Shaun Wright-Phillips would consider going out on loan in January - but wants to finish his English career at Manchester City.[LNB] The England winger has only made three Premier League appearances for the big-spenders this term, leading to speculation regarding his long-term future.[LNB]But the 29-year-old insists he wants to finish his English playing career at Eastlands, although he may consider a loan move in January to gain game time.[LNB]He told Sky Sports News: "Well I'm never going to be able to say how frustrated I am, some people might never understand but obviously I know it is part of the game I'm working hard in training and I just have to keep going.[LNB]"Obviously it's very important (to be playing first team football) but I know everybody's time comes and goes and it will always come back again and my time's going to come back again and I know what I'm capable of, I know what I can bring to the game for club and country so I just have to be patient and just be ready when my run of games comes."[LNB]Asked if he will have to consider his future come January, he replied: "To be quite honest I don't think that far ahead.[LNB]"For the City fans I would never want to ever leave them permanently so I said I would always come back and that's where I would like to finish my English football career at some point so as for leaving them fully, I would never consider it so it is just a matter of getting games really."[LNB]But when pressed that a loan move could be the way forward for him, he conceded: "Yes possibly, it could be if I'm not playing here obviously I would like to play football - it's the reason why I became who I am because I just enjoy the game so possibly yes."[LNB]He added he had not spoken to City boss Roberto Mancini regarding his situation, nor were talks planned.[LNB]"Like I said, I am happy where I am - I just enjoy playing football and I just want to play the game to be honest with you and that's the main thing for me."[LNB]But asked if he envisaged himself being at City on February 1, he insisted: "I don't think that far ahead - Christmas comes before then so I'm looking forward to Christmas dinner!"
