Would Bellamy be at City without his huge paycheck? Would Tevez? People really need to grow up.

The OP makes some excellant observations and i find myself struggling with the moral issue and my love for City.

Nice to see some clueless dickheads respond to my question with nothing of substance.
Bellamy - at the time, probably didn't deserve his massive wages, but has proved them worthy. Notice how he didn't come out in the press (or pay an agent to represent his views) slagging us off as not a big club or poor. Nevertheless, Toure's wages would dwarf Bellamy's.
Tevez wouldn't be at City if it wasn't for his huge paycheck. That's because Tevez is world class. And he didn't go on about how he would only be going to City for the money. Players like Tevez warrant astronomical wages. A mediocre Yaya Toure, who is worse than Barry and De Jong, is not worth outlandish wages which will undermine those around him.
The thing which pisses me off most is that he doesn't even disguise that he would rather be elsewhere and would only come to City for money. People like him, who have impoverished upbringings, should know better. Actually, I would go as far as calling him scum. He's like a rapper who manages to incorporate both the social inequalities of black people and also a ludicrously expensive brand name into one verse.
Like I said, we need players who are world class, young or ambitious. I would hate it if we sold our arse for some second-rate, avaricious wanker. The guy is a fucking disgrace, and our club would be better off without him.

I'm stereotyping the Ghanaians.
Kolo's profile suggests so.
Kolo Toure was born on 19th March 1981 in Bouake, Ivory Coast. He was one of many children in the family, and regularly enjoyed playing football in the dusty streets with his brothers, and all that practice paid off - younger brothers Yaya Toure and Ibrahim both play professionally too. He signed up to an academy associated with ASEC, which had close links with Arsenal.

It´s also a fact that close to the poor area where he was brought up Kolo spent his first real paychecks on a big house for his dad and younger brothers..
As the brothers all became pro´s and moved away the house has grown and several of their poor relatives live there with their dad (who don´t worry about money nowadays) so yes...The Toure brothers will care about money, and I don´t blame them.

Lets be honest here, to the vast majority of players it's only a job, most of us would leave our current employers in the blink of an eye if we were offered more money by another company to do the same thing.

I work for a relatively decent company, that treats us quite well and I believe our products are better than all our competitors. I would leave tommorrow if I could double my wages. A footballer is no different. Once here they may grow to love the club, but if we want 11 lads born in Manchester to go out and die for the shirt we would be in the conference. Where is our loyalty to the players you mention? Bishop sold when he didn't want to go. Both Whitleys didn't want to leave. Loyalty works both ways.
Do you think Lampard, Essien, Cole or Drogba went to Chelsea because they loved the club?
