well they can fuck off too... except that I don't hear many players saying that they've dreamed of playing for Chelsea or City since they were born
the players being lured to City are purely tempted by the dollar, at least Ronaldo's claim to play for RM is thinly disguised as love for the club too (how 'bout you play for them for free Ron?)
Barry is the prime example at City... as is Tevez, although its more his agent than him - (that's a different matter altogether) - either way Real are suddenly scuppering every deal going because if a player has shown the slightest interest in RM, then if another club comes in, its like, well Real are interested so how about paying three times over the odds...??!?!?
they paid too much for Ronaldo, and Kaka and Benzema
Real buying 4 or 5 players at all over inflated prices in one season, like City are doing is going to alert everyone to the fact and then players get over valued
United have paid high prices before but that was partly because of who we were not just because we had the money, with these current deals its all about who has the money to spend and nothing else...United have £80m to spend in reality but Fergie doesn't want to spend it on one over priced teenage wannabe that's gonna fuck off to Real at the first sign of greatness...
I'm glad Fergie has said enough's enough (even if people think its a bit rich coming from him)
apart from Man City no one in the premiership has paid the prices, and therefore its still a fairly level playing field, so far... fuck Europe or Real, i'm glad Ron's gone for the dollar, and Tevez for that matter.
The trouble will be if RM's plan works and that they win La Liga and the Champions League... let's hope they and City fail and prove that spending big all the time doesn't work...
30 years ago Trevor Francis went for £999,999 now look at it.
