"I'd never play for another Premier League club" - lie. "I want to make New York City a team that New Yorkers are proud of. And I will do my best to do that" - lie. "It is a privilege to be able to help make history here in New York City - I just canโt wait to get started and be part of it" - lie. "I joined City to stay fit before starting in the States" - lie. Even this "loan" from NYCFC to MCFC was lie, because it never was a loan. He signed contract with Man City as a free agent. As Frank said, he had 16 offers, but HE choose Manchester City. He lied to all the New Yorkers who purchased the 11000 season tickets. He lied to Chelsea fans by going to another Premier League club. Why are you so sure that his words about Chelsea didn't offer him any contract has not been another lie? He remains one of the greatest players in the club's history, but, as a person, he has disappointed many.
