il padrino said:hes a good player
just not as good as he thinks he is
never rated him at Madrid
think he has a negative effect on the squad
bad attitude, worse punctuality
would rather be a big fish in a small pond than try and establish himself at Real
says alot about him as a player and a person
we will have more success with the policy of buying the best players from other premiership clubs, its worked for United (Given, Bellamy...Santa Cruz and Lescott in the summer)
than trying to get big names will create divisions in the squad
I wouldn't call trying to get a move to the beaten finalists in the Champions League a small pond, would you? alright he ended up with us out of luck more than judgement, and not at Chelsea, but he has gone about the job on the field in the manner of a player who wants to prove a point, not someone just along for the ride. He has not said he is the best player in the world, only that he has ambitions of becoming so,and he feels he can achieve this at City,what do you want, a player who is happy to settle for being average? nothing wrong in my book with a player who wants to be the best,especially if he plays for City. do you think if he was at Chelsea and coming out with the same statement their fans would complain? I doubt it,and that goes for any club in the Premier league.
and who says he has a bad attitude? have you seen this yourself at the club, or is it just a case of you read it in the sun so it must be true!
I will agree with you on 1 thing though, short term I would try and bring in some proven premier League players to blend with any good foreign players we bring in
