Say what you will about the obscene amount of money being spent by Manchester City this summer, but you have to admit that there's a certain perverse pleasure in watching someone build a real-life club lineup in much the same way that most regular joes would create their starting XI in a video game. Okay, […]

/ 6093 days agoThe Craig Bellamy Factor
I am anticipating some serious Craig Bellamy antics in the upcoming season. It's to the point where, if he stays at City, I'll almost be dissapointed if we don't see something on par with The Golf Club Incident (on par... sorry, couldn't resist). I'm not saying I condone personal injury—but serious property damage from a swinging […]

Well, two days are left until the transfer window opens again and Manchester City look like they've signed two strikers to help Mark Hughes drag them up the table. I suppose they need some good news down at Eastlands after the ground flooded on Saturday due to flash floods. With both signings, City could have an […]

When Mark Hughes agreed to replace Sven Goran Eriksson last summer, no doubt he knew things would be interesting at Manchester City, it very rarely isn't in the sky blue half of Manchester, but I doubt he'd have expected anything like the events that ultimately played out. What with the takeover and the crazy final […]

FC Copenhagen chairman Stale Solbakken suggests that Manchester City’s spending will ruin football. "The amounts of money that have been mentioned are incredible," Solbakken told Ekstra-Bladet. "I think that such incredible sums will take part in destroying football. "They are creating too big a mental distance between what we call reality and then Manchester City." The […]

When the financial and managerial reins to Manchester City Football Club changed hands early on this season for the second time in fairly quick succession on both fronts, this time with the Blues having instantly catapulted to the top of the world football rich list, everyone’s attention immediately turned to the January transfer window. What […]

I wonder if Manchester City are ready to cut their losses with Robinho at this time. After the impromptu vacation he took last week, all Manchester City seem willing to do is fine him two weeks wages. To that I say 'big deal'. Do you think Robinho cares about missing a couple hundred more thousand […]

So it's all off then, Kaka has shunned the millions on offer to switch the San Siro for Eastlands, turned his back on an alleged £500,000 a week ( A measly take home salary of £260,000 per week after tax) and declared his love for AC Milan. Am I surprised? A little bit, but it's certainly reaffirmed […]

So Andrei Arshavin is starting to make loud noises about his future, and it doesn't look like playing in Russia is a part of it.

After accepting a sordid envelope with £20m for “Lass” Diarra, Portsmouth rejected shrewd dealer Harry Redknapp’s £30m overture for Jermain Defoe, Glen Johnson and Peter Crouch. Pompey then lessened Defoe’s value markedly, by announcing they would sell him for a fair price. “It looks like Jermain wants to go,” Portsmouth executive chairman Peter Storrie said. […]

A little under 32 hours remain until the transfer window finally opens once again in World Football and the merry go round of mad money begins once again.
