Re: UEFA to investigate MCFC signing of Bony????
Its all bollocks, to be fair i dont think that a manager has the remit to ask Uefa to do anything, i could agree that a chief executive may approach Uefa but thats all.
The problem i see is that people confuse the issues regarding our punishment and they think we are limited to a spend of £49 million, we are not.
We could spend £300 million if we want as long as we recoup more than £251 million in sales. Who is to say that we wont sell Jovetic or Dzeko in the window? we are only half way through it.
Wankers the lot of them, we are doing nothing different to what the Rags and Chelsea have done in the past, the only difference you can argue is that when we have followed their model the goal posts have been moved.
i can tell you this, if we did get fucked over again then i think as a club we need to go on an all out media offensive, Show the corruption for what it is, highlight the issues with the agenda. show the fuckers up for what they are.

I've merged this pile of Twitter bullshit with the Bony thread. It relates to a bullshit story in The Daily Mail, which sensationalises a couple of remarks that Moaninho and Whinger made and then sensationalises it even more.Mancitybluemoon1 said:Looks like it City against the world!!!....just how we like it! ;)

BREAKING - Reports suggest several managers have allegedly asked UEFA to investigate #MCFC signing of Wilfred Bony for FFP violations.
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2914099/Jose-Mourinho-Arsene-Wenger-cry-foul-City-s-25m-Wilfried-Bony-signing.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... gning.html</a>
Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho have questioned Manchester City’s £25million capture of Wilfried Bony, amid claims the Premier League champions may have bent the rules to sign the Ivory Coast striker. Ahead of Arsenal’s clash with City at the Etihad on Sunday, Wenger admitted he was ‘surprised’ that his opponents have been able to buy Bony from Swansea despite being limited to a £49m net transfer spend imposed by UEFA for breaking Financial Fair Play regulations.
Chelsea manager Mourinho went a step further by claiming that the rules are different for title rivals City compared to other clubs, now that Manuel Pellegrini has added Bony to his £90m strikeforce of Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic. Asked about the Bony signing, Mourinho said: ‘Well done, good player, good striker. If they have the money and can spend it and have no problems with Financial Fair Play, well done. The rules are different for City, you know what I mean. But they can only play with 11, unless the rules for them are different and they can play with 12. They have a fantastic squad, and one more top player for that squad: Aguero, Jovetic, Bony and Dzeko are fantastic. Well done.’
Wenger expressed surprise at the Bony deal as well as the manner in which City signed former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard for the season, having originally stated that he was joining them on a short-term loan from their sister club New York City FC. Asked if signing Bony was ethical, the Arsenal manager said: ‘I hope so. They must have the availability and the Financial Fair Play allows them to do it. I don’t know. It was a surprise, yes. They have huge financial potential now for a lot of years and we know that.‘It is part of our game and we have to deal with it. It’s not down to me to control it. There are official people to do that. I don’t know enough about what they do. It’s not my job as well to judge that.’
On the Lampard issue, Wenger added: ‘I’m surprised the way it happened because it was told that he first signed for New York and after he didn’t. It’s strange.’
Although the Bony fee pushes City’s spending over the £49m mark, the club have offset it against the £25m they will bank from Valencia when Alvaro Negredo’s loan move becomes permanent in the summer. Pellegrini refused to be drawn on Mourinho’s comments, but insisted that there is more to City then just lavish spending. ‘I didn’t hear what he said and it’s not important for me,’ said the City boss. But I don’t think this club or this team is just money. Every team needs good players if they want to win important things. But after that, the way we play is very important.’

No worries mate, just saw a couple of posts and thought it was real. As I said in the other thread, I hope the fuckers do investigate.

Not read the rest of the thread but what a capture for us. I wasn't sure about the money we have paid but still we have got a fantastic striker here who is only 26. He is an absolute unit which isn't rare for a striker but what is rare is he has the ability to also do what Sergio does having perfect touch and deadly finishing. I'm gutted it didn't work with Negredo because he was my favourite player last season but Bony is a far better, proven replacement. Some on Talksport have been saying all week whether he will be happy playing 4th striker but I seriously think he will be 2nd now to Aguero and the way Pellegrini has us playing, he will be playing every week.
Bony will be a fantastic signing for us and I think with Sergio now has a player who he can play off and it frees him to be our central false 9 without worrying too much about helping the 2nd striker because Bony can hold it well. Bony will draw a lot of attention from defences because of the need to deal with his power and that opens up space for Sergio. Bony really is a fantastic signing for us and I reckon we could be seeing one of the best striking partnerships in the world being formed I kid you not.

Re: Bony signs - official
As good as Wilfred Bony obviously is I don't see the signing of another player who'll be missing the the vital part of every season due to the ACN achieves anything for us, two vital players gone every season at a crucial part of the premiership campaign could ultimately end up losing us titles and silverware I know the African's obviously value their competition highly but to every club losing vital players every season and it having a detrimental effect on their season (theoretically losing revenue due to cup exits, lost titles and relegation) it's just a pain in the arse.
