City never had an offer in for him. He trying to incite something like players do like Aguero did when he said united were in for him when they wern't.
Its a rival thing he does it to try to show who is the power house all players are doing it these days. But it's okay I wouldn't expect you to understand.
Again why would he lie. I know you are used to it happening with City but I doubt he would lie. Every player you have bought in the last 3 years is linked with us just to make them credible.
Joey Barton and Carlos Tevez come to mind.
