i) He didn't sign, clearly he had doubtsOriginally Posted by LDG
With the greatest respect, you're either trying desperately not to concede the point, or you're just stupid
i) Offer on the table, well before contract expiry
ii) 90k. Much more than he was worth
iii) He'd done nothing of note to deserve that
iv) He himself said we were the best team last year. Why would he say that, and not want to stay with the so called "best team"
v) He was part of the collapse
So. Forget the 250k. What was it he wanted....I think it was parity with Cesc if rumour is to be believed. We said fuck off, and rightly so.
But as soon as a whiff of MORE than Cesc gets is on the table, he reverses his stance from "we're the best team", "I want parity with Cesc" and says he's off, it;s not about money, it's about ambition
with the greatest respect to you Zimm (and you make a lot of valid points) you're completely wrong here.
He wants the money. It's all it's about.
ii) Debatable looking at salaries at moment and his performance last season (for part of it at least, also Man U interested)
iii) Neither have a lot of players on that amount, didn't he win an award last season at least?
iv) I don't recall that, but words are words and often said in the heat of the moment, Bendtner etc were saying all kinds of sh*t and yet want to leave now.
v) As I've already said it's a team game, the manager is to blame for this IMO.
We'll have to disagree on this, for a start the Man U rumour was stronger yet he could get more at City, this alone shows he wants trophies.
What was and wasn't offered and was said is hard to gauge, but what's clear is there's little harmony at the club (you can see that from the things players have said and done), why would you want to stay with us if Man U come knocking?
