    Apparently a New Sheikh is taking over at City which will put them on a par Financially with Chelsea. The club have even announced in a statement of their intent to break into the Chmpions League places this season. Think the Berbatov to City thing is now going to happen now as Manchester Evening news journalist has been on radio confirming it all.

  • Blimey, former Welling United player Steve Finnan signs for Espanyol on a two year deal.
  • not much business being done. I guess that the CCC clubs know that they can still loan players after the deadline so maybe happy to wait from next week but still surprised.

    Deals so far according to the BBC

    John Akinde [Ebbsfleet - Bristol City] £140,000 - Missed out on : - )

    Nadir Belhadj [Lens - Portsmouth] Loan - Means Cranie is available

    Rachid Bouaouzan [NEC Nijmegen - Wigan] Loan - Never heard of him

    Vedran Corluka [Manchester City - Tottenham] £8.5m - No idea

    Blerim Dzemaili [Bolton - Torino] Loan - C'mon Torino

    Vitor Flora [Botafogo - Liverpool] Free - Headline writers dream

    Omar Garcia [Athletic Bilbao - Rotherham] Free Slight culture shock for Omar there.

    Ignacio Gonzalez [Valencia - Newcastle] Loan - What happened to our Valencia deal

    Miguel Angel Llera [unattached - MK Dons] - Who?

    Tyrone Mears [Derby - Marseille] Loan - Bizzare

    Karleigh Osborne [Brentford - Oxford Utd] Loan - Yeah, whatever

    Roman Pavlyuchenko [Spartak Moscow - Tottenham] £14m - Who was that Russian/Ukranian player who flopped at Spurs? Scored against us in the cup?

    Louis Saha [Man Utd - Everton] Undisclosed - Good deal if they can get him fit.

    John Stead [Sheff Utd - Ipswich] Loan - Charlton Reject

    Javan Vidal [Man City - Grimsby] Loan - Who knows

    Gabriel Zakuani [Fulham - Peterborough] Loan - Big drop
  • "Omar Garcia [Athletic Bilbao - Rotherham] Free Slight culture shock for Omar there."

    the bbc text update is hilarious!

    "1718: "Berbatov's missus (who is well fit) has just told Bulgarian TV he wants to win the Champions League this season. This would seem to rule out City."

    load of old pony !!! Real Madrid have not made a bid their Chairman says. The Koshers have not given permission for Berbatov to speak to Moan Utd ? so Sir Alex must be cabbing for city then ?
  • Just think of the bids that city would have made if they had been taken over a few days ago.

    The entire Brazil, Argentina, Holland and Italy squads for starters...after all they own the oil. All the oil.

    I suppose camel racing just doesn't do it for them these days...

    Anyone spot this on the Beeb gossip page:
    "
    "The Hammers have rejected a £5m bid from Sunderland for 24-year-old striker Carlton Cole. (The Independent)"

    What does Curbs see in CC now compared to when he managed him at Charlton....?
