Yep!

Finally confirmed - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...em/7592272.stm

Let's hope he's worth it.

yep, makes both manchester teams happy tonight

Charlie_Bubble · 02-09-2008, 01:17

So, Robinho to City and Berbatov to Utd. One for almost Ã‚Â£32 mill + a player and the other for Ã‚Â£32.5 mill. I know which one I'd prefer and it's not the lazy, sulking Bulgarian!

But surely even non-United fans will get pleasure out of knowing a team managed to outbid Roman?

I was shocked to see that one go through, couldn't believe it. I totally believe the new owners when they say they want to make Man City the biggest club in the UK/Europe/World. You just need to visit Dubai to see some of the crazy construction schems they have in place to see how money is no object to them.

Money can buy you a lot of players, a lot of world class players, but putting them together into one, none world class team is a whole different thing and I think the new owners are in for a big shock at just how hard it really is, even when you have 'unlimted' money.

sherer · 02-09-2008, 10:55

I think the Robinho deal is more one where the agent just wanted to the money. I don't think Robinho has an clue about the English league and the agent has said City are a great club and he can win things there. Players only listen to agents and this is the end result.

Kymmy · 02-09-2008, 10:57

Yep, players can be great, but unless the person running the team knows how to make the team great it can be a major flop.

Well Mr. Hughes is unproven but has got potential, also as long as the new owners don't do the same as a certain Thai did on Sven and actually give him the promised 3 years I think that there's a chance....

Sorry my bad Abu Dhabi --- but I do believe they have major developments across the entire UAE. And as far as I know, Abu Dhabi is richer than Dubai.
