All players kiss badges, it's meaningless. How many badges has Carlos Tevez kissed in the past?
Rooney would make us the best team in the premier league, as well as opening the floodgates for other world stars. You should rise above petty fan stuff like that.
All that matters is how he plays. He wouldn't be the same player without his petulance and aggression.
It goes beyond that though, in the press before every derby either mocking our shiteness or reminding us we've "done nothing yet", taking every oppourtunity to take the piss out of us whilst he's on the pitch.
I'm not sure i want to rise above it, i'm of the opinion that, as much as i hate utd in derby week, it's my most anticipated game... hatred is a strong word, but as a City fan, Utd are my pantomime villian.
As entertainment, what starts happening when we buy our most hated players and turn them into heros? It doesn't sit quite right with me, Tevez was a different situation, but this one is a weird one.
No doubt i feel some form of excitement at seeing the prospect of someone of that talent play for City, but i've already lost some of the buzz (but gained a decent football team) buying Rooney and hearing everyone sing his name, for me, would go against almost everything we as fans have preached for the last however many decades.
I don't remember him saying anything unusual in the press, but if he did say "City haven't done anything yet" then he was right, quite honestly.
I don't give a flying one about shite like that, I care about Manchester City. And if we've got a change of getting one of the best players in the world we would be mad to turn it down.
And, by the way, I don't have a shadow of a doubt that that is how everyone in power at our club will see it.
So he gave the finger to one of our fans once? Diddums. I'd rather have a player like that than one who goes hiding when under pressure. Eyal Bercovic once did a throat cutting gesture to one of our fans. And the follwing week he destroyed Man Utd.
