    If only the amount you were payed was in direct relation to how good you were and how much you meant to the club.

    Deco worth the same to Chelsea as Rooney to ManU?

    Continuing that, how the @!%$ is Wayne Bridge worth the same amount as Ribery, Iniesta or Aguero?! And MORE the Arshavin and Anelka? All this says to me is that Man City is run by a bunch of complete and utter maniacs who actually have no brains!!

    Well who would you rather have in your team, Bridge or someone like Diarra or Arshavin? I know people go on about how you need defenders as well blah blah blah (which I agree with) but he’s not even someone who’s an automatic selection for his national team. It’s ridiculous.

    If, as you say, “the amount you were payed was in direct relation to how good you were and how much you meant to the club” then Diarra doesn’t even regularly start for his side so Bridge is more important.

    However, totally agreed on the other fronts. Football manager has Man. City down to a tee. No-one will go to City unless they’ve a) had a fight with someone at their club, b) not regularly playing for their side, or c) is not at a very good club at present, and thinks they have a better chance of playing Champions league football at Citeh.
