Landon Donavon....hmmmm......in terms of profile for City it would doubtless be a good thing. He did really bloody well at Neverton last year.

If he came and understood that he would be used as an impact player and/or as cover for our frontline strikers and that Tevez, Adebayor, Bellamy and AN Other were all more likely to be a starter than him then honestly I'd have no problem with it.

I think he would love being at City, anyone of his kind of level would be buzzing to be at City this season. He'd try his bollocks off Bellamy style (I think).

Can't see it being true...but if it were and he were joined by a new striking addition such as Dzeko then I would be quite happy with our options up front.

Tbh I was shocked at how well he played v us for Everton & I'm not against us having one or two more 'down to Earth' players in the squad to balance out the 'stars' & their egos so, like Milner, I can take or leave him.

American talkshow hosts with their kids playing football in City shirts though...(gives Simpson's style shudder).

Sandro Rosell takes over at mid day today (11am UK).

The two 'hot potatoes' he has to deal with are the Fabregas deal and Touré, with lesser probs like the departure of Henry and Ibrahimovic's feelings. Some stories run about Touré's agent going back to Barca etc, but I reckon the Mail has the sensible line. It will be 'rubber-stamped' sometime this afternoon hopefully.

City in for Torres and perhaps Torres getting into City...??

Yes, Colin, you really need to think about this 'NO to Torres' business.

CTK you're one of the most well thought and sensible posters on this board...don't blow it by talking about turning down a chance to sign Torres

That's just crazy talk kid ;-)

stuart brennan has got pretty much everything wrong this window. yesterday there was a story that city were not very far down the line with silva.... about 3 hours later he was signed.

pure guess work, in the hope that it actually comes off so he looks like a journo god!

Here We Go Now!!

Corriere claims Lazio's Aleksandar Kolarov is "practically a Man City player". Fee €18m. Beaten competition from Real.

Dzeko is agititing for a move because wolfburg have slapped a 50 million price tag on him, clearly we're not prepared to spend anything like that sort of money as we allowed the 32.5 million release clause deadline to pass without moving - footballs fans of other clubs and the gutter press may think our owners are brain dead idiots with more money than sense however we know better
I suspect we've offered about 25 million for Dzeko and they are testing our resolve

Torres is an injury worry but if that's only a short term thing, he's more skillful, better in the air, faster, beats men better, shoots better, finishes better, is more intelligent, stronger, more experienced in the Pl, has less big game nerves, misses less chances & sells more shirts than Dzeko. There is no fucking comparison whatsoever at present.


...and that's coming from someone who can't stand the cheating, human fish, bastard.
