Quotes about Manchester City

said Adriano Galliani
My first priority is, was and always has been to stay at Manchester City because I have enjoyed it and have settled here. When Mark Hughes got the job I was thrilled that he seemed to make my contract extension his priority. I’m delighted to stay.

Quotes from articles mentioning Manchester City
The aim here has to be to challenge United ... We have to think in those terms. If the resources are there and we get the right players in the right positions, there's no reason why we can't. I enjoy going up against the best manager in the Premier League and Sir Alex is the best. In my time at Blackburn we beat all the top four sides on occasions. What I want to do is beat them on a regular basis.

Yes, it could happen ... Mark and I have talked about that. But you don't build a dynasty on the basis of what might be negative implication. You build it on what's right today and what you need today. We know there's a lot of runway here for him, whereas at other clubs they may not have that. He's very committed to Manchester City today and that's all I worry about now.
