City don't withdraw JT bid

Sky Sports News have reported that Manchester City's bid for John Terry hasn't been withdraw after Chelsea turned it down, which leaves City fans quite confused as to what's going on behind the scenes as it's certainly suspicious as surely City wouldn't put a bid in for someone like John Terry if they hadn't sounded out the possibility of such a deal happening, it has been mentioned on forums before and fans have been told of a 'surprise' from Garry Cook. Also him being the poster boy for Umbro would be a great link up given our new deal with Umbro. This one i suspect is far from over though....

A Slow few days...

Many City fans were expecting this wednesday - friday to be exciting times, with the launch of the new site and maybe a signing or two but all that happened was the site launched many hours late, and the deals on Eto'o and Tevez have gone quiet (which is hopefully good) Eto'o will hopefully move on next week as Barca are close to signing David Villa, and the latest rumour is that Tevez will sign on Monday.

Birmingham to take Hart.

News filters through today that Joe Hart will join Birmingham on loan on his return from the under 21 championships, a good move for all parties involved as Joe wants first team football, City don't want to lose him and Birmingham are coming up from the Championship so Joe will be their 1st choice keeper and experience a tough season more than likely.

Kia Joorabchian discusses Tevez's decision.

After the news that Tevez wouldn't be returning to United this morning, his agent Kia Joorabchian discussed in this article with the Daily Mail, bringing up some interesting points that could be interpreted that Tevez will be coming City along with saying on a TalkSport radio interview today that his client wants a club with ambition, grassroots and history. If City manage to pull this one off it will be a huge sign of intent in taking a player that Alex Ferguson was willing to pay £25 million for and make one of the highest paid players at United, and losing him to City will be a bitter blow and will raise City's profile around the world.

We've got Robinho...

As if we needed reminding we have one of the most exciting attacking players on the planet in our team, he decides to tell us himself in this interview on the Official Site claiming he only knows one way to play football, a love for the beautiful game and it's brazilian art which will bring a smile to the face of blues worldwide, it still shocks me we have such a player in our team and his love for City, lets hope he gets just a taste of winning trophies in the Confederations Cup and it gives him the extra edge to bring one to Eastlands!

He used to play for United, Tevez, Tevez....

The long drawn out transfer saga of Carlos Tevez looks to be coming to a close after Manchester United's Official Site announced today that the player would not be extending his loan deal with United, paving the way for a controversial move across the border.

Tevez's mooted switch to city has dragged on for a month leaving blues fans patiently waiting and hoping for the Argentine to join Hughes' revolution, and after the announce of the sale of Ronaldo and the Champions Leauge defeat to Barcelona, it is another blow to United fans after their loud protests during the Premier League season with chants of 'Fergie, sign him up'. Well luckily for City fans it looks like Hughesy has signed him up and will be City's biggest signing of the summer.

Santa Cruz is coming to town!

After almost a year of chasing, Hughesy has seemingly got his man. According to Sky Sports News, City have agreed a mammoth fee of £18 million with Blackburn.

Hughesy will be delighted to get his man after having bids frustratingly turned down in august and january, and it is a debate which has split city fans down the middle, but nonetheless it seems he is on his way and following the signing of Gareth Barry, it is another step in the right direction for City.

Superman's summer workout..

After last season's remarkable upturn in form for Stevie Ireland, city fans and football followers alike asked one question....how?!

Stevie ireland was on the brink of a move to sunderland (if some are to be believed) and most city fans thought the player had no future with the club and were tired of his inconsistent performances knowing the talent he posesses.

But Superman had other plans, he knuckled down in the summer, working hard on his fitness and as the season started he put in a fantastic performance against West Ham in August and the rest was history...

Can he do the same again next season? He's certainly giving it 100% in the off-season to keep himself at his peak of fitness prepared for the start of pre-season going off this article on Stevie's summer activities. If only we had more players as commited to the cause as Superman!
