I actually thought Robinho would have been a good signing at the time.  We had no one that could beat a man off the dribble.

We worked for months on that transfer, the site even had his shirt (mistakenly) for sale.

Anyway, what's really funny is that there are posters over on Bluemoon who are criticizing the deal saying that he's only gone for the money.  What short memories some people have.  The irony is up there with Maradona calling England dirty cheats.

Every club has their deeply one-eyed fans who can't see past their own my club good guys, your club bad guys filter.

Naa of course he's not nearly as good as Modric is currently and probably never will be. Still a top class deep lying playmaker though, exactly what we've been missing all these years

personally feel Golovin is more of a modric type midfielder to be fair. Jorginho is your DLP that can collect the ball from deep and start your attack with expansive passing

Gotcha. Thanks fellas.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you do not know that each of the statements I made relating to individual players is fact, not opinion. I made my assertions, then gave examples to back them up.

If you don't recognise the reality, then I think you have not drawn the right conclusions from what's been going on in the transfer market for us over recent years. In which case, I think your screen name seems particularly well chosen.

The only thing you said that is fact, is that the players made some statements about how happy they where to join City.

They would have made the same statement about Chelsea had they made a higher bid.  I think your the one that doesn't recognise reality my friend, all that's happened in the market over recent years is that we where not desperate to overpay on some players and City where, and look at these players now, they are in City starting XI because they were essential and promised 100% play time, here, we would have used them as backups, just because the players made some statements, doesn't mean shit.

Then to mock my screen name? wow lol..

Yes, that's what I just said. No need to repeat it.

Interesting speculation. Unlike the facts I've been able to give in support of my claim, I don't think you'll find one example of a player choosing Chelsea over City recently, never mind one who then made any statement along the lines of the player statements I reported.

No, initially you said that you made a post of "fact" that City were superior and more attractive than Chelsea, as I pointed out, the only thing in there that was fact, was the players made a few statements about being happy to join City. It is not a fact that City are superior to Chelsea in any way at this moment in time.

The statements I made are there if you wish to re-read them. If you then want to post again to acknowledge that you misunderstood that's up to you.

Edit: That's a bit sharp. Let me help you out. I pointed out that I had made my assertion, that's a claim not a fact, but that all the statements I made relating to players were facts which I had given to support my assertion. I said this in response to you saying none of what I had said was factual. You were obviously wrong to say that so I clearly identified for you those parts of what I said which were facts. What more do you want from me?

That's very unclassy in a fair debate. Doesn't matter who is right or wrong.

They are just trying to save face cause ADL said he wants to join Chelsea over Manchester City.

@OhForAGreavsie @dreamcfc I think its best to get back on topic, the player seems to have swung in our direction for a variety of reasons. Every player makes the decision they think is best for themselves. City are on top of the league at the moment, we have been there as well. Lets just wait for Jorginho to be official then celebrate having 2 immense players in our midfield.

OK, I accept that and apologise for this comment.

[manpe 10,861]

If Jorginho really wanted to join City like some unknowns are saying, then he would have. City wanting a player and the player wanting City = they get him. Additional €10m or so is irrelevant to City, if they are unwilling to match the bid then one or the other is not interested enough.

[Valdo 583]

I'm suprised no pictures of him arriving at the airport have surfaced. Surely some people must have been waiting to spot him? When the Morata transfer broke people shoved a mic in his face almost instantly.

Probably taken straight from the plane to a waiting car.
