What he was about as noticeable as Petrov and Elano.

No. He had been linked with Real Madrid, Arsenal, United, Liverpool, Barca etc. before his move to Hamburg. He was one of the hot prospects of European football.

About five years ago.
I can name you hundreds of youngsters being linked with massive clubs. Veloso is one of them. He's alright but overated to fuck. Everytime i have seen him he's been no better than Michael Johnson etc.

 

[moomba]

Nothing.
Thats my point. Players like Arshavin, Diego, De Jong are the names we can attract. It's too early for Kaka's etc.

Not sure what you're arguing about then, I've never said that we should only be going for players of the calibre of Kaka.

One man's inferiority complex is another mans realism.

Was it unrealistic for us to try for Kompany?

Who the fuck was Kompany before he signed for us. He was a nobody.

Despite several top clubs tracking him, PL included. Facts right, get them.

Johnson is quality so to be rated as highly as him is quite an achievement.

No, what has that got to do with anything? The conversation was about City being able to attract the top names. Now as much as I rate Kompany, I don't think that being able to sign him means that as a club we have the profile to attract Kaka, Villa etc. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy to attempt to get the very top names but it would be delusional to think that a player from a different country who had probably barely heard of us before ADUG bought us is going to be desperate to play for us rather than Barcelona or Milan.

Any one else think absolutely nothing is going to happen?

Probably not, but we have already been spoilt. I don't know what all the fuss is about.
