Perhaps if they offered him on a loan he would consider paying the wages, but that's about it. Maybe - maybe - if the offered him on a deal significantly lower than what they paid or something where City could get rid of Robbie in the process - he'd MIGHT make an exception.
Ex:
Julio Cesar - joined at 25.
Maicon - 24.
Ibrahimovic - 24.
Kolarov - 24.
Silva - 24.
Balotelli - 20.
Boyata - 21.
Milner - 24.
... all relatively unestablished (at the time) and highly talented. Hernan Crespo (at 31) came on a loan and was later hired on a free. Etc. Buys like RSC I couldn't imagine happening in a million years.
I quite like this frame of mind actually.
Have big hopes for the investments and efforts in the Academy to be the primary resource now that the young core mostly listed here is starting to take shape.

..and Boyata isn't 21
I'm assuming the poster got him mixed up with Boateng

Just posted on another thread that Barcelona have asked us to make a bid for Ibra (according to talkSPORT). Interesting if true.

The issue here is whether Ibra wants to play for City. I havn't got the impression that Ibra has something against the PL or City as such, but one of his main goals in his career is to win the CL. He has 4-5 years tops left as a world-class player. I don't think he want to throw away one of those years in a club that doesn't have a cl-spot.

Now this would cause me a problem, iv just had Silva on the back of my home shirt.
Home - Silva
Away - Balo or Yaya or Ibra
3rd - Tevez
Too close to call on the away shirt.
He would be an immense signing, but id rather us get another cb to partner Kompany, unless Kolos form from saturday was not just a flash in the pan and we are about to see the best from him now little brothers here!

We will win the Chumps in that time so no problems.
