Shaun Wright-Phillips on brink of Manchester City exit
Shaun Wright-Phillips is set to leave Manchester City at the end of the season.[LNB] The 29-year-old winger has featured in just 12 games for City this campaign, and was heavily criticised by manager Roberto Mancini in the 0-0 Europa League draw with Aris Salonika earlier this week. [LNB] Time's up: Wright-Phillips is set to leave Eastlands in the summer [LNB]Wright-Phillips was on the verge of agreeing a loan switch to Fulham during the January transfer window but was told to stay at Eastlands after team-mate Adam Johnson was ruled out for three months with an ankle injury. [LNB]But the winger, who re-joined City from Chelsea in a ?9million deal in 2008, has conceded his future at Eastlands is likely to last beyond the end of the current campaign.[LNB]'To be quite honest, I'm here for three months and my heart is set on playing well for that period until the end of the season,' Wright-Phillips said. [LNB] Eye on the ball: Fulham and Bolton wanted to take the City winger on loan [LNB] 'Until the season is over, there's nothing much I can really say on the matter. I'm playing for City and that's the main thing.'[LNB] Wright-Phillips however, admitted he would give his all for the club when called upon between now and the end of the season.[LNB] 'I don't feel I can do a job for the club, I know I can do a job for the club,' Wright-Phillips who has enjoyed nine years at City said.[LNB] Injury woe: Johnson is likely to miss the remainder of the season [LNB] 'And there's a big difference between feeling and knowing. I know what I'm capable of, so it's just a question of whether the club want me or not.[LNB] 'I'm never encouraged by another player's misfortune. Adam is a good friend, so I'm disheartened he's injured - for club and country. [LNB]'There should be opportunities to play, because we're involved in two cup competitions and going well in the league. [LNB]'I've been here as a player for nine years in total and I will never forget the fans. They've practically helped me to become the player I am. It was nice to get a run-out at last.'
