Check out this article and lets hear your thoughts.

New Manchester City owner Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim is prepared to fund a £135 million offer for Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo in January.

I just hate these foreign investors, it would take the joy out of the game if Man City can just get anyone. There should be a maximum amount of money you can spend in every transfer window because over a hundred million for any player is madness!

The sad fact is that for any team to be able to compete with the big-4, this kind of thing has to happen. That's says more about the state of the Premier League than anything else.

 man city aren't just going to be feared but the most hated team, chelski must be so pissed. 

Yes teams should start worring if they are still going to have there star players by next season but i think united will keep all of there players apart from ronaldo who is off to madrid in jan onless utd want to let him go on a free at the end of the season but players like drogba will be more than willing to sell hes soul for the right amount of cash, city could look something like this by the end of the season......would the top 4 fear this lineup?

Ronaldo still has about 5 years left on his current contract so I don't know why United would sell him in January. As for Man City, they are my new 'hate' club, call it jealously if you want, but its not just that, the Premier League is ruined. We could predict the top 4 before but now we can predict the top 5. A cap should be put on transfer fee's. No more than £40 million should be allowed to be spent on transfers from next season.

Sorry a utd fan told me he only had one year left on hes contract guess he must of been one of the glory boys that dont no anything about hes team lol

Why are they so rich. Interested in : Kaka, Tevez, Gerrard, Essien, Podolski, Fabregas, Torres, Luis Fabiano... to name but a few. Who will they actually sign becoz it seems to be empty rumours.

fear is definitlty a good word fear that they will drive up the prices for players so high that'll throw out all the sanity in the transfer market whatever is left after all 100 milliions pounds for nay player is rediculous but these investors will make that a common thing with the purchase of cristi next then would be messi at 200 millions punds someone needs 2 stop these mad men b4 they destroy the fabric of the transfer market

Your pairing of Elano & Kaka in midfield would ensure that your team would get bullied in the premier league plus Lahm is a crap defender especialy at centre back and get's bullied regularly.

I'm not trying to squash your love of city although I did'nt realise you were a fan of City but please be realistic the man that actualy controls the purse strings has decided to take charge personaly as he understands that throwing money around does'nt build success although it can help improve upon certain areas infastructure is one thing, but the signs look good.

It will take 2 seasons at least before you can realisticly challenge for the title so dont get too excited.

*Remembers when Serie A tried the Buy Buy Buy mentality looks at it now*

*Sees loads of paid dinosaurs and hardly any youth players getting a chance*

But I will say I'm disgusted that people think to win the league you need the best players thats a myth, Fegie showed you that at Aberdeen, Mourinho demonstrated this at Porto- You make money through:

Focus.

Detrmination.

Constantly honing the skills you have and aquiring new ones.

Willingness to learn.

Humility.

How long do you think it took for City's investors to amass their fortune?

How long would it take for them to lose it?  *hint*

The Premier League:  is heading for a crash 

Mourinho won the Portuguese league with Porto because they had the best players. To suggest otherwise is wide of the mark.

Same goes 4 Mourinho at Chelsea than i assume......

Of course, but he only mentioned Mourinho at Porto in his post, so I only mentioned that example.

Mourinho was'nt the only person I mentioned but then this is the second time that you have failed to read one of my posts properly and take, what I have written out of context.

By the way at Porto Mourinho did'nt have the best players ability wise but what they lacked in ability they made up for with hard grit and determination and pure will to win and if we mention Chelsea that proves my point further.

Fact: Price tags do not mean your getting the best player(s)
