Martin Samuel about the Gary Cook debacle.

A further deterioration in the relationship occurred, for instance, with Manchester City’s belief that Dr Onuoha had engaged Kia Joorabchian to find her son a club this summer. City immediately reported Joorabchian’s involvement to the FA as an unlicensed agent, a development that is the latest round in a feud with Cook, which began in January 2009 over the doomed deal for Kaka. (For the record, Joorabchian, who also takes care of Carlos Tevez and does have licensed agents in his employ, denies that he has ever acted, represented, met or spoken to Onuoha at any time.)
Then, what may have been the spark in the tinderbox ignited last week when, as the transfer window closed, Manchester City’s refusal to make up the difference in Onuoha’s £38,000-a-week salary scuppered his loan move to Everton. Within days the rogue email was on the back page of a national newspaper.
Going nowhere: Nedum Onuoha's wage demands put paid to a loan move to Goodison Park
Going nowhere: Nedum Onuoha's wage demands put paid to a loan move to Goodison Park
Why should City pay the wages of a player at another club? Why did Onuoha not sign for Everton at their going rate and rebuild his career at Goodison Park rather than sit unwanted on an inflated salary at City? Could the unrealistic demands of modern footballers explain the slightly contemptuous tone that comes through what may be an executive level email exchange?
These and other questions will not be answered because cancer has sucked all of the air from the room.
This bit grabs my attention the most like i said in another post, why wait 11 months to reveal it?
