Going on performance this season. No.

I doubt he's even match fit!

No.

And I think the issue will send out some clear messages to players in the position Wright-Phillips was in last summer. If he had stayed at City, I have no doubt he'd be going to the World Cup.

Go to Chelsea, you may be risking your international career. Do the business with a second-tier club like City or Spurs - in Lennon's case - and you will be better placed.

You'll also become a better player. So a bit later in life if you want to joint the likes of Chelsea you may be a first team regular.

Yes - he's a good option to play down the right of the midfield.

Personally no, don't think he has done anywhere near enough this season to warrant a place in the squad, would be different if he was a key figure in the team, but he's not. He has nobody to blame except himself and his dad, he really should of stayed at City

The lack of first team oppurtunities have cost him his place and won't be suprised if Wright senior is advising him to put in a transfer request ASAP!

Agree with that, he was the next big thing before he moved to chelsea. Should have gone to arsenal imo, would have got more opportunities and would certainly be in the squad if he had played regularly in the prem this year.

Agree with that Arsenal could sign a lot worse than SWP to play on the wing would suit their style of fast attacking football. Similar situation to Scott Parker just goes to show sometimes better to think with your head rather than your wallet!

If he had stayed at City he would probably have played in the majority of their games this season and barring injury been a certainty for the World Cup, he didn't, didn't and won't.

The moment he took the Russian rouble he was condemmed to a career in the stiffs or the Carling cup. If he had stayed at City he would be an England regular, well small, NOT supersized !

Yes. If Owen, Rooney, Campbell, A.Cole and Walcott deserve a spot then so does he.
