In what is now becoming customary when a player leaves City, former striker Benjani has hit out at the club, claiming some of the players are only interested in money.

Benjani - Latest to hit out at blues

When asked what it was like at City during their spending sprees, Benjani replied “it sounds great but in football, money isn’t everything.” The striker continued by claiming there is no trust at Eastlands. The striker was also asked if he felt players were interested in money than anything else, to which he replied “’yes, it seemed like that and behind the scenes, there is no trust. I prefer to play for a club where you are trusted and you trust everyone around you,” said Benjani.

The Zimbabwe striker, signed by former boss Sven Goran Eriksson, was released by Roberto Mancini during the summer, but recently signed for Blackburn and could make his debut for the Lancashire side against the blues at Eastlands on Saturday.

It follows a similar accusation by Martin Petrov, who has also claims there is mistrust within the blue camp. “The human relationships are lost and the trust is lost too. In this situation the players are going to play like millionaires in games and are not a team on the pitch.”

Petrov was released at the same time as Benjani during the summer and also stayed in Lancashire, choosing to restart his career at Bolton Wanders.

Benjani and Petrov are not the only ones to have aimed parting shots at City. No sooner had Stephen Ireland signed at Villa Park did his mouth open and we wait with bated breath for Robinho’s outburst following his move to AC Milan.

    2. Another sad cast-off just like Ireland and Petrov , who cannot wait to criticise their former employer, who paid them a small fortune for generally producing very little in return for the investment.

    No class, and definitely not good enough for City, so f*ck all three of them !

    Sad losers displaying that they have no class or integrity !

    3. These guys bad mouth their former employers and forget that they are playing a child’s game for big bucks. If money wasn’t everything, why don’t they just tell their new employers that they’ll work for free. Benjani was constantly injured during his tenure as a City player. I loved Ireland, but he was a head case who ended up holding up Man City for $ so what does that tell you. These guys were replaced by better players. Will those players become a better team, we’ll see. Personally, I’m done listening to whining from these guys that make more in a week than I do annually.

    4. It was Benjani who said when he first signed to paraphrase, I have never had a contract so large, how could I not sign’
