Worst scout ever
His agent is certainly giving him advice on these matters, seems he likes self promotion as much as football!

Have you ever seen Kagawa?Disappointing tbh. I hope we are not in for Kagawa, Hazard is a far better prospect.
Ah well there's the other 100m for the other three.Marin was 7 million, less than Bebe. He was also signed as a squad player, to replace Kalou.
How do you know they didn't offer the same wages?I've also strangely come out of this with a bit of new found respect for City. They could've easily matched Chelsea, even beaten them for wages but they held off because they know he's only 21 years old and putting him on the same/higher wages as stars like Yaya and Aguero would be madness.
Not really our summer has just opened up to infinite posibilities. Think of all those players we can go in for now. Think of the Euros, think of Lucas Moura, we're in for the greatest summer of muppetry ever.Most likely that was our only chane of seeing a big signing this summer. Kagawa will be a good buy though.
It's been all over the net that they wouldn't go past 110k for him.How do you know they didn't offer the same wages?
Most of those quotes are what most players would say, if he was asked "who would you join if you go to Spain or Italy" then what is he meant to say?His agent is certainly giving him advice on these matters, seems he likes self promotion as much as football!
Yeah, now we've missed out on Hazard it would be a crying shame if we succesfully signed Kagawa.Disappointing tbh. I hope we are not in for Kagawa, Hazard is a far better prospect.
Well actually, quite a few people did.....just by pointing his weak-ish 10/11 in general, forget this season. Those posts obviously just got swallowed up by the dumbness though.Hell no! I predicted Sneijder's downfall last summer when every caftard was wanking over a possible move to United. People called me crazy, and maybe I am crazy, but at least I was right about Sneijder.
Or, he keeps mentioning Chelsea winning the champions league and thats something City have never done. Maybe thats more important than the extra money when he'll already be getting ridiculous amounts.I've also strangely come out of this with a bit of new found respect for City. They could've easily matched Chelsea, even beaten them for wages but they held off because they know he's only 21 years old and putting him on the same/higher wages as stars like Yaya and Aguero would be madness.
It's disappointing but in keeping with the skewed financial realities in the game at the moment.That's your opinion, my opinion however is these are both young, quality players in a position we desperately need to strengthen. If you can't see that missing out on both players is an issue then you need to take off the blinkers.
Both players fit our "transfer strategy".
Oh, it was on the net? Right. Gotcha.It's been all over the net that they wouldn't go past 110k for him.
That's hardly the most annoying part of the story.
WillVery disappointed as he is an excellent talent. Would improve Chelsea loads.
He does stand up?But seriously, what player takes such a vocal role during his transfer ? It's usually the clubs that make noises that give you an idea as to what's going on. Hazard comedy across as a bit of a spastic to be honest.
It's quite simple really, City have a good manager who wants his players kept happy. Chelsea have an owner who will do whatever the feck it takes to get his players. He always has.Oh, it was on the net? Right. Gotcha.
Seen him play 3 1/2 games and I'm not convinced. Seen Hazard play a few more games and looks like he has more natural talent tbh.Have you ever seen Kagawa?
Well that's a bit stupid though isn't it? Seeing as no team has ever won back to back CL's, and that was Chelsea's worst team in many a year, under an intern manager, and they finished 6th in the league, where as a much superior Man City side finished first in the league.Or, he keeps mentioning Chelsea winning the champions league and thats something City have never done. Maybe thats more important than the extra money when he'll already be getting ridiculous amounts.
You think that they will spend 100m +? You do realise that they lost 60m this year, FFP allows for losses of 40m over three years and starts this year. They have already spent 45m, Modric will cost 40m as will Falcao. They will not be recouping hardly anything in transfer fees either.They will try and sign Falcao and Modric.
City are, annoyingly, an increasingly professional outfit. They'll never be a legitimate football club, but they'll be far less of a mess than Chelsea have been over the years, and therefore far more likely to turn their obscene financial dominance into proportionate success.I've also strangely come out of this with a bit of new found respect for City. They could've easily matched Chelsea, even beaten them for wages but they held off because they know he's only 21 years old and putting him on the same/higher wages as stars like Yaya and Aguero would be madness.
I've always said that Hazard is/was out of our wage budget, but Kagawa is the real deal. If we miss out on him, I'm going to be really pissed as he's the player that fits our transfer strategy and is the player we really need.It's disappointing but in keeping with the skewed financial realities in the game at the moment.
To suggest there's something horrible wrong when it's a pretty basic fiscal issue is nonsense.
Yes whatever Pogue. I don't think Kagawa looks all that great, so yes I hope we don't sign him and we have somebody of higher caliber in mind.Yeah, now we've missed out on Hazard it would be a crying shame if we succesfully signed Kagawa.
The fecktards are out in force. But I can't stay away. Grrrrr...
"At the time of writing those things were true....subject to change...never guaranteed" etc.Let's spare a thought for RedRichio and Sean who were convinced of him going to City.
