And the best part is that he could have had a new contract at Arsenal if all he wanted was money. He didn't, he wanted to be part of a team that was challenging for and winning trophies which he knew he couldn't get at Arsenal. Now all he has done is painted himself into a corner whereby either he swallows his pride, eats humble pie and licks up his own spit by crawling back to city on the terms agreed this summer or he goes to them where he will get more money but he will be just as unhappy, as he was at Arsenal or even unhappier because he wont get to play the free flowing football that he loves. The only club that could give him everything he craved, give or take the odd million, was City, unfortunately he got too smart for his own good and fucked it up. All in my opinion, of course.
