Sonoftherock Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/t...lla/8079088.stm Exactly the player City are lacking. Would be a cracking signing, and would at the same time weaken one of their main rivals. Link to comment
Guest LondonScottish Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/t...lla/8079088.stm Exactly the player City are lacking. Would be a cracking signing, and would at the same time weaken one of their main rivals. I heard they were after him last week , but didn't realise they were in talks. So much for him wanting to go for "CL" football with Liverpool, and how it wasn't about money last season........... Link to comment
weapon Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 What a lying sh*te!! Last year he was giving it all " I Want to move for champions league fitba" Aye my hairy arse you do, cause man city are about 2 years at least away from champions league fitba ........at least!!!! It's all about the benjamins!!! Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Pretty happy Liverpool aren't in for him this season to be honest! After last year and the on going saga, he can f**k off!!!!!! Will be interesting to see what he'd do if Liverpool made an approach. Would he join the medal chase with Liverpool, or do a Lucas Neill? Link to comment
Westhill Red Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I had quite a lot of respect for him but if he signs for man city it will go right down. Money grabbing b*stard Link to comment
Coopy100 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Good on him knocking back them scouse c**ts last season. Now going to a young up and coming club like man city instead of a club that may get taken over by a poorly run bank. Link to comment

Old Wing Stand Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Mini its all about money nowadays loyalty went out the window long ago, medals dont buy Ferraris and all the other rich trapping which is a pity but just a fact of life. Link to comment
minijc Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 He is currently being put through his medical, fair play to him he won't win f**kall, atleast at Liverpool he'd have had a slight chance. Also Liverpool made the right move in keeping Alonso, one of the bets midfielders in the league last season. Link to comment

Old Wing Stand Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 one of my pet hates in football is the above.Me too VDA all the badge kissing when all that mattered was the pay cheque worst example was the Huns 9 in a row team with all the English they had Hateley and all his mates trying to make out they were life long Huns when they were all up here for the easy pay day Link to comment

If Manchester City actually get their act together and buy a team like Chelsea did, there is every chance he'll win something, but even if he doesn't an extra Link to comment
minijc Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 You are what is wrong with football LS, you go on about having a team of winners yet you back this guy for not wanting to win anything. Link to comment
Guest LondonScottish Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 You are what is wrong with football LS, you go on about having a team of winners yet you back this guy for not wanting to win anything. Who says he won't win anything? What part of "Their owner is one of the richest men in the World and wants to build a team of champions" don't you understand? Why do you think that is so unrealistic? You are suggesting he may have a "slight" chance of a medal if he went to Liverpool, or no chance anywhere else. Not many 28 year olds would turn down Link to comment

forbesz1903 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Barry has more chance of winning medals at City than he has at Villa. Reckon City should be signing better than him if they are so ambitious. Link to comment
rgudon Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 would i win medals with the new company?? possibly, plus more dough, winner all round! Link to comment

NorthernLights24 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Wow. Just wow. I'm pretty shocked at it as well. At least this didn't drag out like his proposed move to Liverpool did last summer. Link to comment
Guest LondonScottish Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Wow. Just wow. That must have been some "take it or leave it offer". 5 year deal too. Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'm pretty shocked at it as well. At least this didn't drag out like his proposed move to Liverpool did last summer. Terrific statement of intent. It'll be interesting to see who's next! My guess is this will be the first, of a number of 8-figure signings. Link to comment
OddJob Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 A great player who will add some extra bite into their midfield. Depending on where he will play, could this be the end of one of Sven's signings i.e Petrov? Elano? Link to comment

I think Petrov is a goner, and Elano probably too, but then again, he's Brazilian and there may be a few more from his country arriving soon. This could be the start of a snowball effect, if they get another couple of top class players in. Before they were just all money and nothing to show for it bar Robinho. Link to comment
Jaws Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Seemed to go through hell of a quick today. How'd the talks go? Mark Hughes: We will double your wages. Gareth Barry: Where do i sign? Link to comment
