My opinion is that City's vision is to have 2 quality/proven players in each position, so much so that, if one gets injured, the repear-cushions are minimal (in terms of impact on the team). So I guess that's where we differ because I still think Sagna is very good. Past his best, yeah maybe, but is still a top right back. As I said, it will be similar to the Kolarov/Clichy situation on the other side. That's why I said it was a good move for them as he's got enough exprience and quality to fit in seamlessly when required.

As for the FFP thing, I'm sure they're on the case with the best accountants out there and this won't be their only 100k+/week signing this summer. Will probably be 3 more.

Yep, our opinions differ.

Well, our opinions are at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

Fair play.

City fan in work said their American club New York City, could buy a player for silly money, then loan him to Man City to circumnavigate FFP.

Doubt it. You can't be registered for 3 clubs in a year so they wouldn't be able to sign then loan to a different club. I could be mistaken though

It'd be blatant cheating anyway,no way other clubs would stand for it.

Manchester City are prepared to force midfielder James Milner, 28, and defender Micah Richards, 25, into seeing out their contracts, despite the pair wanting to leave.

Aren't young players bought and loaned out immediately for experience quite regularly?

Cheating! won't stand for it!? like we aren't standing for back dated sponsorship deals and cosy little chats with FIFA aimed at 'helping' Citeh meet financial regulations!

My arse!

Clubs with the sort of wealth City have will always get what they want pay for.

Football governance is ****, clubs like Mdrid have been breaking the rules for decades, likwise it will be with Citeh!

Todays Mail Online:
City won't be bullied into £300,000-a-week Toure deal
Yaya Toure wants a new £300,000-a-week deal to stay at Manchester City.
Toure’s ‘people’ believe he should be on at least the same wages Wayne Rooney at Manchester united, if not more.
That is why, they launched a PR campaign last week.
City want to retain Toure but my source tells me they won’t be bullied into offering the 31-year-old a new mega deal.

You'd think they could do with the money saved by offloading them.
