I'm still here, still bored, wish to god they'd get it over with. Been on hols for the last fortnight and followed the horrible saga from there. Candidly, he's shown his true colours and I really dont think he's worth fighting over anymore. I hope that we get plenty of cash for some much needed right flank reinforcements and another championship CB!
I have a feeling that he will live to regret this, not the £££ obviously but I think that Jags flattered him last year, with Terry next to him he'd be fine but without I geniunely dont think he's an improvement on what you've got. I predict that he'll be replaced next summer by a better CB.
The whole sorry saga has really made me question football and what its become..... Before you jump down my throat, I'm not having a dig at City, I just think the whole episode has been apauling from the start. Hughes' arrogance, Moyes' pig headedness and the unprofessional behaviour of the player - not to mention our arsewipe of a Chairman and his typical obviscation of responsibility - he let the whole thing develop without intervening - possibly he needs a few quid for a new show.....
Best of luck for the rest of the season - there have been some great comments - and some utter shite.... but enjoy the fairytale this season.....
Honestly, I really dont know. I'm not in your position so I cant say for sure. I might be jealous of the cash but I dont think its being spent very well, I may well be bitter - here's us fans following a team that has worked so fucking hard to get a decent squad together only to see it broken up by an arab's cash rather than work, talent,determination and achievement.
Honestly, I really dont know, I just know that I was brought up to know right and wrong - maybe I'm a bit sentimental but I think you should earn lifes goodies - just wading in with cash seems to demean the purpose, I know the things I really love in life I've worked fucking hard to get, I also know (and work with) a whole bunch of people who have been given life on a platter - nothing seems to mean as much to them?.... Not your fault, and I know the majority of City fans are probably the true supporter that I've been for years its just the nature of football. But it just doesnt sit well with me.
As I said about a thousand posts ago, good luck to the lad, he's given us three good years - I still dont think he's all that to be fair, he's solid enough but not a £20m defender, not by a long shot!
