SWP Return To City Unlikely
There's been a load of speculation about SWP coming back to City pretty much ever since he left for Chelsea. Loan deals never materialised, but now with Frank and Sven almost at the helm City would be able to meet the £10-12m transfer tag that would see Chelsea offload him.
Much as I'd like to see him return, he's never given the impression that this would be an acceptable option for him and has been determined to cling on at Chelsea, almost to prove to himself that leaving City wasn't a big mistake. We know it was, he knows it, but for obvious reasons he cannot admit it publicly.
Listening to his Dad on Talksport last night, he pretty much ruled out a return to Eastlands which is a big shame. Shaun was a big favourite up here and illuminated many a dull winters afternoon with scintillating pace and exquisite skills. Most City fans, like me would love to see him back.
His Dad is a big influence on Shaun, and if he says he's not coming back, that's probably the end of it. I guess at the end of the day, money talks, but if his other options turn out to the likes of West Ham and Villa, he and his Dad might just need to have a re-think. Even so, reading between the lines, at the moment, I wouldn't put the probability of SWP coming home at more than 25%.

If his dads got anything to do with it, he'll end up a Gooner
With the rumours of all the different players Sven has been linked with it would be likely that if SWP was to come back he might finish up sitting on our bench. After all it was Sven that left him out of the England World Cup squad.
...and if he'd stayed at City he'd have been in the squad. Getting left behind is where listening to his Dad got him last time, maybe he's learned a lesson eh?
You're spot on there blue on blue, but somehow I suspect SWP and his Dad are still not ready to eat humple pie and will tough it out
Sometimes you need to stand up and be your own man. Shauns 25 now, maybe its time that he told his dad "thanks Pop, but this feels right and I'm going home".
