They can't be doing themselves any favours for attracting future signings - same as barca.Chelsea had prior. Raheem knew he wasn't joining a stable environment. I do feel sorry for him as he made a big contribution to our success but there are few clubs as well run as our own and few clubs that respect their players like City.
When players look at how city and chelsea treat their players there can't be any players that would choose chelsea over city even ignoring that we are better than them.
