Yeah right!

After we've since signed the likes of Tevez and Adebayor ...... all of a sudden he wanted to come.

Funny that! It's a kinda of 'look what you could have had' moment!

Not even worthy of our attention. He never was a City player and if he'd wanted to come to us he had ample opportunity to express this.

Both we, and he, have moved on.

He had a freaking eternity BEFORE we imposed a deadline and still couldn't make a decision - he just wanted more time to dig up interest from a Champions League club while there was still an offer on the table from 'money bags' City (so he would be in a stronger negotiating position)

Shame. We could've done someone like him.
