How many fucking stikers do Man City want?

Kinda like Real Madrid in that respect...

Wouldnt mind seeing Dos Santos at Atletico, I read the Tosic claims as well, it seems that Ronaldo definitley didnt leave in bad blood after a massive tantrum, it seems he did it respectfully to the club and players, credit to him for that at least. I have literaly been praying for over a week now that we sign Benzema and with Tevez out of the way, I am really hoping this comes to fruition. Bojan plus 20 million is a pretty good offer but it is hard to tell whether or not Bojan can be big in England, perhaps playing with his countrymen in Torres he can form a good partnership but it is a bit of a risk especialy when you consider how much of a defensive rock Masch is for an attacking talent that might not perform in England.

Fingers crossed for Benzema, it seems that Lyon are tempting United in hopes of receiving a big bid. Costa looks like an absolute star and I really dont know about Valencia, Nani and Park are surely as capable as him

i think its either portsmouth (officially) or everton... :(

Haha lol yeh right.

35 mil is a pretty decent bid for Benzema considering his potential, current talent, list of suitors and Lyon's reputation for hiking up the prices

f this goes through I am so buying the kit, been a Benzema fan since before he scored his first goal for Lyon

Nakamura to Espanyol? Really cant see that happening I thought he was desperately wanting a return to Japan

As did we, which is why we let his cotract run out, rather than entering negotiations. If he now turns around and decides he's going to Spain, I'm going to be rather pissed off.
