We paid €70m for him, by the way. Using today's exchange rate (haven't got the rate from that day), that's just over £59m.

Pilloried for his first year by those in the know on these forums... "He cant play, he isnt a City player" prolly the same set of knobs who slag every new city player off.

He's been THE best purchase we have made during the Pep era. And if he goers on to win a Euro trophy it will really ahow this country up for what it is in not recognising his talent. Not even in the PL of the year! Spiteful twats.
