This is a single post from deeden.co.uk made during the period May 2002 to April 2009. During a previous grand redesign I decided to make a break with the past and consign the old entries to history. This entry is from August 2004 and lives here forevermore.

Shaunie Wright Wright Wright

Will he sign a new contract or won’t he? Is he off to pastures new? Those are the questions that are bothering me in the days leading up the the new Premiership season. I’m not worried about Vieira or Owen, but the far more important Shaun Wright-Philips. I desperately want him to sign an extended contract with City, and soon. Various clubs are rumoured to be interested in him, with Spurs and Liverpool being the latest mentioned. I’ve heard values of between 2 and 6 million mentioned and I hope City aren’t tempted. Last season Shaunie was the best player at the club by a long way and was unlucky not to play for England. I hope and expect him to get another England call-up soon and I desperately want him to be a City player when that happens. I’d also like him to be a City player for many years to come.
