If he is not going to say what the problem is then why even make an issue out of it. He says the club know what the problem is and one day it will all come out but it is not about money.
He obviously has attention seeking issues based around some deep rooted insecurities. The way these weaknesses manifest themselves result in a personality type often referred to as "a cunt".
His footballing talent is undeniable and maybe part of that comes from being the type of person he is. Its such a shame he has to be such a twat.
Heard a funny story yesterday - Seems Ronaldo told a reporter he had been sent by god to play football. This was relayed to Messi who simply replied "No I didn't!"

I value that aspect of the club more than I do winning at all costs. Let's face it: if I'd wanted to support winning cunts I could have just switched to following the rags and learning to love Cantona. So could many others, they didn't (I'm sure some did too), they probably never seriously considered it.
To me it's not as simple as asking whether a player will improve the team, there's also the question about preserving the character of this club while so much change is going on. Do we want to still be City, but winning; or do we want to be Real Madrid/Manchester United Lite? I'll still support the team an cheer all the players, of course. I'd be a lot happier if we didn't go down that road too. In the long run, I think we'll all be happier too.
Keeping him happy will be a sisyphean task and it could be hugely damaging to the club on and off the field if it goes pear shaped.

Now. Everyone works. No exceptions. Aguero is a huge star, he puts in a shift. He doesn't act like a cock. We're a clean team, unlike the scum we don't set out to kick players off the park if we think they're a threat. There's very little diving, players don't roll around on the ground. They get up as quick as they can after a foul and you don't tend to see crowds of players intimidating refs. Would we really have put up a banner if the positions were reversed, we're not that good at being shitheads. Players who want out can leave.
Whatever red cards we got, we didn't see a lot of players setting out to hurt someone. Scum have always had that: the Roy Keane 89th minute assault and don't wait for the card.
Building a winning team with this ethic has been Mancini's biggest achievement. Impeccable, still impeccable. Still the same City we learnt to love, only better.
Off the field there's incredible work being done. Rejuvenating the area, building a local school and putting the academy guys in it. Family stand. Looking new ways to work with fans and the community.
We've come so far and preserved our soul. The club and the fans are not separate entities, they're part of the same thing, they reflect each other. Why give that up now? Bananas, the Poznan, giving Berti that one cap, the way we won the league.
We can keep that spirit, if we're willing to do what it takes.

We were only different from the successful clubs. There were plenty of shit teams around us that were just the same.
The fans are the soul of any club. The club itself is just a business. As far as the world is concerned we are already the soulless juggernaut devouring everything in its path in its selfless need for progression and that ship set sail a few years ago and won't ever be coming back.
But for the fans we are the same only better at football. Aslong as we remember who we are and where we came from it really doesn't matter who it is scoring the goals that win us trophies and we should all want to see the club win things.

Ronaldo wouldn't change any of that. Him diving all the time is a massive misconception. We all saw what we wanted to see when he was a rag, 95% of the time he has left his defender on his arse not the other way round. His ego most of the time if he does lose the ball combined with ridiculous speed and the strength to stand up to the biggest defenders sees him chasing back.
We as fans wouldn't change. As a team we wouldn't change and our biggest worry in terms of players diving, reacting badly, being nasty or malicious and acting like an idiot off the pitch would still be Balotelli by a country mile. We are not a clean team either with balo, tevez and kolarov all wild cards in their own ways. I couldn't stand the guy when he was at the rags but no matter which way the discussion goes it all boils down to signing the second best player in the world (probably of all time), the best player ever to play in the premier league, a natural athlete. A guy who it seems sometimes has been genetically engineered to be the perfect footballer or saying no he was a rag.

Just blow your whistle and I'm going over the top captain. Nice
