Manchester City

I know this isn't a rumour as such, but thought it would be worth posting. Move it if you want :)

From ESPN Soccernet.

Manchester City are trying to offload close to 30 players, ranging from internationals to juniors, according to some of the world's leading football agents.

Roberto Mancini's squad is bulging at the seams and with the announcement of his 25-man squad on the horizon, the Italian boss is determined to trim the playing personnel.

A Soccernet source revealed: "From first team squad players, through to the juniors and the kids, the club have so many players on their books, it is incredible.

"The club are devoting a lot of their time contacting clubs to place players on loan for a year, or to sell them."

Perhaps a little out of our league, Dedryck Boyata, the young belgian center back.

He look convinving in the cup games he played for City last year, but we dont really need a center back in all fairness.

Man City went mad with money and now every single club can mug them off in terms of paying over the odds for players.

Few poor signings:

Santa Cruz - 18m lol. Tevez and Adebayor were signed but they felt the need to sign SC? It was clear it would never work with Robinho + Bellamy in the squad as well.

Lescott - 24m! & the way they went about the transfer was poor.

Bellamy - Although he is a good player, 14m was way over his value.

Yaya Toure - 220k a week? Beyond ridiculous. 28m? Barca must be pissing themselves. Disgrace to football.

Kolo Toure - 16m. Not ridiculous but still..

Jo - 19m. Major flop.

Robinho - 32.5m. Real Madrid president said he's off his head, few lively games but we'll see how he fairs under Mancini this season.

Though it is only a matter of time before City buy themselves Premier League & Champions League titles, it's frustrating how they have gone about it. Great signing in Tevez, the only player who can justify his transfer fee along with Given.

I dont think this will be limited to just Man city, there will be a number of clubs with excessive numbers of players who they will want to farm out on loan due to the new rules.

the problem is though that they can supplement them with under 21's outside of the squad so chances are many of the young players will be left to rot just incase loads of players get injured, which wont help their development really as they young players who have previously been out on loan will just be kept in reserve.

You can't blame the clubs entirely. Its up to the young players to say they want to leave and take a few steps down the ladder to work their way up again. Unfortunately first team football and playing for England is not the ultimate goal for young players anymore, its cracking a five figure weekly pay packet for the first time.

Besides, any player can go out on loan with the parent club holding the ability to recall at any time. So unless Man City planned on getting 30 of their god knows how many 'main' players injured and were then unlucky enough to have a shed load of youngsters break their legs while out on loan, I doubt they will be too hesitant to let people go.

Man City is going to go pear shaped sooner or later. It has to, because it's an absolute joke the way they conduct themselves. To be honest, football is in general. I used to say they deserve what they get because thats the money involved and they're good enough to demand it. It's a specialised job and specialised workers demand specialised pay, you wouldn't pay a solicitor minimum wage would you? In fact I had to do take that side in an argument in an English class at school several years ago and argued that £30k a week was acceptable :crylaugh: . But now it's all beyond a joke and absolutely takes the piss. Yaya Toure gets paid in 4 days more than what my whole family earns in a year. To put it in perspective, i need to spend 3-4 years studing CIMA part time at Uni whilst working 38 hours a week just to get to £35k a year. In that time Mr Toure would have had near on £46 million in wages, before tax of course.....

I have no idea where that mini rant came from but I feel better for it.

Yes sorry alexi is right.

I've tried a few jobs in my time and it turns out sitting on my arse in an office isn't as boring as you might think!

Lets have a cheeky loan bid for Craig Bellamy, then pay him some decent wages.

Bellamy is on a reported £90000 a week at Man City that's like £5million a year or more than the total wage bill for our starting 11 every week.

so defining decent wages between Bellamy and Leicester is probably about £80000 a week out
