n all of Nasris time at Arsenal, City have won more trophies.
We need to stop with this small time everyone who goes there is just money grabbing whore blah blah broken record shit. It's the case for a few players yes, but to tar every player with it just because they chose City is pathetic.
City have/are buying success. Yes.
However, they are in the Champions League, they won a trophy last season, they have a squad of great players now, this is not the same City that signed Robinho where we actually had to question why players would go there. They now have something that appeals to players besides money.
Players are allowed to choose different clubs to go to rather than Manchester United and it's a bit pathetic to slam everyone who chooses City just because they didn't choose us and say it's for money reasons. Maybe a few years ago, but not anymore. It's money plus trophies plus champions league just like it is when any player signs for any other club. That's what a player looks for, that's why a player moves to a different club. Yes they just walked right in and bought it, deal with it, they are here now.
I am not surprised players would choose City over Arsenal as much as it pains me to say it.
A decent rag reply some are finally getting the message

Why is it that when we signed two defenders and a keeper, the deals were tied up in a matter of hours. However, when we are after attacking players — Sanches, Aguero, Nasri etc — the deals take an age and we seem to be in a perpetual state of 'nearing' or 'closing in'?oakiecokie said:LongsightM13 said:So, another long day of nothing happening is it?
There does appear to be more light at the end of the tunnel,depending on your viewpoint of the British media,but I fear you may be right.

Might be a city fan in sheep clothing?
Because I can't see a rag fan writing anything like that
