad, Chelsea would just sign him for the 'sake' of it lol!

Xavi has added to the speculation regarding Shaun Wright-Phillips by insisting the England midfielder should join him at Barcelona.

Wright-Phillips has enjoyed a splendid campaign that has seen elevation to the England ranks, in a run of form which has attracted admiring glances across Europe.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are all thought to be pondering over a summer swoop, whilst Barcelona are the leading chasers on the continent.

They need to keep hold of him if they want to do any good. He has to be there best palyer without doubt. They let Anelka go, who was a high profile player and if they let another go the fans might turn there backs on them.
