Can't wait to see, if this Abu Dhabi thing all goes through in the next couple of weeks, as I'm sure it will, who they are going to buy in January. If Ronaldo goes to City, reports are suggesting they will make an offer of £135m, then we will no there is no hope for football!

Just look at the lower leagues of football, we have clubs going into adminstration, the 32.5m spent on Robinho would have kept them clubs going for years. I really think football is being built up for a massive crash, when the money is pulled out by these owners.

Quite frankly this is a massive, massive development in the world of football, and one that I'm surprised didn't happen sooner. The Abu Dhabi Group as we'll call them for short is a group with limitless pockets and an unequalled desire to turn whatever they touch into gold. For those without knowledge of the Abu Dhabi Investment Group, in short they have become exceedingly rich due to oil, and in recent years the expansion of the speculative oil trading industry. However, they also know that at some point their seemingly endless profits will come to an end due to either running out of oil, or the emergence of alternative fuels. Therefore, the Investment Group has turned Abu Dhabi into a tourist attraction unlike any other, and will stop at no means to alert the world of their intentions. Man City is a live advertisment of Abu Dhabi's wealth and intent. They will stop at no boundaries to acquire the players and prestiege in world football. You can be assured that the Robinho signing is just a wave hello to world football that Man City is here on the big time. Transfer prices will be shattered by them, and wage bills will look unlike everything we've ever seen. We thought we saw this with Chelsea, but in the case of Man City I've got a feeling we will see a walking barrage of all-stars on the pitch within due time. A world class facility will certainly be constructed with any amenity available for their collection of world class players. I truly feel we're going to see an interesting series of developments in football as a result of the Man City buyout, and some will in certain force FIFA to change the structure of the club side of the sport should they wish to maintain the true integrity of the sport. I know this seems overbearing and rediculous, but Abu Dhabi and Man City will make Chelsea and their spending look ordinary.
