Oh please Ian. Whateva with the no one will resect them­ @#$%. So how did Man U win their titles. DId they­ develop Ronaldo, Rooney, Ferdinard, Berbertov, Nani­ Teves and Vidic? Or did they go buy these guys like­ everyone else did?
I mean of the top 4 teams, nThey all­ went out and bught supersars, and City is trying to do­ the same. And enough already with the Six strikers­ talk. I mean Most of the old guys were there last year­ and didn't play so why would they now. We will have­ 5 frwards if everyone signs the dotted lines. Robihno,­ Eto'o, Tevez, Cruz and Bellamy. 3 start probably,­ Tevez Robinho, Eto. Cruz, and Bellamy will get in as­ subs and fill in during injury. Only Eto and cruz are­ out and out strikers, the rest are fowards who can play­ wide. Once this is done we start bringing in defenders!­ Lescott, Maicon anotheer CD and we should be good to go­ for the season

its all @~$%@ @#$£%@*% united nd all da other big clubs­ can spend willy nilly but nt city thats far i think­ that all the top 4 r just runin scared cause the boys­ is in town now

Lets face it people, City will be a force in time to­ come. I'm a BLUE and can remember playing Wrexham,­ Grimsby, Oxford and all not too long ago. Every team­ buys to try to improve so why all the negative stuff­ about us. Are the big 4 running scared? Sounds like.­ What's up with you people? Ever since dear old Jack­ at Blackburn bought the Premiership the benchmark was­ set. Don't knock us for doing what every single one­ of you would like to do - just enjoy when Rudolph the­ Red Nose Reindeer and The Spanish Waiter start­ whingeing

So Man City will be­ Given,Bridge,Richards,Dunne,Ireland,Robinho,Santa­ Cruz,Bellamy,Jo,Tevez and Eto next season????????????­ or do they somehow plan on keeping 6 strikers happy by­ massive rotation.Seems to me Man City are just going­ for big name players rather than filling the positions­ they need to strengthen.My bet is 7th for them as I­ feel the big 4 will still be the same and Spurs,Everton­ and Villa are more settled clubs/Teams.

So what's new?? The English league has been bought­ since King Kenny fulfilled Jack Walkers dream.

oh dear stewart, don't know a lot do you?!
The­ debts are in Uniteds name, not the Glazers!

Well its how it is......if they have the money why not­ spending it, I personally don't like Man city, but­ obviously it seem like they starting to build up, and­ for me is just better for the premier league as more­ teams will be fighting for the title if not for the­ champions league spot, hopefully Arsenal wont lose­ that. Come on Arsenal!!!!!

never a dull moment with city. why oh why would you­ spend on eto'o when you have robinho, cruz, and­ possibly tevez. you can only field so many forwards and­ the moment one of the, presumably four, has to sit out­ it will cause a stir. city have money, but are lacking­ foresight.

This @#$% is a bit like trying to get into an 'Old­ Boys' club, you can almost hear the club secretary­ refusing to let us in, "Old money only, no new­ upstarts allowed!!" A bit rich (no pun intended)­ when Real can spend 80 million on 'Glass­ Ankles' and we're moaned at for spending 32.5­ million. Of course City are going to offer high wages­ to try and attract players, it's how you progress­ to the next level and while some will refuse the offers­ others will sign on the dotted line. As for winning the­ Premiership (cries of 'heresy' and 'burn­ them') that's not on the agenda, a top 6 finish­ is though.

Comment 213 you contradict yourself.

You say they­ have 'unlimited money' which is almost­ literally the case, however you go on to say 'they­ can't sustain such high spending'. Even with­ unlimited money? They probably make enough per day to­ pay for 10 Samuel eto's.

I just got a feeling that somewhere down the line all­ this mega spending is going to bight some clubs hard,­ its the honeymoon period at the moment but if the­ champs league trophy isnt won in 3 years the money plug­ will be pulled, Chelsea must be getting close to that­ position Roman wants that cup and if they dont produce­ he will make sure his Russian club do, take and good­ look at Leeds and also count how many recent prem clubs­ are with them in div1, overspending and no trophies =­ big @#$%.

213 - I presume you are not a Chelski fan ?

all the s***y city fans start bleeting coz they have a­ few quid in the bank, what happens when they win f***­ all, they will say ''we never wanted these­ players in the first place, blue scum!!! You wnt win­ f***ing s**t next season

so many bitter people on here.

Nobody has moaned about­ the elite clubs spending all the money they have for­ years.
I think a lot of anxiety creping into the­ so-called Sky4 teams now, soon enough someone is going­ to lose their Champions League spot, watch feathers fly­ then!!
Good on you City, go for it.

good on man city its alright 4 man u to spend big and­ they dont like it because all they players want 2 leave

man united fans are so envious of city for all the they­ got.hey united scums do you really think wayne the­ monkey boy rooney will lift you up this season?i doubt­ it!!!!!! yah you got money because you sold ronaldo and­ how bout that debt? hahahahahaha

The big problem city will face is that they will be in­ a no win situation. If they do not win the Premiership­ (2nd will not be good enough) people will say they have­ spent all that money and still cannot win the title. If­ they do win it, no one will respect their achievements­ as they will have simply bought success on a scale no­ has ever done before. It's as simple as that.

shandu_93 suck my balls its ok for real madrid and­ united and all other teams to make big offers but not­ city get a grip @#$%
