Its interesting isnt it.....the Spannish giants and Tebas have called us out for being all about the money, souless etc for years YET a lot of their players have zero loyalty to them at the end of the day...The likes of Figo and Ronaldo didn't really care when they moved from Barcelona to Madrid and while Zidane is one of Real Madrid's icons he is also a Frenchman and PSG are a club that will match his ambitions
Compare that to the likes of Sergio and Spanish Dave for instance....all could have easily left us to go to the Spanish clubs but chose to stay pretty much to the end of their top flight careers and still hold huge affinity to the club and are still worshipped by the fans....add to that list Kompany and various others.....
Even PEP, a staunch Catalan, has stayed longer here than he did at Barca..he has called out the politics in football there on a number of occasions and the way he talks about City it is clear that he has been very settled here and is extremely comfortable and the club (Txixi et al) have made his job very comfortable for him....compared to what goes on over there
