Personally (unlike other transfer windows) I really couldnt be arsed either way mate but the idea that players shouldnt take the "best" financial offer for them and their families and turn down potentially hundreds of thousands a year in wages because we are Man City is funny....We not desperate but the market dictates what we need to pay to close deals. If the club's new approach is to "not" match or beat other offers for any given player, thats fine with me. It would seem its a very clear, deliberate change in the way we approach the market but whether its right or wrong doesnt really come into it. The powers that be want to run the club that way....The problem is to improve a squad that is already one of the best in europe, in line with the Chairman's interview comments, we would "likely" need to change that approach in some instances. The best players in the world will always have a number of offers on the table, so to think we can improve the starting positions with World class players for less, than other teams are willing to pay in wages and fees, from a fans standpoint, seems alittle out of touch with reality. Again, its a business and I support and respect this club whatever their transfer policy. I just dont buy the romance that a player should take less to come here...
