Thanks to Abu Dhabi United Group, Manchester City had suddenly become a club which can afford almost any player in the world. A buyout happened in August 2008 marked the end of former Thailand minister Thaksin Shinawatra's ownership for two years, and also a new era for City. Manchester City's new boss, Sulaiman Al-Fahim shocked the football indutry with the signing of Brazillain star Robhino from Real Madrid for a record fee of $32.5 million Pounds, just hours after the transfer of ownership.
And that was not the end of it. Just Few days ago multi-billionaire Al-Fahim bragged announced his plan to re-construct Man City squad to become the most fearful football team on Earth. The first player he would love to have in the lineup would be none other than Cristiano Ronaldo, arguably the world's best player currently. The United winger is estimated to worth around $184 million Pounds. Other world-class players whom Al-Fahim desires to have in his dream lineup, include Lionel Messi from Barcelona ($80 million), playmaker Cesc Fabregas of Arsenal ($60 million), Kaka of AC Milan ($80 million), Fernando Torres of Liverpool ($70 million), as well as fellow rival United's new signing Dimitar Berbatov ($60 million). With that much money to be spent, it sure makes Roman Abramovic look like a penniless vagrant..
Moreover, there are speculations which reveal that the proclaimed "New Abramovic of EPL" has also had his drools over other classy players like David Villa, Mario Gomez, Van Nestelrooy and so on..
It's virtually impossible to have all those fancy players in one squad, especially when 6 out of 11 of them would have cost him $500 million Pounds! Furthermore we only need one player for each position at a time, which means that somebody will have to sit on the bench - not sure if top footballers like Messi who plays 90 minutes almost every game would be okay with that.
