Eh, its about money. If it were about winning he could've told City he'd play for the £200k pw he's getting and they could roll the excess salary into the fee so they could offer something that weren't insulting.It’s as much about trophies and records with him. And I don’t hold that desire against him. It’s what all players and fans want.
He was loved here. That meant nothing to him at all. He wants his move and has done everything he can to force it. He has done that interview with Neville before last season finished. He has disrespected Nuno, his team mates and the fans by coming back late from his break and making sure he was unable to join the squad for pre season prep/ for this match. Someone else said it (apologies to whoever it was that I don’t remember) - he’d have been lining up for that shower today if his move had gone through.
As it turns out we excelled without him today, but his antics could quite easily have distracted/sabotaged the teams preparations for the game.
If there is any way back for him, it’s a fucking long one from how a lot of fans feel about him right now.
They're footballers. Its always about the money.
