Clichy: You only play for City if you want the money
Defender Gaël Clichy has said that any player who wants to move from an established and successful club to play for Manchester City would only do so because of the money on offer.
The Frenchman's words are probably a very big dig towards former team mate Emmanuel Adebayor, who moved from Arsenal to the billionaire club in a controversial £25 million deal.
Clichy said: "I really believe if you are a player who thinks only about money then you could end up at Manchester City.
"You have to think if you want to play for a big club and have your image or if you want to play for a good club and earn big money.
"When you ask someone to move for something like £300,000 a week it is just crazy."
Manchester City manager has already spent upwards of £80 million (that's ONE Cristiano Ronaldo, to put you into perspective Madrid) on new transfers and it doesn't seem like he's finished, with reports of him chasing defenders John Terry and Kolo Touré.

Kolo isn't worth leaving the Emirate, 'cos he's dedicated his all. Ashavin, Fabrigas and Nasri will be hot this coming season setting up goal chances for Edu, Niklas, and Vela.

hey gazinio it takes more than money to built a team as you'll find out this season, your managers crap for starters and your midfield is gonna have to create a lot more chances if you want that greedy clown to score goals, the 30 goal season he had for us should have been 50 playing in front of the best midfield in the epl

Saying players who come to us now is an easy snipe, like Ade says, if someone offered you more to do a job your already doing you'd take it! why would he have any loyalty to you or any other club, not like he was brought up in Highbury is it!
Dont be Bitter! That's the job of the dirty rags now!
