Who do you want? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/squad_selector/default.stm Totally forgot David Silva is coming as well, put in Petrov's position. Robinho maybe in Bellamy's if he plays or Ireland. Probably Micah Richards starting instead of Boateng ...
Has to be Milner, if necessary throw in SWP as change . And an upgrade to Adebayor: Dzeko the target ... Berbatov or Fabiano is who I'd target instead. Couldn't they have gone after Luca Toni before ... ? Elsewhere: sell Mascherano, buy KP Boateng & Wayne Bridge or seal the Loïc Remi saga .
ouch, What a blunder from chelsea's goalkeeper http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/blog...of-up-not-helping-his-case-to-?urn=sow-257889
City boss Mancini eyes Torres bid Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini admits he is ready to bid for Fernando Torres (seen here in March … MANCHESTER, England (AFP) – Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini admits he is ready to bid for Fernando Torres if the Liverpool striker shows interest in moving to Eastlands. Mancini was given hope that he may be able to sign Torres when new Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson revealed the Spain star has a "beef" with the club in the aftermath of a woeful campaign last season. Torres has yet to publicly commit his future to the Reds and Mancini hinted he would love to continue his spending spree by tempting the former Atletico Madrid player away from Anfield. Mancini has already splashed out close to 90 million pounds on Jerome Boateng, Aleksandar Kolarov, Yaya Toure and David Silva, but City's Abu Dhabi-based owners are willing to pay the 50 million pound fee needed to land Torres, as well as chasing Aston Villa midfielder James Milner. "Torres is one of the best strikers in Europe and is already playing in the Premier League for three years and knows it very well," Mancini said. "But it depends on his situation, his price and whether he wants to come. "There are two or three strikers that we could go for, but it is the same situation as it is with James Milner. "First there is the price and then it depends if the players want to change team. Until today, Liverpool haven't bought many players." Although Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill insists he won't let Milner leave unless City meet his valuation of the England international - believed to be around 30 million pounds - Mancini is adamant City won't be held to ransom. "When Manchester City enquire about a 10 million pounds player, the club asks for 20 million pounds. That is not good for us," Mancini said. "James is still a player who interests us but only at the right price." While the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal have spent little in the transfer market during the close-season, Mancini has continued to throw money around with abandon. The former Inter Milan boss, who took charge of the club in December, believes City's financial muscle has the rest of the Premier League running scared and he won't rule out a challenge for the title this season. "Are they scared? I think so. At the moment only Manchester City are buying players," Mancini said. "But that is normal because Manchester City want to improve and the other teams are just big teams who would like a lot of people. "I think all these teams over the years have spent a lot of money - Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool but now City do. "We have a big opportunity to win the league if we believe in ourselves and do our jobs. We have improved as a team. "It depends if we can put together a team in the short time available. In my experience, I know after the World Cup in every country there can be a different situation in the league. "Last year, we fought for fourth place until the penultimate game against Tottenham - the aim this year is to try to win the Premier League. That must be our target."
haha one club can only register 25 players how many player mc want to buy?50? divide into two club ah?
There are always ghost players (totaling nearly 30 players; probably U19 for the purpose of development) that can be summoned up when the need arises.
REAL MADRID NEWS Emotional Raul leaves Real Madrid Real Madrid legend Raul bid farewell to the Bernabeu on Monday after 16 years of service and admitted his future now lies "in Germany or England." GettyImages Raul scored 323 goals for Real Madrid A tearful Raul admitted that it was an emotional day for him, before paying tribute to the club, staff and fans. He leaves as Real's all-time leading goalscorer and the all-time leading scorer in the Champions League. "Today is a day of intense feeling for me, I want to thank everyone," Raul said. "I would like to tell the fans that in every run, every tackle, I've always given everything. I've always given 100% for this club." Raul, whose departure closely follows that of long-serving midfielder Guti, was expected to join Bundesliga club Schalke on a two-year deal but has hinted that there is interest for him in England. "Schalke is interested in me and I have had very deep discussions with them,'' he said. "In a few days I will know whether I'll be going to the Bundesliga, but there are other teams that are also interested. What is clear is that my future lies in Germany or England.'' Raul has won six La Liga titles, three Champions Leagues, four Spanish Super Cups and one UEFA Super Cup, as well as becoming the first player to score in two Champions League finals, against Valencia and Bayer Leverkusen in 2000 and 2002 respectively. "I would like to thank all the presidents, especially Florentino Perez, who has always tried to take this club forward," he said. "I have always been made to feel welcome. "I want to thank the players, coaches, managers and staff who I have worked with day in day out. "Today is a new start for me. 16 years ago I pulled on the white shirt for the first time. My heart will always be with Madrid. Real Madrid is my life and my home." Florentino Perez, who introduced Raul before his farewell statement, also paid tribute to the departing idol. "We will never forget Raul,'' he said. "There are many men who form part of the legend of Real Madrid, but few that are chosen to embody the club - Raul is one of those.'' Raul, who scored 323 goals in 740 games for Real and 44 goals in 102 games for Spain, confirmed his wish to experience a new challenge but hinted that he will return to Madrid in another capacity once his playing career is over. "This is my last chance to experience a foreign league," he said. "I am 33 and wanted to experience new training techniques and a new language and culture for my family." Raul will be succeeded by Iker Casillas as club captain.

I had to watch it a few times to see what actually happened but the crowd judging by the oohs and aahs immediately noticed. Having watched the Spain U19 a couple of times now, for this level they look even better than the senior team. Simply brilliant. In fact I'll upload the final here after it's played for your viewing pleasure between the two best teams: France and Spain. In the mean while [video=youtube;AKlucE-5nIM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKlucE-5nIM[/video]
