There is nothing from the Chelsea camp because they were well and truly embarressed by Madrid. We have no idea at the moment if we matched City's bid! It is very likely though that we did and they turned it down because they did not want to sell to us.

What is it with us and transfers.

We either pay over the odds for players or get taken for a ride. We're a fucking charity case for everyone else in Europe, paying players wages while on loan and folding when a player wants away.

Its about time we toughened up and stopped letting clubs make a mockery out of us.

First on the agenda is getting shafted of Kenyon. Once again he has made us look foolish with his ego coming to the forefront. He was as cocky as you can get. Cant stand the man.

Whilst everyone seems to be blaming Real Madrid or Kenyon over the Robinho farce, I cant help but wonder whether our inability to complete the deal could be rooted more closely to international politics.

The UKs tough stance on Russia over the Georgia crisis could well be making it difficult for Roman to invest in our club.

He has in the past shown himself to be very astute at avoiding conflict with the powers that be in the Kremlin, so I personally wouldnt be surprised to see him step back from &/or disinvest from Chelsea if tensions continue to mount between the West & Russia over foreign policy.

[DavidEU 2,023]

Come on guys, stop being ridiculous.

It's no one's fault. Kenyons told the budget he has to spend, it's not his choice. If the club didnt want to pay £34m for a player that would be a HUGE risk, then who can blame them.

According to SSN last night, Real Madrid would have sold him to anyone but Chelsea.

What does the tensions between the West & Russia over foreign policy have to do with Chelsea?

Real Madrid for being complete twats.

Kenyon for being too overconfident

Scolari for not having a back-up player for Robinho.

[Kez 2,727]

There should always be a back up

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

I think scolari has always said he is someone he would like but he would be ok without him, i'm sure he, and I, and all of you, trust our players to do the business. Am happy Sinclair will be included more and Di Santo

[Ollie 4,400]

I spose Chelsea are to blame for being on Real Madrids cases constant for so long. Kitbag too for producing Robinho shirts in the online megastore too lol, that pissed real off. If we had offered 50m they wouldve still sold him to man city for 32m. We just pissed em off.

Are we really pissed off? I aint because he has shown hes only interested in the money. Why the fuck would he wanna play for man city over real madrid or Chelsea? Man City will never win the prem and will never qualify for the champions league. Robinho will regret this move and in 2 years time, he'll want out.

The thing that pisses me off is that we bought no-one in and our squad is pretty bare. 1 consistant winger (joey) and 1 (fairly) consistant striker (drogs) in the whole squad..... i think we're in a bit of trouble.

[riks12 3]

what the hell robinho wants at mancity ?

he should try to flee there and come to the Bridge.

there are defniatly no title-options at mancity , are there ?

wasted time for him, Madrid is such a crap club selling their players to another crap club, just because they don´t like the better choice

i was really surprised when i read the news on pl.com....it was just like :

Man City new bosses put pretty high expections to Hughes. They want City to win Champions League in 3 year plan lol. o_0

And said they want 18 new players at cost of £30 million each.

[Ollie 4,400]

lol yeah, i heard they have £800m to spend on players

[warnie_666 1,081]

lol yeah, i heard they have £800m to spend on players

Now you will hear all sorts of rubbish about Manc City.

[.Cee 50]

We definately only need 1 player. But we DO need that 1 player:

Cech, Cudicini, Hilario

Bosingwa, Belletti, Terry, Carvalho, Alex, Ivanovic, Cole, Bridge (Ferreira???)

Mikel, Essien, Lampard, Ballack, Deco

Cole, Malouda, Kalou (Sinclair)

Drogba, Anelka, Di Santo

23 players not including Sinclair and including the keepers. We definately need another forward option.

Add Paim to that list, too?

That is being stupidly optimistic!! Man City serving up a reality dream team in three years

If that happens, I will purposly piss in a beer glass and drink it

Well, why not if the new owners can pay?

[chrismada9 1,948]

Yeah, signing a shitload of superstars for gawd knows how much money, expecting them to play their best for the club and as a result, win them a few titles... wait no sorry... "buy" them a few titles...

Remember what they said to us when Abramovich first bought Chelsea? Many said that whoever we signed, would they gel together? Would they cope with the English game? A lot of players didn't because of those reasons, they had never even played along with the players before, not to mention that the kind of game they would be expecting was going to be different.

As I have said many times, too much money in football makes it seem like mockery and an auction.
