Honestly - I am gutted, he is a class player... However, if he chooses where his career goes based on the city then it worries me about his long term commitment to any club, also about his lifestyle and decision making.
Now, if he said it was for footballing reasons and he rated them above us due to being consistently in the top 4 I could see it, but based on city I would not be too happy. The media etc in England can turn very quickly and in London there will be no let up - he wife could get very bored and upset very quickly...
