How many times do we see people talk about ‘they’ve got no personality, they’re just like robots’.”Obviously I don’t agree with that (Alexander-Arnold’s title claim) but it’s his opinion. There’s nothing wrong with his opinion.”People always go on like Man City were created in 2008 when they got the investment. But Man City were getting 20-30,000 in the lower leagues.”They come from good stock and now they’ve started to win things everyone wants to lump in.Most read in FootballCHELTENHAM BETTING OFFERS – BEST FREE BET DEALS FOR THE FESTIVAL “Yes they have spent a lot of money but they’ve got a great manager, great players, they’ve won the Treble, they’ve won the league multiple times.”Keane and Sturridge then intervened, with former Manchester United captain Keane waving him arm in a calm down gesture.Stunned Roy Keane checks Solskjaer’s drink after he claims former Man Utd star ‘gave 8-10 every time’Richards then continued: “Alisson was £75million and so was [Virgil] Van Dijk. Look at the starting point where Liverpool was to where Man City were starting.”Liverpool had been winning European Cups for years and years and years. Anfield, we talk about it so much because of their pedigree.”I have no problem with what Trent said. But obviously from [Phil] Foden’s point of view of coming through the academy, winning the Treble, winning the league, he will have his view.”[Erling] Haaland will have his view as well. I don’t mind it. I think it’s good for the league.”Following Alexander-Arnold’s comments, Haaland had hit back saying: “If he wants to say that, okay. I’ve been here one year and I’ve won the Treble.”It was quite a nice feeling. I don’t think he knows exactly this feeling. That’s what I felt last season and it was quite nice.” More
