In the next couple of years that side is going to need major surgery and he's got out before it goes horribly wrong.
RVP two seasons left? :w00t:

I'm not worried Danbert, because I look across at cITY and see your over-reliance on one player (Yaya Toure)....

...then I see the players who are unsettled like Tevez, Kolo Toure, Dzeko, Nasri, Barry & Lescott amongst others....

...then I look at the players like Van Persie, Hazard, De Rossi and Agger who you failed to sign last season.

...then I look at the players you did sign like Rodwell, Garcia, Sinclair and Maicon...

...then I look at how old and stressed Mancini is looking...

...then I look very carefully at how you were forced to sell Balotelli to meet the UEFA fair play rules...

...then I look at you potentially being kicked out of the Champions League, losing even more revenue...

...then I have a good laugh. Every cloud has a silver lining.
