Bacary Sagna has hit back at critics who labelled him greedy when he quit Arsenal for Manchester City by saying: 'It's not about money – I wanted to boost my career.' The French full-back has finally joined City after months of wrangling, having turned down offers from Arsenal to renew his contract, which ends this month. And after helping France through to the last 16 of the World Cup in Wednesday night's goalless draw with Ecuador in Rio, Sagna hit back at the rumours he had been trying to simply hike up his wages at Arsenal, pointing out that he had been on the same deal at the Emirates for the past six years.
