Hope the self-obsessed obnoxious little shit gets less appearances for them than he does for us. What he seems to be missing is that, even if he is on a bigger contract at the moment, unless he starts rapidly improving (enough to move above Drogba, Anelka and anyone else they might sign, in the pecking order) he is going to leave before, or following the end of his contract to a newly promoted club and earn fuck all. On the other hand he could have signed a new contract at city and continued to be in and around the first team, especially now that we will have the resources to play him in his natural position with all the support he would require.
Bad decision by the lad and his advisors and I think he should become an example to our academy of how NOT to behave. It may seem at first glance he has made a step forward in his career but the ONLY thing he has improved is his salary and everything else has taken a massive leap backwards.
