Find it absolutely bizarre that someone on £1m a month would just sit inside playing Playstation all the time. He did a tour of his flat for City’s inhouse channel and it was really sad. There was a kid’s bedroom unused, his front room was just a massive telly and loads of matchballs, the only sign of human interaction at all was when he said his best mate’s David De Gea and sometimes they have tea together.
Fair play to him. Definitely a strange bloke, but at the same time it’s quite nice. City lucked out with their big players down the years. When you think about it - Silva, Agüero, Kompany, Zabaleta, etc - just got on with it, really bought into the city, never any off-the-pitch mither.
