Asamoah Gyan moves to UAE club Al Ain purely for footballing reasons (nothing to do with 200k a week and some 6million to Sunderland) , Etoo moves to Anzil Makhachkala for purely footballing reasons and to win trophies, (forget the 300k a week allegations), our own group of players Na$ri, Ade, Cashley Cole, even our alleged legend Vieira (who even old Arry claims was ready to play for Tottenham to win more medals) and many others all crossing the 'enemy lines' all for footballing reasons. I want a real honest answer. If the Sheikhs offer you say 100K a week to support ManCity would you turn their offer down?... for footballing reasons?

I could obviously pretend to support anyone, doesn't mean I would actually want them to win. It would be impossible to turn off my support for Arsenal.

On the points made about Samuel Eto'o: In his home country the hero-worship factor is about 100 times that in Europe. With the millions he's earned and will earn he could probably move into politics and try to fulfill some of his dreams from that platform. A very rich and popular footballer from Cameroon is not far from the Presidency if he wants it. (Oh, and for 5.2 million p.a. I'd wear sky-blue underpants every day I went swimming in the blue lagoon. And I'd learn the words to Blue Moon)

"Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own"
The underpants and cheque will follow shortly...

Used underpants, or new?
It could make all the difference.

At least Asamoah Gyan was honest with the fans of Sunderland. Which 1 of us would not move to another company i fthey offered usan increase in our wages of 50% or more. Let us get this right nearly all of us would, move for the money.

Can I sign my supporters contract at the end of the season ?
If so I would go watch City's pre season tour cheer them on wildy against what ever random teams they play. Then around about August time I would strain my supporting muscle which would be followed by a drop in supporting confidence and after a week or two of being a bad fan that abuses the clubs players I would ask for mutual termination...
I am thinking at least 13 weeks x 100,000 minus tax = £650,000 Think I could scrape by on that....

Poor old Patrick Vieira he must be gutted to have gone to City only to get a FA Cup winners medal and an club ambassdors job while he takes his coaching badges.
If he had gone to Spurs he wouldn't have actually won anything but he may have been given the oppurtunity to fulfill his lif-long ambition of being a programme seller when he retired.
