£12 million? That's a bit steep.

You forget, it's Manchester City. They will be the Chelsea of 2004 - without a league title.

Not arguing with thatm but it sort of conflicts with his 'ambitious' reasons for wanting to leave last year - especially by joining a European-free club. I'd be very suprised if Manchester City passed Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or Manchester United next season. |

Man City have already said they will be very active in the transfer market,I can certainly see Arsenal being caught.

Word was that he was getting stupid £'s a week, he'd been promised that he will play all games he is fit for next season and they've shown him the list of players they intend on signing this summer. I guess Benitez's squad rotation didn't seem so appealing to him and I doubt he got past the £'s per week

Surely that's just like opening up player search on Football Manager and sorting by value? |

It seems like a sideways, if not backwards, step for him, but for the huge amounts of money. Hardly a surprise though - "top footballer in moving clubs for financial gain shock".

Or "Man moves to better paid job" shock. I don't see why footballers are expected to live by different standards. It'd be nice if they did and all, but I don't see why everyone gets all moralistic about it. |

I wasn't trying to moralise about footballers (although it did sound like it!) - was trying to make your point. Although there is an argument that the different between a wage at Villa and at Man City, while a big one, can't alter your life too much. After all, what can't you buy on £40,000 a week. Bet he's never been refused a credit card! |
