Money in common but no Chelsea déjà vu

Football story by sport.co.uk, Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:37:41 GMT



England winger Shaun Wright-Phillips insists that he is happy with the influx of players at Manchester City and sees no similarities in the situation he faced at Chelsea when new acquisitions marginalised his opportunities to play first team football. The diminutive wideman, who returned to Eastlands twelve months ago after three years in London, made clear that history was not repeating itself.


"The only thing Chelsea and Manchester City  have in common is the fact that both clubs have a lot of money," he told The Sun.


"Apart from that there are no similarities. I left for Chelsea to learn new things, at a new club with new players.


"At City I went back there on the basis of playing for manager Mark Hughes.  It was a club I knew well already and it still feels like home to me.


"Most of the staff are the same. The place feels the same. There are just new players around and that is exciting."
