Obviously he wanted to repay the faith showed in him. Once that has gone, he has no obligation to sign for a lesser team. At City he could get the chance to win the league, play champions league football and get paid a lot more than any other team. I don't see how you can condemn a man for simply taking the best option offered to him, it isn't his fault that Man City offered him a deal, and I am sure if given the opportunity to join Chelsea/Liverpool/Arsenal, then he would do over City out of respect, because he seems like that kind of guy.

To him it is a win/win situation at City.
Play: Get paid. Might win stuff. Might play for England. Prove doubters wrong.
Bench all season: Get paid. Might win stuff. Might play for England (look at A.Johnson). Slightly prove doubters wrong.
Spend the season injured: Get paid. (obviously not as much as options 1/2, if he is on a pay as you play deal, but I am sure he will have a basic salary)
I am sure money will have played a part, at the end of the day, who is going to turn down more money?

Surely he has some kind of basic salary. But a player who has had so big injury problems in the last 3 years will surely have his contract heavily based on how available he is.
But thats not a problem, im sure City didn't have to wave money at him and he is more than happy to come. I think he sees City as his last opportunity to perform at the highest level. CL and maybe win trophies etc...like you said.
He will play with big players and i think if he keeps himself fit, he can really play a big part.
*sigh* Get out
Looks like City failed to get Van Bommel, De Rossi and Gago if they went to sign Owen.
I think it's the right club for him, they have a top class medical facilities and the way they build their players muscle mass up in such a short space I can see Hargreaves being a top player again in a few months. High intensity build up at City will either a) Cripple him again or b) Restart his career.
I think he will get some games, will be interesting to see him play with Nasri/Aguero/Dzeko/Balotelli.
And let's be honest if he can get himself back to full fitness he's 10 times the player Gareth Barry is.

Max Gradel joins St Etienne.
Yiche.
He chose them over WBA/Sochaux/Nice.

Get ready to say... ''Get the heck out of here!''
Asamoah Gyan is on the transfer market and guess who's the front runner for him?
Harry Redknapp.
I kid you not, Harry Redknapp is interested in signing him from Sunderland. Steve Bruce has told him he can be sold and some French teams are also in for him but Harry has 'more than expressed interest' in the Ghanaian. Wonder if QPR will make a sneaky bid for him...

But thanks for taking him 
If you get Liam Ridgewell, enjoy LOL! he works hard, but lacks pace and concentration most of the time.
Dann is in line with like 7 clubs, who knows where he goes, would be a great signing for QPR, would lead the back 4 well, just as Johno has miraculously changed Wolves shaky defence.
Anton Ferdinand looks certain to sign.
:O Why are they selling him?
I'm shocked he's on the market but don't get what's so shocking about Redknapp wanting him? especially of Crouch is leaving
