This is nothing to shout about... Their contract ended
and United didn't renew it so Sporting look for another offer
and City came in... It's not like they are going to produce a
Ronaldo very year or every ten years... They produce more Nanis
than Ronnys... lol.
And even if they had another above average player coming up,
they are going to priced him very high like in the case of
Veloso...
United were very keen on Veloso but they priced him so
high that the partnership is really of no used... And lucky United
didn't paid the $20m... or he might turn out to be another Nani...
lol.
Present day partnership is really of not much used...
Football is changing. If City can pay a lot more, what's the point
of having first option unless you are able to match their offer
right? Or it will only be they calling to tell you someone else bid
higher so are you willing to go higher?
So when you think of it, why bother to stay in a
partnership and still must help them in some financial ways? Just
to get first option? Its not worth it anymore... They got their
Ronaldo, time to move on...
