Any chance you've got a quote mate?
Did he categorically state that he'd be going nowhere?
This forum makes me piss at times mate. Plenty of blues would seemingly fuck off a club legend for a new shiny toy.No it's not that. My son is 8 but he gets City, and he gets loyalty, and how big a part of our club City is. I started going to City in the 60's when things were great, but I enjoyed it no less in the 80s and 90s when things were shite. Some things transcend win and lose, and for me and my 8 year old it's Sergio, for me and my other lad it's Spanish Dave. I value them for that, more than I do us winning things. That's us, not you, so back in your box
Bet they still wear gloves in october.

Of course it's an advantage..I doubt it's at the top of most players or managers list of priorities...they can travel to a sunny country when they have some free time
Its not one or the other. if we want to be the best team in the world, you need to get the best talent in the world when it is available. We play enough games to keep all happy.
Some people on this forum were happy to see him go when Jesus hit 3/4 goals against cannon fodder in January.
If we could have both that would be amazing but I would not wish Serg to leave partly for sentimental reasons but also because he is still one of the best in the business.
If this is on then we need to blow RM out of the water whatever it takes , even if it takes £200mill, and I'll give you my reason. I'm not saying this because I'm trying yo spend someone else's money, it could even be argued that we don't really need him just at the moment.
You only have to look through this thread to see that a lot of our fans seem to have an inferiority complex when it comes to going head to head with RM to sign players. It is so for a reason and it needs to change. That reason is that although we are a rich club, our image and status needs to catch up. In short we need an "Aguerooooo" moment in the transfer market. We need players, fans and clubs alike to sit up and take notice. We need the clubs to fear us, and the players to respect us and take us seriously when we come calling. Not only will this signing propel us to a different level in terms of playing ability but it will announce us as serious players in the hierarchy of European clubs. I know we still have to win the CL but a transfer made against the odds like this one would be priceless.
