Christiano Ronaldo to join Man City in January

[Microdot]

does chelsea ring any bells?!?!?

waft enough money in anyones face and their opinion will be turned.

I don't think City will find it as easy as the rent boys did to attract the world's best players for a few reasons.

firstly, because of being based up north. Utd and Liverpool have found it hard to attract certain players because of this and they are both clubs with a rich history.
arsenal and the rent boys both find it easier to attract players because of being based in london.

secondly, all the shit the new owners are coming out with is already diminishing their credibility.

thirdly and most importantly, chelsea were already a top 4 team and in the champions league when they became bank rolled, meaning that players joining them were guaranteed Champions League football right away.
City are unlikely to be anywhere near the top 4 by the time of the January window, and probably wont be there come the end of the season either, so players going there will not be able to play CL football until 2010/2011 season at the earliest...

I reckon some will go, but most I think will be of the same opinion as Huntlaar.

Personally, I look forward to the new revolution at City as they'll no longer have an excuse for not being as good as Utd.....
