This is the crux of the matter.
Football is awash with money and there are lots of issues regarding that. But a player is almost always going to try and negotiation the best possible deal they can. Especially when you have a family and a ton of charities back in Africa that you support. Why some folks expect him to be sentimental about joining a club that finished 10th, from a club who are currently the best in the world is beyond reason. It's business. And he isn't that rich that he can afford to potentially leave 10M on the table.
For all we know he could be excited about joining us. But that doesn't mean he should rush to sign a contract and risk losing so much money. Adopting this rash "if he doesnt sign within 24 hours that means he wont play his heart out for the club as he is only motivated by money" attitude is laughable. Whatever club Samu plays for gets a seriously dedicated player. Shit, it might cost a small fortune, but as I said earlier, he is a workhorse for the team.

If this sort of things would happen at Ajax, i'd absolutely hate it. Players like Eto'o and Robinho wouldn't even had considered City if it wasn't for the cash..
I seem to remember Zabaleta and Riera doing a press confrence when they was leaving espanyol at the start of the season! I think its a thing they seem to do in spain.podgy_rodge said:wat do u rekon he will have to say at the press confrence?

Thanks to signings like Robinho, and the quality of City's academy, players will come to city to win trophies - and deep down the Ajax fan knows that which explains why he is here.Bluemooner33 said:AJAX-NL said:Just wondering: doesn't it bother you that whatever bigtime player comes to City, comes only for the cash? or do you think that players from Madrid and Barca come to City, just to play midtable premier league football.

ALL players play for cash, they will kiss your badge one week then fuck you up the arse the next, its only a job to them. alls we can ask is they give 100% for the club well there here doing there jobs.
