Ric said:To be honest I never really wanted the **** at City, even though he'd improve our team significantly. He just strikes me as the archetypal cockney dickhead and not really the type of player I want to see in a City shirt.
It's the same with Rooney (albeit the archetypal Scouse dickhead) - there was a thread on here the other eulogising about him, and praying we bid £100m for him. He's clearly a brilliant player, but even though we have unlimited funds I don't want us to go out and just bid for any player (the fact that neither would join us is irrelevant).
Whilst I want us to have the best team possible, I'd feel a bit of a fraud cheering on certain players. I know football fans are fickle (think Alan Smith at Leeds/United) but there are other players out there. I'm probably in a minority, but I'd be happier never seeing Terry (or indeed Rooney) in a City shirt.
Back on topic, Bridge must be gutted and I feel for him but these things happen in real life (bloke shags mates missu). Feel like it's being blown a bit out of proportion.
