Re: Shukran Sheikh
New member of the forum. As a life-long City fan, living in Ireland and surrounded by the usual united/celtic/liverpool mob, I have to say this is probably the most enjoyable summer ever. I am really enjoying annoying the hell out of the rags over here about them becoming our feeder club and making them pay way over the odds for Berbatov.
My son, who wears his city top under his club's under 11 kit for every match and pretty much every other minute he is awake, is on cloud nine but is actually very concerned about the scale of the reported wages being offered to some of our reported targets. I've brought him to a few games over the last few years and he has really enjoyed meeting the players who came out to meet the kids before and after the games - and Joey Barton deserves a mention for this in my opinion. While enjoying the speculation and literally salivating at the thoughts of some of our reported targets (and actual signings), I am worried at us losing that something that makes City special. Having said that I never, ever, want to repeat that sinking feeling when Tommy H's second goal crossed the line, not to mention the many hardships we have endured since then.
Long live sugar (or oil) daddies but hopefully we can keep it real and win some stuff too. And keep the faith in Dunnie!
