We're never going to convince each other because there's an apparent generational gap between us. You belong to the new school where it's all about "me, me, and me" and I don't.
You're wrong about the players being at Juve for years and years. Buffon, Trez, and Nedved joined in '01 that's only 5 years...a little over the amount of time a player signs a contract for anyway.
Also it's not about him turning down Juve that bothers me...if it was between City and let's say...Liverpool, I'd still fault him for joining City.
To answer your question, I would turn down City. I won't put on that mickey mouse jersey ever. That club has no soul and come the FFP rules I hope they crash and burn (barring they don't find loopholes).
On paper they do have a good squad but so did the New York Cosmos and Real Madrid during the Galactico era but where are they now? These teams don't stand the test of time and they're doomed to fail.
End of story.
The money was there to attract these players sure but there was also a history and a tradition. Didn't this Joorabchian and his MSI try to pump money into Corinthians in hopes to make them the 'City' of Brazil? How did that go? Also, why do you think these rich Sheikhs and these Russian moguls don't buy up their local clubs and fill them with these talents? Because no one wants to fucking support FC Dubai or SS Minsk.
Look, City is that douchebag at your school who's daddy bough him a new Mercedes SLR, while you're still riding your bike. He goes to college where his daddy went and whom he still writes checks for. Right out of college his daddy gets him a top level job at his own company. Life is good, there's money, tcars, and bitches. Then one day your daddy's company goes under b/c he can't manage for shit and falls into depression and commits suicide. Suddenly the money, the cars, and the bitches are gone and he finds his ass on the streets.

You're being delusional. No one in their right mind turns down that much money and the chance of winning just because a club doesn't have a "soul". Especially foreigners who have no obligation towards all the different teams. You're not being realistic at all. Those guys have about 10 years to make as much money as they can in order to secure their and their families future. Now turning down double the money because a team doesn't have a soul is very irresponsible.
Also, who in their right mind turns down City for Liverpool?
Double the money at City - Check
Champions League - Check
Much better squad - Check
Bigger chance of winning - Check
Can't really blame Aguero for choosing City now can you...

Aguero has only a few reasons to choose a spanish/italian club over City and none to choose Liverpool over them in my eyes. And thanks to the honest team one of the most obvious reasons not to come in italy is that the league is in ruins. In my eyes only the epic No.10 jersey in Juventus could have turned the tide in our favour, but not without CL and certainly not when this team might qualify from 1st to 10th. In this winter we would be times more attractive because a player knows he has a team around himself and a coach that knows what he is doing and would be here at least the next season as well.
But I kind of agree with Suns on the money issue. Its just unprofessional to turn down such a proposition. FFP might set things straight, but Aguero was right when he said that if he was going to make a compromise it would be for his first team in Argentina. He won't be our new SS, but he is a hell of a player. Lets hope Messi gets bored from life in Barcelona, although its more likely that we win in court and Inter has to pay us damages in the amount of 500 mils...

i would definatly turn down pool for man city, because pool means nothing anymore and has an vastly overrated history.
however, i would turn city down for chelsea and man utd.
they have history, chelsea beeing more recent, but have been around for allmost a decade now.
both have a great fanbase, good domestical and european record in the last 20 years compared to pool
also, what is 4 mil if you are a player like aguero
its just a fraction of what they make in sponsering contracts.
money is not everything
turning down juve for city is something nobody here can logically answer to, as we are biassed towards juventus.
