who reckons they asked for more money?

At least we've got Bellamy. Not the same big name as Kaka, for sure, but potentially as important to our efforts to get into the top 10.

Sorry mate I can't see it in those terms.

It's like being offerered Champaign and Beluga caviar and then being told never mind have a dog biscuit.

EDIT: Re-reading your post I can't help but laugh.

"...Bellamy. Not the same big name as Kaka, for sure". Hilarious.

and then

<Bellamy> "as important to our efforts to get into the top 10". Also hilarious. Rolling on the floor hilarious.

Seems Kakas advisors are saying that they were surprised that Cook did not divulge the personal terms on offer when they met him. If that's the case were City ever really interested or had they already made up their mind to pull out by that stage? Whatever the case we're getting mud slung at us from every which way. We've been royally screwed in the media stakes and it may take a while to recover. Only at City..........
