The Goat to leave City?

Dune · Apr 25, 2003

Looks like Shaun Goater has decided to move on. I really feel gutted about this because Shaun has become one of my greatest favourites ever in the sky blue shirt. Always giving 100% and although he has been written off numerous times he has always proved his doubters wrong.
I can't blame Goater for wanting to leave, he has deserved to be played before Fowler for the last couple of games. I am not to pleased with the way Keegan has handled the latter part of this season.

This is sad, as you say. I guess someone else will have to feed the Goat now, because he will score.

Keegan has promised Goater to captain City for the last game at Maine Road. A last farewell to both a classic stadium and a classy player. May 11 is going to be an epic day in Manchester.

It is a shame that he will likely be gone. He is my favorite City player these days and I wish he was getting more of a chance. He has proven himself over and over again. I have *not* been impressed with Fowler at all.

Who else is leaving?

I'm not sure Goater has gotten a fair shot at partnering Anelka this year. I've seen him a couple of times as a sub but it doesn't seen like he's gotten enough time to prove anything.
Fowler didn't show me anything against West Ham but I guess he's Keegan's man so he has to stick with him.
City needs to make Foe's deal permanent.
