I'm not buying all the staying nonsense, his agent and advisors are busy playing their games to get the outcome they desire...
Stir the pot all year, piss and moan about leaving, buying out own contract, linking himself (his client) to other clubs blah blah blah... And now state he wants to stay after someone releases the figures he's turned down from China?!! Hmmm, very convenient.
They're playing the game, and that's for city to stump up his release so he and his bald fat c**t of an agent can pocket the whole bag of sweets to themselves (or eat the whole fucking cake, if you prefer!). ;)
