The Sun - City aces get £168k watches By NICK PARKER
MANCHESTER City stars met their mega-rich club owner last night - who presented each player with a watch worth £168,000.
New signings Carlos Tevez, Roque Santa Cruz and Gareth Barry were among the Sky Blues squad handed the special edition Franck Muller timepieces.
Sheikh Mansour - who bought the club last year for £200million - showed off his jaw-dropping generosity as he treated the team to a lavish royal reception at his palace in Abu Dhabi.
Earlier big-spending club boss Mark Hughes and the players checked in to sumptuous suites at the five-star Emirates Palace Hotel.
A club source said last night: "Manchester City's players are now the most pampered on earth, and they were greeted like kings."
City is on the brink of signing Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor for £25million after agreeing to pay him £170,000 a week.
And efforts continue to lure Chelsea skipper John Terry.
On Saturday the team will be in South Africa for the Vodacom Challenge pre-Premiership season warm-up. They will play Orlando Pirates at Polokwane, then Kaizer Chiefs in Durban on Tuesday.
