"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."
StrangewaysHereWeCome said:Ha! Fucking moron
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.

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.
Whoever the insider is that gave these comments deserves a pint

Love it when fools end up being hoisted by their own petards. To paraphrase Willy Wonka:
"Wrong, sir! Wrong! On page 3, subsection 5a of your memo titled, 'Pweeeease wet me join Manchester City,' you make it quite clear that all of your future comments on this subject shall become null and void due to the blatant, public and hilariously unbelievable hypocrisy it would engender upon your own self to even attempt to leverage them, and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy - 'I, the aforementioned M. Silvestre (not the 70s pop star) shall forfeit all moral rights, privileges, and licenses to comment on such matters herein and herein contained,' et cetera, et cetera... 'Fax mentis, incendium gloria cultum,' et cetera, et cetera... Memo bis punitor delicatum! It's all there! Black and white, clear as crystal! You BEGGED to play for us! You PLEADED with us to pay you for it, thereby making yourself into a laughing stock for publicly lambasting us over a principle you found so easy to disregard yourself, so you get... NOTHING!!! You lose! GOOD DAY, SIR!"
