You know what, I was with you until you had to go insulting "Fifa fan boys" which by the way is an euphemism for those who realize football is also played outside of England. And cookie isn't half bad. Not great, bit aight. Bit you had to take a swipe while making your point. Well you shouldn't have.
By they way, who are the unproven players from other leagues that sicken you? Kompany? Zaba? Silva? Aguero? Yaya? Debryune? Sane?
This has been done to death, 75% of our best players came from those so called "unproven leagues." 8 of our top 10 players have been from those leagues. Right now, the only legitimate top 10 City player from the Sheikh era who was gotten from the "Proven" league has been Tevez.
Everyone else on that least was from the unproven leagues.
So forgive the "Fifa fan boys" for just following what recent history suggest is the better route when it comes to talent.
Rant over!
