DonKey Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I can see his face when they do the photo call. 'I thought you lot were minted....? What's this le coq sportif shite all about then?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy the blue Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Robinho confirmed City player. Didn't see that coming if you'd have gone into the bookies this morning what bloody odds would you have got on that one Jamie, 10000/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonKey Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I knew he must've been desperate, a feelig echoed by the Real board. "The fact he has accepted an offer from Manchester City says that he is not going for sporting reasons," Calderon told Veo Television Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummieblue Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Very jealous but cant help but have a smile about the fact Chelsea were selling Robinho shirts on their website, one reason why Real were not happy with them, bet they will get a few product returns tomorrow!!

xavier Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I think Liverpool still have just enough financial clout to stay in contention at the moment. Hardly. Think its either us or Arsenal who'll lose out if City come through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprooly Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Its sort of like that one time in footy manager when i made a custom team put them in the EPl instead of derby and had a transfer budget of 800 million lol that game didnt last long lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come the January window they will buy who the hell they want as they will make an offer you cannot refuse. If everything goes right we could get a new ground out of them On a more serious note the hiked up petrol prices are helping fund this kitty I'm sure.

Scottish Red Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hardly. Think its either us or Arsenal who'll lose out if City come through. I have to disagree there. We have two muppets for owners but they at least have a bit of money. Arsenal need a new buyer and soon. Not to mention Wenger has gone mad and refuses to sign any new players. We may get DIC eventually too...Please, God, please can the Yanks accept DIC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raccyboy Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 seriously may get some stick for this, but fuck it, I'd be fuckin upset if we'd been bought by this lot.......man city are officially no longer a football club, just a big fat oil-funded investment fund that happens to invest in footballers. for all the shit we've been through this summer at least it's an honest living. imagine going to city of manchester stadium and being surrounded by 40,000 of these guys' closest friends and family all wearing gowns instead instead of some topless, pissed, pot-bellied manc -- just not the same. they can have their billions, give me a reserve bench full of the academy kids.

MikeO Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 No stick, I agree. Always more special for me when Ossie, or Vaughan, or any product of the youth system scores. More so if they're a born Blue. I'll wash my mouth out with soap later, but that feeling when Rooney scored against Arsenal to break their thirty game unbeaten run!?!? Priceless, beyond the reach of the richest Arab's money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with ya there. I mean I want investment in Everton as much as the rest of us but nothing like this I just hope the city fans are ready to be hated as much as if not more than Chelsea, with any trophy they manage to win from now on not being looked at in the same light!!!

It seems that the United fans have never been quieter and the Chelsea fans are shitting themselves that Abramovich will leave now he is a little fish, has some bonuses then The running joke in Manc town is that Robinho was bought with money made from 70,000 United fans travelling from down south, about twenty gallons each:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You mean Manchester, right?" queried a reporter. "Yeah, Manchester, sorry!" answered a bashful Robinho. Real commitment to the cause .

marcopaulo Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 your right its no fun and not special at all as there is no talent in writing a cheque! hughes will be rubbing his hands as will the city fans but as you say money can't buy moments like when rooney scored or vaughany scored against palace! we'll still piss it into top 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 I'm very glad we didn't spend £20million on Jo, he looks shite.
