If you were already filthy rich and didn't need the money, would you work in a job you hated for £29k a year, or one that you loved for £20k a year?

Now I'd presume that playing football is what these people love to do more than anything, so I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that some might choose the game over the cash.

It's their right not to, but I worry about the priorities of anyone that would take cash they didn't really need over doing something they genuinely love doing.

Take the cash. You can always get back to your love the following season!
 
depends whether:

a) anybody wants him.
b) anybody's willing to pay for him.
c) if he's happy in Manc, settled w/family or whatever, knows he has dodgy injuries so he wants to stash away as much as he can now on this great contract he has and be set for life with a really good life.

I don't blame him at all, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Must be the worst deal in the history of the game. Move over Steve Daley.

May I suggest another contender that the older posters on here (like me) might remember:


Midfielder Colin Viljoen began his footballing career in England with Bill McGarry's Ipswich Town side in March 1967. Under their next manager, Bobby Robson, the East Anglian club became one of the country's top teams of the mid 1970s and Viljoen was a major factor in their successes. He stayed at Portman Road for 11 seasons (and played more than 300 League games, scoring 45 times) before joining City on 15th August 1978 for a fee of £100, 000. A naturalized Briton, Viljoen was such a consistent performer during his days with Ipswich that he won two caps for England, both coming in a four-day spell in May 1975. A goalless draw with Northern Ireland in Belfast was followed by a 2-2 draw with Wales at Wembley, both games in the Home International Championship. His debut for City started on a high with a 4-1 win at Chelsea thanks largely to a hat-trick by another newcomer, Ron Futcher. However it proved to be a stop-start season for both club and player. City finished in a disappointing 15th place in Division One (a drop of eleven places from the previous season) and Viljoen played 16 League games with his longest run in the side just five matches in February and March. He seemed unable to find his true Ipswich form in City's colours, a fact born out when he managed just eleven League games with two of those as a substitute, in the 1979/80 season. Even under new manager Malcolm Allison, City and Viljoen continued to struggle and Allison eventually sold the player to Chelsea on 13th March 1980 for a fee of £60, 000. He played a combined total of 35/3 League and Cup games for City, scoring just once, in a 1-1 League Cup draw at Sheffield Wednesday in August 1979.

1.Your £29k a year job is not relevant here, when your earning more than that per week money is less of a need and other things should come into the balance such as the aforementioned pride.
2. Fifa FFP is a reason to give a shit. Moreover even though it isn't our money it is our club and I'd rather people didn't take it to the cleaners.

While it maybe "our club", I'm afraid you'll have to get used to people taking what they can get. Its our clube fault we were willing to give mercenaries contracts like these, so its our clubs fault when we can't rid ourselves of them.

Morally most of us wouldn't do that to our club, but how many would do it to our own employers if we had the chance ? Footballers play not for the love of football, but for the extremely good benefits they can get in their short careers, I don't like it, but I can't say I blame them, and very few of them are City supporters, so they can screw the club with little moral worry.

I would rather keep all those players and lose them for free at the end of their contracts than contribute to the wages and send them on loan. City need to send a message to clubs the players are available to buy just like we had to do. If the players are interested in playing then let them take the wage on offer from another club, we are not a charity if things haven't worked out at the club for certain players they should either accept that and move on or stay as a mercenary and pick up wages. We are at a stage now where we have more to offer than just money if players want to come and play we still offer very good wages and most likely better than most. If any player at the club doesn't accept that then sell them if possible and repace them with players willing to do the job at the wage offered. The whole argument than x player gets x amount so I want more is an argument that shouldn't be tolerated. Players were offered over the top wages to join so we could get to where we are now if a player missed the boat then that's their fault not the club. If we bow down to these demands it will never stop and I for one am glad that city seem to have drawn a line in the sand and won't budge over it. Same with the nasri agent if we give in and pay him the next player and agent will do the same, it has to stop and if it means missing out on a player or two now or causes a fans favorite to leave so be it. I think the club will be a better place for it

EXACTLY! ^^^^^^^^^^

If Bridge, RSC, Adebayor, Bellamy want to believe that they got those wages because they were brilliant, rather than City paid over the odds to build quickly, then they can continue with the delusion and NEVER kick a serious top flight football ever again.

They have a choice: Accept that City want a fee and that they will have to negotiate a lower fee at another club if they want to play football OR they will NOT play football, will take the contractual £ City offered and waste away in the prime of their careers and be forever known as millionaire mercenaries who put MORE millions above football.

Either way, I am not arsed. The money is relatively meaningless to City, but these players get ONLY ONE CAREER and it ends very shortly after their current contracts end.

Oh, and Bellamy using the kids in Sierra Leone as an excuse is almost beyond the pale!

Bridge: £4M
Bellamy: £4M
RSC: £4M
Ade: £12-15M

That's £20M, or one Samir Nasri! SURELY, that is not asking too much!

....and the wage demands of the player at his new club are NONE OF CITY'S BUSINESS!

One last thing....I will be PISSED if City let Ade go to Spurs "on loan" as that only makes their weak-arsed forward line stronger and allows them to compete against us for honours, even though he could not actually play against us. Sadly, they do not really have anyone we might want in part-ex!!

Bale maybe??...No way would (cheapskates) Tottenham stump up all of Ade's wages, though so it probably wont happen
 
I personally doubt De Jong will agree a deal with us - with slime bags advice he will run his contract down - he's a great player but we are smart enough to know that we will need to prepare for his departure. The club should make it clear to al its playing staff if you employ Kia you have no future at the club. There is no way we should be having any contact with that vermin.

I don't trust anyone who has '99' as part of their username. Now do as you said in your first post and don't bother us again.
