Man City

[Ryddel]

....any northern Chelsea tbh im still lol'in @ Robinho and Man City shit if they actually do good next year then boy it may even be a top 5 and even harder for the best of the rest but they will lose all respect ala Chelsea

[6]

Even with the money I still doubt they will break into the top 4

[Ryddel]

Tbh this should be noted down as the day the EPL means nothing any more, pretty much everyteam has some foreign billionaire is waste and when teams like City try and sign Robinho, Ronnie, Villa, Gomez it's a joke tbh.

[Xtra P]

Aparently their new owners have bottomless pockets, they will be a top 4 team very soon

[Ryddel]

10x richer than Abramovich which basically is a bottomless pit

Watch all these players move to Man City because of their "tradition", "history" and "ambition"

the usual that these new players get told by the PR men ' these clubs

[Ryddel]

LMAO

Robinho has major ambition and will need a new wallet now he's at man city

[Xtra P]

I think it got to a point where he just wanted to leave Madrid, they treated him like a punk

[Quality Control]

well man city has always been a major club with good support

some next hilarious hate for chelsea

[Nine Bar]

lol at Madrids Calderon, he said: Its ovious Robinho isnt moving there for sporting reasons." cant believe they got this sorta p.

Another team villa gotta fight off, is inevitable they'll be top 4 very soon

[Top Lad]

R.I.P English football. Its becoming a joke now, surley transfer caps should be implemented in the next few years. Its impossible for lower teams to compete. Next season i would be very suprised if City aint top 4 at the expense of Arsenal or liverpool.

truth hurts brah

Money does not equal success, it will take city years to break into the top 4 or 5 places.

Why did chelsea go from scraping champions league to double leagues winners in such a short space of time then? It doesn't always guarentee success however it delivers most of the time if you have enough

[DTI]

We already qualified for the champions league the year we were taken over. Plus we had played uefa cup twice and were in the champions league 1999 aswell. Plus we already had the spine of our team in place, i.e Terry and Lampard.

[Nine Bar]

Chelsea went from shit to rich and started winning trophies with one of the worlds best managers.

City are rich have about 4 very good players in the whole squad, and a over rated manager.

Next year we'll see what happens

manchester City boss Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim is considering a $240 million bid for Manchester United superstar Ronaldo during the next transfer window in January, Arabian Business can reveal.

Al Fahim – who through Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment has taken control of the club – has outlined his “dream team” in an interview to be published in Arabian Business magazine on Sunday.

The Hydra Properties CEO, who has already beaten Chelsea to the signature of Brazilian star Robinho in a $61mn swoop, revealed that snatching Ronaldo from arch rivals Manchester United is the top priority.


“Ronaldo has said he wants to play for the biggest club in the world, so we will see in January if he is serious.

"Real Madrid were estimating his value at $160 million but for a player like that, to actually get him, will cost a lot more, I would think $240 million.

"But why not? We are going to be the biggest club in the world, bigger than both Real Madrid and Manchester United.”

In the interview, conducted moments after the historic signing of the deal to buy the club, Al Fahim also reveals his wish list – Liverpool’s Fernando Torres and Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas are also seen as potential targets.

“We’re not just going to spend money on anyone, but if we can get the biggest players in the world, and of course if the manager wants them, then we will get them,” he said.

It is thought a transfer fund totalling $450 million has been allocated for the next two seasons, by which time is “expected” that the club will be as successful on the pitch as Manchester United and Chelsea.

smh

Its a pharce

I don't know why Mark hughes is so happy, he will undoubtably be the first casualty, they will go for a manager with a spanish or italian surname

[Top Lad]

Ermmm Chelsea ...

30 mil on Robinho is just a sign of things to come.

They seem to be quite happy with Hughes.

[Xtra P]

They seem to be quite happy with Hughes.

For now.

[Eric Cantona]

He's 99% gone, this Robinho is his Man City career gone.

These new owners in a year time will be wanting the Champions League Trophy brought to Man City and Hughes will be like give me more money then, and these owners will be like, bye Welsh cunt.

[Eric Cantona]

Still........

Top 4 about to become a 5 team dog fight within next years.

Even though it's scum, good for Manchester having 2 massive teams.

[Quality Control]

they need to introduce a transfer cap fast

[Xtra P]

they need to introduce a transfer cap fast

Definitely!

Otherwise things are going to get silly.

[Ryddel]

Tbh if they introduce a transfer cap for EVERY league in Europe then that would be good otherwise pretty much the teams from Europe without the t'fer cap will just outbid all the British teams anyway, and so all your Ronaldo's Berbatov's Villa's Fabregas's will just go to Germany Italy or Spain.

[Eric Cantona]

They wouldn't be able to transfer cap just the Premier League anyway, it would have to be World Football rule

[Anonymous]

Reports on SSN suggest they bid £50mill for Torres.

[Jackyzuckerberg]

This Saudi apparently has so much p he makes Abramovich look like a corner shop owner.

Lol at Man U fans. I hate the stinking bastards, will be very nice to see them suffer a bit more from competition. Man City fans are the only real football fans in Manchester.

[Arkan]

Man City fans are the only real football fans in Manchester.

When i lived there and unless it was a match day u never saw united supporters with the shirt on.

I did live in man city heartland. but even in city centre, they where too shook to wear the kit.

Prob for the best, my mate got beaten up by some city supporters for being a bolton fan.

you also had massive debts which meant ranieri was on a shoe string and was only able to afford the likes of de lucas. Without ambramivich chelsea had the potential to fall down to mid table or even worse
