Analyse this: City only paid £4.7m and Petrov chose City. This basically means; 1) he's cheap because of an implied risk (too old, too injured, too shite), 2) nobody else wanted him because of #1.
It smells of Damien Duff pt2, so good on Spurs for giving him a wide berth. Maybe Berba told BMJ & DC "He's a good player but not as good as me, and as such not the quality Spurs need".

why are people STILL believeing he chose city of us?! whose to say we even put in a bid? if we had we would have got him - its as simple as in my book.
they've probably realised he's a 28yr old with a dodgy knee and that there are better prospects out there. who? i dont know but thats what scouts are paid for.

That's fucking ludicrous. And a huge pile of steaming bollocks.
Sorry, but you're way off.

Insiders say we had a bid accepted and he was booked in for a medical with us. City offered him double apparently.
I'm sorry, but he wasn't the guy to break the bank with. I think he's made a serious error in judgment, where he could link up with his International buddy with us. I don't see City finishing top 10 - and what does that say about attitude?
Seriously. Where's the ambition? Bent turned down double what we pay him to play for us, (and West Ham will probably finish above City next year) - so just take a step back and look at that.
I'm also aware I'm spinning this terribly in our favour, but I still hold the belief we'll come good with a lil' beauty.
*hunts for straws*

Gareth Bale is a full back.
Danny Rose will go into our academy team and may get into the reserves.
Taarabt and Routledge cannot go past their man on the left and put in a cross with their left foot. On current form Routledge can't even do that on the right.
The fuss is about getting an option into the team where we can have some width and get crosses coming into the penalty area from both sides of the pitch.
Why did Petrov choose City over a side with Europe and Berbatov? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say he saw one last payday as he career draws to a close, and they offered him more than we did.
JOL SHATTERED AS SVEN STEALS PETROV

BULGARIAN leftwinger Martin Petrov insists his decision to join Manchester City is nothing to do with money - even after snubbing Dimitar Berbatov's plea for him to join Tottenham. Spurs boss Martin Jol was confident of getting the 28-year-old as compatriot Berbatov had appeared to talk the £4.7million Atletico Madrid winger into moving to White Hart Lane.
But City boss Sven Goran Eriksson gazumped Tottenham's offer and Petrov decided to snub Spurs even though they are chasing Champions League football next season.
Petrov, who has signed a £55,000-a-week deal with City, which is way above what he was offered in Tottenham's pay structure, said: "My choice is not only about money but football questions too.

"Simply, I need to play and I believe I would get more minutes for City than Tottenham.
"I did speak with Berbatov and he tried to convince me to join Tottenham but our ways will be different in England. He is a friend but has accepted my decision.
"Eriksson is ambitious and City is a very attractive challenge for me and I believe we will be successful. I am fit after my injury problems, I am strong and I think my style will suit the English game."
Eriksson, who has already spent £17m of new owner Thaksin Shinawatra's hefty transfer kitty, will now move to make Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini his next buy before turning his attention towards Nantes midfielder Emerse Fae and Olympiakos striker Nery Castillo.
Sven said: "Players want to play for a club with ambition and since the takeover we have been showing that."
