Big names don’t guarantee big trophies
There is no doubt that Citeh will have some big names enter the frey, but I can’t see them being able to keep a huge squad full of top players happy at Eastlands….United have always had big names, but the “supporting cast” was always top notch and came mostly from within and grew up in the ranks…Giggs, Scholesy, Beckham, the Nevilles all played their part alonside stalwarts such as Denis Irwin, Pallister, Bruce,…put that with the bargain Cantona’s and Sheringham and Ole et all and then sprinkle in a few mega transfers of Rooney, Ferdinand, Van the man and Tevez and you have your success…Who do Citeh have to compliment their 35 million man other than Elano?
Shaun Wright Phillips?
Stevie Ireland?
Your havin a laugh!

From a life long city fan of 34 years…mainly living in Utd’s shadow this is the greatest news ever!

I have said since it happend to Chelsea it was only a matter of time and once we got our new stadium I knew they would come!

Money doesn’t just buy trophies…but it gives you a chance…other than the big 4, the chances are few and far between for any other club to win anything (probably why everyone so happy to see Pompy do so well, great result)…However, any fan of any Premier league club would welcome a takover of their club if it meant they could buy the best, compete with on the worlds biggest stage and against the richest of clubs…it’s just human nature, i.e. to look out for number one…I don’t think it will spoil the premier league at all but I do feel sorry for smaller clubs that really can’t compete such as Bolton…but hey, the only success I have really seen in all my years is one memoral 5-1 win against Utd and some 2nd divion (now 1st division) promotions…hence the only time we ever had some good results was when we had been relagated…well maybe now, we can start pushing Utd around especially as Fergie will be off soon…I wonder if he wants a fresh challenge…maybe he will get a decent wage to stay on at city…lol

HAHA, sorry for the double post, but I had to share this one – the Guardian is reporting that City plans to bid 135m GBP for Ronaldo in January… God, I hope they do.

It gets better – they plan to make “at least 18 signings”, including Fabregas, Torres, Villa, Henry, and Fat Ronaldo (go figure).

This is going to get interesting – either it’ll change the dynamic at the top of the table, or it’ll be good for a few belly laughs – maybe both!
