Inflation

Balotelli was paid £400 million an hour until it was time to leave and then strangely he was back to 90 or 100k a week when he was taking a pay cut to go to AC Milan. Strange that isn't it?

I am disappointed but not surprised how the media deal with our transfers

We are the only club when dealing with transfers have wages included to inflate the number

We then have the recent scenarios

Navas bought for £17m with add-ons which are included in his transfer (but they are only triggered upon certain milestones being reached) and yesterday I read the transfer fee was £27m

Fernandinio bought for £22m with add-on included in his transfer (but they are only triggered upon certain milestones being reached) and yesterday I read the transfer fee was £42m

I have read that City spent £52m up to £58m yesterday for these 2 players. Now I am not sure anyone knows what the figures were but the media line is anything "moneybags" City does has to be inflated so that our success is purely down to money

The only thing I would say is that the people n charge are the ones I trust to get the right deals for the club and whatever they are happy to pay is good enough for me but the media line against City is clear

What the media write effects me, you and the club in now way whatsoever. I wouldn't bother getting bothered by any of it.

They write shit; we move from a mid table club to a club in the top 5
They write more shit; we win the FA Cup and qualify for the CL
They write further shit; we win the league
They write more shit still; we get a new CEO, new director of football, start work on the new Academy, get a new manager and a load of new signings making our future brighter than it ever has been and get a new shirt deal with Nike
They still write shit; and it still doesn't effect us in any way. We'll be expanding the stadium, doing better in Europe and winning more silverware in the coming years.

Yet day after day people are still reading newspapers and then moaning about what they're saying about us. I just don't get how people bother with it. We have forums, the OS, and by now we know the handful of journalists worth bothering with so we shouldn't ever have to get wound up by what the rest of them say.
 
Just had a quick look at the comments on the BBC webpage under the Fernandinho signing...

Pmsl...

"mercenary,Greedy,managerless,Classless" are a few words that spring to mind.

Hope we spend another 100 million this summer.It really really really is hurting them.

Dont get me wrong I am not bothered about it just pointing out the fact that the media bias against City is constant. I have noticed City fans in the Fernandinio thread saying we have overpaid etc. Its not our money its the Sheikhs and if he is happy to pay it then he hasnt overpaid.

I think we as fans love the idea of buying a player for little money and making them into a world beater it gives us some sort of bragging rights. I just wish the media wouldnt treat City any differently than other teams but that just wont happen
 
I remember talking to a Chelsea fan when we were first taken over. He said then "The trophies are great but be prepared to grow a thick skin" How right he was. It's not going away, get used to it, goes with the territory.

Good Call HP-still hate our club being slated left right and centre however like you say..siege mentality required. We won the cup-It pissed them off,We won the league in the most memorable way ever (never to be surpassed)-It fucking killed them and it is still does.
Long may it continue...Next signing please
 
Fernandinho seals 'dream' move to machester city.

Why do they feel the need to put dream in inverted commas ? Subtle little shit like this adding their own slant on an article.
 
Yes, we are spending big on players now, but we are also investing hugely in the campus, the stadium and the future. No other club is investing so much in infrastructure. It is hugely significant commitment from the club's owners.

This is the real game-changer and is what they (i.e. other fans and the Rag media) should be truly worried about: where we will be in 5-10 years time.

I am really looking forward to their anguish.

I totally agree. I noticed that Sheepshank said that with the development at St Georges in 10 years England will be able to compete with Spain by developing English talent. Well our academy will be able to do something similar for City so whilst it may take a few years the academy at this club will be a frightening proposition
