Dear Man City fans

[ruudvandan]

This is what happens when you through ridiculous amount of money at people. You get a load of mercenaries who don't want to be at the club and just want to milk as much money out of it as possible.

You've turned into a laughing stock now and it's only a matter of time before the Arabs realise and cut loose.

Carlos Tevez: I'm unhappy after World Cup hell and I'm looking forward to leaving Europe | Mail Online

[steppenwolf]

Yup, now they have one more mercenarie, Balotelli... 28milions...

[Bulld0g]

The same could be said for most clubs. The money they get is ridiculous, they have no loyalty to the fans, all's they are intrested in is ho much money they can make. If it was upto me i would put a cap on the wages they earn.

[ruudvandan]

if he's so unhappy then what's keeping him from leaving now? It's the money, he's there pure and simply for that. City is getting destroyed by some Arab's ego. They're kickin out all of City's best players i.e. Bellamy, Ireland and Dunne just so they can spend silly money on players who aren't as good.

Dunne is well better than Lescott, as was proven last season. Look at how well Bellamy played against United last year! There's no way Balotelli can do that. And is Milner really that much better than Ireland? I'd even have Ireland at United.

How long before the Arabs realise that their team is a joke and leave?

your right about meceneries m8 and city will have more than there fair share thats the way footie is these days but do i detect a bit of jealousy here! you've had it your own way for a long time in manchester but you know that city will start winning things sooner or later and the banner at castle grey-skull will soon be gone.

up to a point i agree with you..if jamie and dunne played together a few years ago, nobody would score against them...

they will start sooner or later, but the Arabs are using City as a vehicle to promote their country, but have turned City into a laughing stock. How long will they put up with this until they realise they've made a mistake? Nothing lasts forever I know, including United's dominance, but City will be left in deep shit with all these ridiculous wage bills when the arabs leave.

Will City dominate? Who knows? That's what people said about Chelsea when Abramovich went there. They did well under Mourinho but he's a top-class manager, Mankini isn't. Don't forget his league titles in Italy came when AC Milan had point docked and Juventus were relegated. How long before some rich Chinaman takes over at Everton and throws billions at them?

[REDSTAR]

i cant say its the right way to build a team,but they have the cash,and are spending it on players like its going out of fashing,byeing every player that they can...

just like chelsea done a few years back,but even chelsea have learnd the lesson you cant just keep pumping millions season after season..

let just see how the season go,s..............

[Allycuk]

I guess you support united then...
The majority of top flight pros are mercenaries,thats just the way of it now.lest we forget united spent ?25million on Wayne Rooney.
While I agree Bellamy,Dunne and Ireland had a great season,they arent good enough to win the title.
It was only a matter of time until the big money started getting thrown around and the sheik is worth 18 billion or something like that and has invested something like 17,000 million in city.Spending a few hundred million on players is like small change to him.
In football money buys success and it will buy city the epl and european cup,it's really only a matter of time!
if it ain't this year it will be next year.

[ruudvandan]

look at the players City bought last season - Barry, Santa Cruz, Adebayor, Tevez, Toure and Lescott. How many of those are good enough to win the League? Only Tevez.

This season's signings are Balotelli, Kolarov, Yaya Toure, David Silva and Boateng. Balotelli will be good if he behaves himself, and Yaya Toure and Silva are quality players, but the other 2 aren't good enough. There's no point getting rid of Dunne and Ireland if you're just gonna replace them with players like KoloToure, Lescott, Barry and probably Milner, who also aren't good enough to bring the league title. City are just spending money for the sake of it.

sure... because it's worked for Chelsea...

[alex_nguyen]

mancity does not have a manager like Mourinho so much money yet but it will not be successful in one or two years have been, i think tevez is important player for man city , he like lampard of chelsea althought he is striker

[skegsagypsy]

Far too much money in football, it's killing the game, it is obvious a cap needs to be introduced to bring back loyalty to fans and club, look at the likes of Giggs, Scholes Henrik Larrson and others of a similar loyalty, is that calibre of player lost forever due to greed ?

loyalties a two way thing though ask beckham he wouldnt have left if the manager didnt want shot

Thats true, but a managers decision to buy or sell players is based on a number of variables, a players decision in today inflated market is purely about greed ! ?200 grand a week is an obscene amount of money to give a footballer, and will eventually kill the game off !
