Aye, such a shame with Essien, world class player on his day but he seems to be picking up some rather nasty injuries on a frequent basis. Not good for his first impressions with regards to Boas, the club may be reluctant to offer him a new contract.Moobabe said:Been out of the footballing loop for a couple of days and I come back to find Essien injured?! Come on...
Also this Man City stadium deal - not to sound overly cynical but the largest EVER stadium deal in ANY sport happens to come from the same area that the Man City owners are from? It sounds a little more than convenient.
Yes the Man City deal is as shady as it gets but I doubt there's much anyone can do about it. The system is there to be gamed, and Mansour could just go out and buy a million City shirts to gain revenue. Such a shame but I suppose that's what we've got to expect from those clubs purely driven by an excessive amount of spending power.
