Manchester City didn't meet the criteria we wanted. Manchester United? Maybe that would have been another story!

BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Manchester City
I think Manchester City could be a wild card in all of this but what's to stop us from trying to do what we think we are capable of doing within our own particular means if we can. If it doesn't materialise it won't be through lack of trying. December will be a big month for us in terms of staying in contention. Being in Europe will strengthen our hand.
said Martin O'Neill

I'm pretty sure (Manchester) City will do some business ... You don't talk about having all this money and then not use it. They'll have plenty of ideas. The fact that they tried to buy four or five players in an hour on deadline day (in September) gives you an indication.

No one considers merging Manchester United and Manchester City together, and they are in the same city
said Georgy Cherdantsev
It was the same before the game against Manchester City because obviously they wanted us to beat them. But now we need to win at Twente to ensure we don’t have to rely on results elsewhere on the final matchday.

If I had the chance to choose players I would also hire Kaka and Ronaldo, but in this moment our team needs to get reinforced at the back and these two players are doing really well for their teams in Brazil. And in addition to reinforcing the team with new players, what we have to do at Manchester City is to change our mindset and start to think about winning titles.
