Manchester City Spend £240 Million On Strikers! by norrisman: 2:09pm On Jul 30, 2011 |
Manchester City have spent £240 million (excluding wages) on strikers since 2008. At present they have 7 strikers on their books who cost a total of £190 million. In my opinion this is ridiculous. The owners obviously know they are throwing money down the drain and the money will never be recouped. Not that they care anyway. I think some of this money down the drain would be better spent to help those people living in the horn of Africa. I remember it took weeks for the aid organisations to get countries to pledge £8 million (not donate - A pledge is to promise so its not guaranteed). How does anyone in their right senses expect the likes of Arsenal to compete in this kind of crazy market. Sergio Aguero from Atletico Madrid - £38 million July 2011 Edin Džeko from Wolfsburg - £27 million January 2011 Mario Balotelli from Inter - £24 million August 2010 Carlos Tevez from Manchester United - £47.5 million July 2009 Emmanuel Adebayor from Arsenal - £25 million July 2009 Roque Santa Cruz from Blackburn - £17.5 million June 2009 Craig Bellamy from West Ham - £14 million January 2009 Robinho from Real Madrid - £32.5 million September 2008 (sold to Milan for £15million in August 2010) Jo from CSKA - £18 million June 2008 (sold to Sport Club Internacional for £6 million in July 2011) |

Your line of argument about the horn of Africa is disingenuous.People choose to spend their money the way they like.The owners of Man City want nothing but the best & they have the vault to prove it |
