I'd like this to happen but I will believe it when I see it personally. If we get Tevez and Eto'o though my perception of this happening may change.
Don't take this the wrong way CTID, but you really make me chuckle. You're like the conscience of the Transfer Forum. That little voice in the back of your head that tells you we shouldn't be going for players like Terry, Eto'o, Tevez etc. Well you could be wrong about this one as well (I know that you hope you are). I've been racking my tiny brain for a reason why Chelsea would come out so publicly and reject City's offer. Everyone knows that 99.9% of transfer deals happen in private, and they could easily have used the meeting they had with GC to tell him that Terry is not going to be sold END OF STORY. In my opinion, this very public statement was for the consumption of their fans, so that when Terry eventually goes, they will be able to say that they did everything in their power to keep him. The ridiculous stories suggesting that City have offered £300,000 a week in wages is the next stage in this game. My guess is that City will allow this lie to go unchecked because we know that we have to allow Chelsea to save face, and if they can spin the line that they fought to keep Terry, but that we BTOOTW, this may go some way to appeasing their fans.
