Does anyone else think that there is going to be alot of good upset players at City this season?

Look at all the forwards they have brought in (Santa Cruz, Robinio, Bellamy, Adebayor, Bojnov, Tevez). Taking into account that they can only play like 3 of these players at a time, there is going to be some top class players not getting playtime.

Oh, and there is probably a ton of spelling errors in there.

true, i can easily see some of there players sulking when they dont start or play, expect atleast 1 or 2 to go next summer

Hmmm..about Argentinian transfers

-We signed Federico Insúa from America

-América signed Montenegro from Independiente

-Pastore and Bertolo went to Palermo (great players, Palermo will do very well)

-Andújar went to Catania (will probably fight with Buffon and Júlio Cesar for best keeper of the Serie A)

-Iván Pillud signed for Espanyol

 

Some I can think of

lol, i get lots of news of the bbc website too, i also listen to the radio alot during the season, and sky sports news channel is fairly accurate.

Peter Crouch has flown to the North East for talks with Sunderland boss Steve Bruce after the Black Cats agreed a £12m fee with Portsmouth.

The England striker is also a target for Fulham boss Roy Hodgson who is set to sell Bobby Zamora to Hull for £5m.



All i have to say is it is a long way to go if he isnt interessted in the transfer. He is an international and a quality player. Will be a good buy for Sunderland.



sky sports news channel is fairly accurate


That is the best and proabably fastest source for reliable infomation.

yeah, ive found that, i watch it a fair amount during the season, its the channel i first saw the Micheal Owen news on.



I was checking that site for Everton transfers

"City tabled a £15m bid for the 26-year-old defender on Thursday as they hope to pair him with England and Chelsea captain John Terry. "

What the fuck??? City is trying to sign Terry??

reportedly, yes, but Chelsea's manager and cheif executive have both said he is not for sale, intrestingly (perhaps) John Terry himself has yet to make a statement commiting to Chelsea or saying he wants to leave.

the Lescott bid i believe was rejected by Everton also, stupidly it seems City arent willing to spend as much on Defenders as they are on Strikers.
