Thats awful lot of money. They are rushing to be in the top 4!!! GL
Still with all that signings, from all the Arabs – Steven Ireland is the player I like the most
its stupid how much manchester city are spending, its ruining the game!!!
they wouldn’t be anywhere near the top of the table if they didn’t have all that money!!!
just look at united, chelsea and arsenal, spent not even £100m and are still some of the top teams in the world!!
