Those of us who are old enough to remember donkeys years of potential Manchester City wonderkids and then watch then disappear into a black hole is heart-breaking.

On this occasion we focus on Michael Johnson.

Can you name any former young City player who you thought had the potential to take the world by storm but failed to make the grade?
 
Don't we get knocked enough by the meedja for our 'failures' without writing the stories for them?
 
I'll go back further than that, but you have to remember that we have only bought success.

Tommy Caton ( May he rest in peace) stolen by L'Arse
Steve Redmond , allowed to drift in to the sunset with Oldham
Hinchcliffe , poached by one of the" Big clubs" Everton, best left back for England at the time
Gary Owen , punched way above his weight , a managerial aberration, likewise Peter Barnes.

So , don't forget we have no history , and have only bought success.
 
...........and the ultimate, which I cannot believe I missed off the above, take a bow , Mr Paul Lake.

........ and David White, and Micah Richards, and dare I ad , Kasper Schmeichal .

We get lambasted by lazy journos, and pundits with selective memories.
