Brazilian star Robinho has warned the
rest of the football world that it is 'too bad' if they cannot
compete with Manchester City's riches.
The Eastlands outfit have emerged as one of the major financial
forces in football following the summer arrival of billionaire
owners the Abu Dhabi United Group.
City attempted an audacious world-record bid for AC Milan ace
Kaka during the winter transfer window, only to see the playmaker
turn down the opportunity to move to England.
Concerns have been voiced that City's wealth creates an uneven
playing field, but Robinho - who was captured in a British-record
deal from Real Madrid in September - is not concerned.
"I think this is good," Robinho told his website
www.robinhoofficial.com when asked if it was positive for
one club to emerge with the ability to buy the best talent in the
world.
"It is good for our team. Football means investment. To bring
top players it is necessary to make the investment.
"City have the resources, so this is very good for us. If the
others don't, that's too bad for them."
