It’s funny, I remember back to middle of January, when Manchester City made that astonishing £107 million bid for Kaka. It seemed as though everyone in the football world had something negative to say about City’s audacious bid to sign the former FIFA World Player of the Year.
Michel Platini was threatening to ban City from entering any European competitions if they were just going to spend ridiculous sums of money on players. Platini’s doesn’t seem to be threatening to ban Real Madrid from entering European competitions even though they are now the ones actually spending the ridiculous sums on big name players.
I don’t know why this gets my so annoyed, but it does. Maybe it’s because I have been a City fan for quite some time and I hate to see my team criticised. I understand that City are bound to be criticised for spending £30 million plus on players, however I don’t understand why Real Madrid aren’t criticised for spending £50 million plus on players.
So those who say that Manchester City are ruining the transfer market are just plain idiots because City haven’t even spent £30 million this summer. Real have spent £180 million.
What do you think? Comments below please.
I know it’s that time of the year, when strange rumours begin emanating in the media, however I have never seen a stranger rumour than the one which can be found in today’s Daily Star.
The paper has today claimed that Aston Villa are set to make a move for Wigan defender Titus Bramble. As you can probably tell from the headline, I’m not a massive fan of Bramble’s, in fact, I think he’s one of the worst players to ever play in the Premier League.
So why on earth would Villa manager Martin O’Neill want to sign the one and only Titus Bramble? Comments below please.
