Richard Dunne to Aston Villa

Friday, 08. 14. 2009  –  Category: Aston Villa, Manchester City, Premier League

The Express seems to think that Villa are interested in Richard ‘Big Bum’ Dunne, as a replacement for the formerly excellent Martin Laursen. If we were to go on Dunne’s form of 2 years ago, this would be an excellent and eminently sensible decision. However it’s not, and since the arrival of Sparky [...]

Joleon Lescott to Manchester City

Tuesday, 07. 21. 2009  –  Category: Everton, Manchester City, Premier League

As City seek to buy all the best players from second tier English Clubs, Lescott naturally appears on their list. He’s an excellent player and a key member of the Everton team, and would be extremely difficult to replace, even with the large amounts of cash being thrown Bill Kenwright’s way.
In spite of the ridiculous [...]

Manchester City Summer 2009 Transfer Window Preview

Friday, 07. 17. 2009  –  Category: Manchester City, Premier League

Who they need
Apparently they need another forward, likely to be in the shape of Emmanuel Adebayor, which is perplexing, but I guess if you’ve got £200 million to spend, who’s to tell you how to spend it.  They’re also looking at some defenders, John Terry remains a possiblity, but they’re strugging to attract world class [...]

John Terry to Manchester City

Wednesday, 07. 15. 2009  –  Category: Chelsea, Manchester City, Premier League

Well, this would certainly be a result for City.  But it’s hard to imagine how the following doesn’t constitute illegal tapping up:
We would like to think we could offer (Terry) a different challenge. From my own experience, when you have been with a club a long time, you maybe get to a point when you [...]

Carlos Puyol to Manchester City

Monday, 07. 6. 2009  –  Category: Barcelona, La Liga, Manchester City, Premier League

The Sun has managed to win our award for most ridiculous transfer rumour of 2009/10.  Honestly, either City’s buying pattern is based upon Fifa 08 on xBox, or the Sun is printing absolute bullshit.  Both are entirely believeable.
Even if this ridiculous situation were remotely conceiveable, there’s no way it would ever, ever happen.  To be [...]

Samuel Eto’o to Manchester City : Update 1

Tuesday, 06. 30. 2009  –  Category: Barcelona, La Liga, Manchester City, Premier League

When we last covered this rumour, our assesment was that there was not much doing here; that it was likely the results of City’s quixotic quest to buy every single forward in the world and Eto’o’s agents trying to make some money by horse trading their prize asset.
Subsequent to those initial rumours, City have put [...]

Robinho to Barcelona

Wednesday, 06. 10. 2009  –  Category: Barcelona, La Liga, Manchester City, Premier League

In a move bound to please the faithful at Eastlands, Robinho has suggested that he wouldn’t mind playing for Barcelona:
“So far, there have only been speculations, there is nothing concrete and I haven’t received any offers.
“The only thing I can say is that Barcelona are a great team and everybody would love to play for [...]

Gareth Barry to Manchester City

Tuesday, 06. 2. 2009  –  Category: Aston Villa, Manchester City, Premier League

It seems that Gareth Barry is in talks, no having a medical for Manchester City. So much for realising his dream of playing in the Champions League. The repercussions of this move are likely to colour the rest of the transfer season. Firstly, it makes the Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid rumours [...]

Miguel Veloso to Manchester City

Monday, 05. 4. 2009  –  Category: Manchester City, Portuguese Liga, Premier League, Sporting Lisbon

As city look to strengthen their underachieving squad, player agents look to see if they can a piece of the money that’s being thrown around by the Sheikhs, they dust of their prize assets and parade them before prize idiot Garry Cook. The prize asset in this case is Miguel Veloso, former Bolton target, [...]

Samuel Eto’o to Manchester City

Tuesday, 04. 28. 2009  –  Category: Barcelona, La Liga, Manchester City, Premier League

The latest madness from City relates to Mr Eto’o, who just yesterday was saying ‘I have no intention of leaving the best club in the world‘, yet the Times believes that talks were held with Eto’o’s people about a possible transfer to city.
Hrmmmm.
More than likely this is a Mr 10% situation, where his advisors, agents, [...]
