This is true but where would City be had it not been for the money? Four years ago City finished the season losing 8-1 at Middlesbrough with Benjani and Darius Vassell up front. Fair play to them. We non-Prem fans, we tend to go all pure and righteous when teams like Fulham, Reading, Wigan, Blackburn et al buy their modern success but if truth be told it's mostly down to frustration and jealously.

You can say the same for united think of how many players they have bought. Pretty much all of them take away Beckham, The Nevilles Scholes, Giggs, Evans Smalling, Fletcher, black dude with the ginger hair at Sunderland, I know i am missing a few, almost all of their players have been bought.

Carey 6 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Great finish although I thought QPR were excellent as far as defending goes. This will be great for english football at the top level, Manure will realise they have some total garbage on their books (Fabio/Rafael, Evans, Carrick, Anderson etc, etc) and strengthen, Chelski will replace the old guard, Tottenham & Arsenal will improve.

Interestingly though Man City have one the best break through of youth products in the premier league. I read somewhere they have produced more premier league home grown/youth players than anyone. Obviously not all are at in their squad, but players like Ireland, Onouha have all been sold on making the club profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might have included the bench as well though Whatever the figures, it is a bit rich for Man U fans to acuse City of buying the title. Until fairly recently, and for much of the last 20 years, Man U have had the financial muscle in the premier league and were able to "buy" the title year after year, as their buying power was greater than anyone elses. , In the last few years sugar daddy owners have enabled other clubs to compete in the transfer market and Chelsea and now Man City have shown that this can bring sucess. Steve Landown's wealth pails into insignificance compared to owners at the top end of the game but Pardew's sucess this season shows that a competitive premier league team can be put together without having to break the bank ( in premier league terms, of course). On the other hand, Dalgleish has shown that spending big is no guarantee of sucess either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So only really 1 home grown talent difference in the starting line up. Rumours are that Sturridge could be going back to Man City, so that could be their 2nd either way, Man U have stopped producing real top quality talent.

Kompany has always been good, still can't believe they got him for 6 million. Hart A gamble but not a big one at 600k from Shrewsbury, I will say this is probably their best buy of the lot. A keeper like that can save you enough points in a season to make a difference. Silva, a luxury that that City can afford to have, brilliant or frustrating.

Guest ournicky Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Bolton will be strong next year I think. Coyle will be a good manager in the championship and alot of his players will probably stay. Bolton have 11 players out of contract, it will be a rebuild job, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ournicky Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 What an amazing end to the football season! Absloute delight to watch!! Great to see Manure get what they deserved well done Man City, a little dissapointed that QPR did not get the drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
