Shrek. Will he or won't he play?

[uwe282828]

i dont think he will play!little snipets like the other players need to step up to the mark etc coming out of Ot ,i think they`ve already decided he wont be risked,i think he had an injection to kill the pain against BM and did more damage to the ankle,and taggart isnt going to risk his major player again,they know they may not catch chelsea anyway so whats the point in doing long term damage to there best player.Rio will start but he`s shit anyway.

The sooner Sheikh Mansour stops trying to buy us players, and leaves it down to the scouts to seek out talented players. Only though this system, can we compare ourselves to the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and *gulp* dare I say it Man Utd, Barcelona, Inter Milan, AC, Juve Real Madrid (pre Perez) Bayern etc. Right now, the way we're going, we're just a weak mans Chelsea. And will be for some time. I hope this comes as a wake up to the 'fans' on these boards, who spout utter shit, We're not a 'Small club', we do have 'History', so behave like it!

With the exception of Arsenal, they have ALL bought success one way or another, so that is pure rubbish.

As for your comment on Mansour being a "cancer", if you really feel that, then it would be best if you gave up being a blue, assuming you are one in the first place.

A rag or very deluded.
Like you say cleavers the other 2 have splashed the cash and Arsenal aint full of north Londons finest.

Well he aint a blue. Not with comments like 'Man City fans are becoming'....

BTW, when Arsenal were winning things they were then splashing the cash.

i would suggest a cancer eats from within and sucks the lifeblood out ala Glazers

cancers don't generally look to improve their surroundings and improve things ala the Sheikh

Yeah, The Glazers are ruining Man ure, but the sheikh is ruining football itself. I know the top clubs have done their fair share of big spending, but over 200 million in one summer? No mate, my point is, without Shankly, Liverpool wouldn't have dominated football, Without Baconface, nor would have United, without Wenger, nor would Arsenal. But look at us and chelsea, without Abramovich or Mansour they would both be mid table clubs at best. Are you seeing my point? Masses of money in one go only serves to inflate the transfer market, thus making life difficult for smaller clubs, and trying to buy every star player of every team only ruins the overall standard of football and shifts power to the minorities. Spending big used to be considered 50 million in one summer? now thats peanuts, now its 250 million, honestly I back up my point, I hate Florentino Perez, Roman Abramavich and by default then I have to resent the Sheikh, I don't want us succeeding off his money. That's that

So come on, who spent £200m in one summer ?

So we need the best scouts?

I do believe that to get the best scouts you have to pay larger sums of money. Also, hand picking 13 year olds from Argentina, Brazil, etc. is probably as 'immoral' as buying success.

Then go, please.

If you are serious, then look at money spent by all those clubs you mention (with the exception of Arsenal) you'll find that all we have done is play "catch up", admittedly quickly, but why shouldn't we be allowed to spend the same as the rest to get there.

They have ALL had £50m per season extra from being in the elite that they organised for themselves (another exception being Chelsea who (like City) weren't able to be there to create their own cartel).

I think you'll fins that Sheik Mansour is in it for the long term, and will build slowly now from these foundations.

Your posts suggest you actually have little understanding of what Mansour is doing with City, and comparing him with Abramovic is well wide of the mark.

Each to their own I guess, blue or not.

absolute tosh

1989, united play the most expensive defender in the world in the maine road derby
he costs more than the whole city team put together
you're right, fergiscum is a genius, he doesn't need to spend ridiculous amounts of money, and obscenely more than the clubs around them
ps you lost the game 5-1

very naive to think any team in the last 30 years has had any success without major investment.wether it be 5 million 25 years ago when others had annual turnovers of half that or 200 million now required to fast track a huge econimcal project that will hopefully one day be self financing and bring prosperity to the region.Certainly every thing isnt perfect about todays game ,but it is not the fault of the modern owners,just look at the clueless clown that ran city for many years,we should of come out of our golden era late 60`s to mid late 70`s with a legacy that kept us at the top for many many years.instead these small minded people blew it.

Not bothered if he plays or not. Thats how Mancini should play it with the lads - we dont give a fuck. If he plays, he will not be at his best and will be scared of tweaking his ankle again, if he doesnt play then the rags are fucked as they put so much emphasis on him. Either way, the Shrek thing is a win win for us.
