Last night I thought if we had offered 75m we'd have still got Kaka, because ultimately nobody would have expected a 100m bid and the transfer record would still have been smashed and 75m is still a whole heap of money to turn down. Tonight I realised why we've offered 100m, because simply it tells every other major worldwide club, Madrid, Barcalona, The Rags etc that if they want to go for players we're also considering then quite simply you cannot and will not compete - END OF STORY.

The bigger picture I believe is that Robinho was just the start of things but bringing Kaka here will escalate the change around almost overnight. Our new owners knew this when they planned to buy our club, they saw this vision, they will know that with these players in a City shirt COMS will just not be big enough, Im expecting many more world stars to join the 'project' and then our owners will approach the council and buy the ground outright as well as the surrounding land, they will develop the area putting in new infrastructure which will benefit Manchester as a whole, hotels and a complex to be built and a third tier to take on board the inevitable influx of new supporters.

This will benefit Manchester as a whole, developing the immediate area and creating jobs , take the airport as an example which will bring in outside fans every week to watch the stars on show and money will filter throughout other buisness's. Manchester will become the centre of world football with the rivalry and competition between the two clubs, no need to put the Rags down they are currently the worlds favourite team but we have shown there is a new name in town and we're coming fast on their heels.

I also believe that if we are getting the best players in the world then inevitably we will eventually get one of the best managers in the world, starting next season.

Manchester City have languished for far too long in the shadow of their neighbours, the phoenix is rising and ready to take flight.

City - Manchester City
We are the lads who are playing to win
City - the Boys in Blue will never give in

Football is the game that we all live for
Saturday is the day we play the game
Everybody have to pull together
And together we will stand
Even if we're playing down at Maine Road
Or if we play a million miles away
There will always be a loyal fan behind us
To cheer us on our way

City - Manchester City
We are the lads who are playing to win
City - the Boys in Blue will never give in

Blue and white we play together
We will carry on forever more

Maybe in another generation
When other lads have come to take our place
They'll carry on the glory of the City
Keeping City in the place

City - Manchester City
We are the lads who are playing to win
City - the Boys in Blue will never give in
City - the Boys in Blue will never give in
City - the Boys in Blue will never give in

Ahhh I saw all this coming and thought fuck this Noddy could win the league with the money he's gonna be given and so lets do it our way, no connections and all that with those over the road, but Ive had my say and life goes on, sat here with a double Vodka, soaking up every second of the moment BECAUSE THESE MOMENTS HAVE BEEN EARNED BY ALL OF US. I was gonna say these moments dont come often but Im begining to think they will.
 
Good points. The project is big and a few bad results won't slow it. The summer should be more madness than this, though, hard to believe.

Let's not forget if we bring in world class players now, we could win the UEFA and be in the Chimps Lge next year. Ah, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
 
Actually you have just made it sound like we are going to become just like Utd. But that is OK, it will be nice beating them at their own game I suppose.

Hope you have to swallow your own words regarding a change of management next year, because I for one would like a little stability for a change in that respect (as long as he cuts it with the big boys on board, that is), but I guess we will see about that.

Hi Mandy, on the outside we may become more like the Rags but on the inside the soul of our club will always remain the same, it's that single factor that makes us what we are.

we've all travelled the miles,
we've all witnessed shite performances,
we've all watched shit players,
we've all experienced unbelievable cup exits,
we've all said never again,
we've all cried with laughter,
we've all gone at times because of the friendships amongst us,
we've all sang our hearts out,
we've all not really been here at times,
we've all believed our day will come,
we've all stayed loyal,
we've all been always proud,
we've all stood in silence too numb to speak,
we've all wondered why we do it,
we've all stood together,
WE'VE ALL EARNED THE RIGHT FOR WHATS ABOUT TO COME.
