City's third choice keeper, Stuart Taylor (formerly of Aston Villa and Arsenal), is leaving after his contract expired, so Ian could be promoted to the senior squad
As seen on Facebook earlier.
Hopefully he can use Citeh as a stepping stone!

Read that as Liam Lawlor for a second and had to look twice.

short profile of Lawlor, and two other players who have signed senior deals at City, here: http://themaineblues.com/2014/10/06/...pen-new-deals/
That's a ringing endorsement right there. I've my fingers crossed for this lad, especially given the age profile and questionable (?) quality of our current options.
One of those of "questionable quality" turned down an offer to sign for Man City to play regular football. I speak of Westwood of course whose decision to play Championship football must have helped push Lawlor up the pecking order.
p.s. I don't believe that a fit Westwood is of questionable quality.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Nor do I. I think Westwood is a quality keeper when fit, that's why I put in the question mark in brackets (my point probably wasn't clear there, questioned by some I meant)- there are obviously doubts over our current options among the management on the basis of the fact that they brought in Given.
He's almost 30, which isn't old for a keeper but I refer to the fact that he's had to drop back down to Championship level before he can come back up.
Lawlor's been posting on twitter about an end of season surgery for him yesterday: http://twitter.com/Ianlawlor
It has ended his season, to be fair. The last two weeks of it.
Lawlor was interviewed on 98fm at the weekend: http://cdn.radiocms.net/media/006/au...audio_file.mp3
How come some people say Ian like E-anne and some people say it like I-an? The guy from 90210 and Sharknado for example.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Seems to be going well for him so far as Barnet lead 2-0 at half time. Yeovil have only had two shots on target according to the BBC stats so he obviously hasn't been overly busy. I didn't realise Yeovil had plummeted quite as far as they have, bottom of League Two. I was at Huish Park just over two years ago when they were playing in the Championship!
Oh dear, 2-2 now.
