I don't know if some players also are conditioned by what they've seen growing up. The A list teams then and now have been the same. New money teams don't bring that allure with them. And one has to keep that n mind. Of course these things are very personal, and it really comes down to a lifestyle choice a player makes. If its only about the money, then sure ManCity is right ip there, but if you're truly passionate about the game and want to go down in the history books, you gotta go a team with legacy and create yours. For every David Silva there is a Milos Krasic. For every Carlos Tevez there is a Sanchez. For every Eden Dzeko there is a Sergio Aguero!
