Martin Petrov has accused Manchester City of being unprofessional towards him as his contract with the club ran out.[LNB] Petrov was officially unveiled as a Bolton player today following his release by City at the end of a three-year deal.[LNB]The Bulgaria international, who was brought to Eastlands by Sven-Goran Eriksson in 2007, had hoped to extend his time there despite struggling to hold down a place in the team over the last two seasons.[LNB]Persistent knee problems and a constant stream of expensive new signings arriving at City made life tough for Petrov - but the midfielder says he was most frustrated by the club's lack of communication with him about his future.[LNB]"It was frustrating, but not because I didn't play - I understand, because they are buying big stars now for so much money," Petrov said.[LNB]"Every time I played on the pitch I showed that I have a place in this team, but okay, the decision is the manager's.[LNB]"But the worst thing is that the communication in this club with the players who do not play is not professional.[LNB]"I am 31 years old and I felt like I was 13 there. Nobody spoke with me about my situation - they knew that my contract was finishing."
