That above quote is sickeningly sycophantic not to mention innacurate. What the difference is from City buying young players like Nastasic, Jovetic and Hart etc from United buying Smalling, Chicarito and De Gea is anybody's guess.Shit Red Twat said:"City just buy trophies.
"United are all about growing players. City buy multiple stars and shut the door to the youth system.
"United have more courage. They are a club with a family spirit.Those who come through the ranks absorb the mentality, the history of the club so they show the heritage in their performances."
Yet Sunday Mirror Sport can reveal that Silvestre once approached City with a plea to sign him.
A senior Etihad source said: "Silvestre came to us when his contract had expired at Arsenal and asked if we would be interested in signing him.
"In fact, he was a bit desperate about it. It was a touch embarrassing to see a former United player in such obvious need of a final pay day.
"There was never any chance of Silvestre coming to City, of course, but it seems he's now got an ace to grind.
"We read his comments about Manchester City with a mixture of surprise and amusement, given they were made by a player who made it clear he was happy to come and play for a club he apparently has no respect for if we paid his wages."
The City insider said: "There used to be a time when it was said that City spoke more about United than their own club - but it seems the opposite is true now.
"It would be interesting to see if Mikel Silvestre is aware of the money both Manchester clubs have spent in the transfer market during 2014. He might be surprised."
City, who finished 22 points ahead of United last season, have spent less than £20million since the turn of the year, while their rivals have splashed out more than £96million.
What's his explanation for Zidane Cleverly then?"United have more courage. They are a club with a family spirit.Those who come through the ranks absorb the mentality, the history of the club so they show the heritage in their performances."
I'm presuming he's referring to Giggsy here then?They are a club with a family spirit
