Not a bad loser. Supported City for 58 years. Believe it or not I was brought up by my late father to believe in business ethics. Something I have followed my working life as a Chartered Account. Never gave shisters a minute and it served me well.
Clearly not applicable in this case. I promise if it had been the other way I would think the same. But not a bad loser. Just prefer some morals.

Manchester City are unlikely to do business with Napoli again after they pulled out of an agreement for midfielder Jorginho, sources have told ESPN FC.

The Italy international was a top target for Pep Guardiola but has now joined Chelsea on a five-year deal worth around €60 million.

City believe that Jorginho, 26, preferred a switch to the Premier League champions despite claims from Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis that he would rather move to London.

As recently as Thursday, Jorginho told City that he preferred to join them, but sources told ESPN FC he was “bullied” into a move to Chelsea with the threat of being forced to see out the remaining two years of his contract with Napoli.

A £43m transfer fee was agreed between De Laurentiis and City last month, but Napoli reneged on that deal, leaving club hierarchy stunned.

Chelsea have since sacked manager Antonio Conte and appointed former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri, with Jorginho becoming his first signing.

City refused to match Chelsea’s offer and walked away from the deal just as they refused to match demands they saw as excessive during the January transfer window, including deals for Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez and Shakhtar Donetsk’s Fred — both of whom joined Manchester United.

Leicester City also wanted around £95 million for winger Riyad Mahrez in January, and City finally signed him last week in a deal for £60m.

Mahrez and Jorginho were City’s two top summer targets, and they now have less than a month to sign a replacement for Yaya Toure, who left on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Nine. Are you ashamed of your club going along with dirty dealings ? De Laurentis and Abramovic. Is there more to say. Perhaps one word?

Editor.
Different times. How many can you name that agreed personal terms, shook hands on the deal and then went back on their word and didnt go to Utd and gave a pathetic reason. Serious question!

Having spent most of my working life in London even if you are wealthy its a hole. Dirty, full of people that dont speak English, you can walk quicker than the traffic, you get robbed by thugs on mopeds, everybody is trying to do you. More if you like.
At least have the guts to say I am going to be paid more and its part of the Sarri deal.
Does anybody trust that the truth is told?
A quote…

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Timothy in the bible!

You can have Sarri and Jorginho. Two faced tw.ts. Giving your word and then saying wanting to live in London is the reason. Its money pure and simple. I am old school. You give your word when you decide. These things have a habit of coming back to bite. Example? Greedy Sanchez.
Ihope we never do that. Better walk away. There are plenty of players who would love to play for City.

Brian. Spot on. Our midfield is not quite good enough. Something I suggested before the start. I would have taken Shelvey or even Wilshire to offer some creativity.
Still its been fun for a month!
