City finally announce Gai Assulin signing *videos*

Gai Assulin has finally been announced by the Club as a City player.

He has been at the club for a little while now but City have been monitoring a knee injury and have also been sorting out compensation with Barcelona.

Barcelona had high hopes for Assulin, he was touted as a future world star, something which was acknowledged throughout football not just by his own club.

Currently 19 years old Assulin was given his first pro contract by Barca as a 16 year old with a massive 20 million euro buy out clause in it, which shows you how much he was rated.

After deciding he would not get a proper chance at Barca he decided to leave when his contract expired, leaving City to pay nothing more than a small development fee to Barcelona.

Other clubs were interested in him including Blackburn whom he trained with as well as Arsenal, but City won the race for his signature so lets hope he can fulfill all that speculated potential.

Is Vieira a good signing?

Roberto Mancini's first signing has been made, Patrick Vieira was the chosen man but has he still got what it takes?

Mancini has described Vieira as a World class midfielder, there is no doubt that Vieira was once a World class player but if he still has what it takes to compete in the Premier League remains unknown.

Since leaving Arsenal he has had a lot of injury problems that have disrupted his time in Italy badly at times, saying that when he has played I personally have not seen him play a bad game.

I am pleased with the signing of Vieira, he will bring lots of experience and class to the squad and those two things will help all of our squad improve especially the younger lads. The other reason that I am happy we have signed him is just because of who he is, it's great having top class players like Tevez and Robinho at the club but when a Premier League legend like Vieira signs that you have grew up watching it feels very special.

I genuinely believe that we have made a good signing, if it doesn't work out then we haven't committed to him by giving him a huge contract and if it does work out as I think it will, then that will benefit us no end.

What are your feelings on the signing of Vieira?

Adebayor signs for City!

Emmanuel Adebayor has decided to swap the south for the north and has signed for City!

Adebayor has signed a five year deal and will wear the number 25 shirt.

Every week as a City fan seems to be getting better, I think the signing of Adebayor is a real sign of intent. He is genuinely one of the best strikers in Europe and a player that I think can score plenty of goals for us in the Premier League.

I know how the Arsenal fans feel about him and to be honest I have my worries about his attitude, but I am sure Hughes would have been well aware what he was signing before let him put pen to paper. It might be a fresh start that he needs and thankfully that fresh start can now come whilst playing for City.

Is Adebayor a good signing? Have a look at this video to refresh your memory.

Carlos Tevez is 99.9% signed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

City have announced that terms with Carlos Tevez have been agreed and the move has also been rubber stamped by Premier League and the Football Association.

After Tevez has had a medical he is expected to sign a five year deal with City.

Mark Hughes said.............

"It is terrific news," "Carlos is an International player of the highest class who possesses all the attributes that will help drive this club forward.

"He is not only outstanding technically but he is a reliable goal scorer and someone who will contribute fully to the team ethic. He gives us another exciting, attacking dimension.

"I cannot wait to welcome him to City. This is yet another deal that shows the commitment of the owner Sheikh Mansour to make this club the very best it can possibly be. I am sure our fans will give Carlos an exceptionally warm welcome."

This signing is bound to get a lot of us excited, Tevez is a player respected throughout football and has unquestionable ability.

Hopefully now that we have a target man in Santa Cruz Tevez will benefit from the way we play no end, things are starting to get exciting especially with a deal for Adebayor being talked about.

Are you happy with the signing of Tevez?

Taylor signs for City!

City have this afternoon confirmed the capture of Aston Villa goalkeeper Stuart Taylor.

Taylor's arrival is expected to pave the way for Joe Hart to leave the club on loan, the transfer might be a surprise to some people but has been on the cards for a couple of weeks.

Taylor is a decent keeper and will be a good back up for Shay Given throughout the season, it makes you wonder what is going to happen with Kasper Schmeichel, if he is staying you would have thought it is time he at least gets trusted as our reserve keeper.

The length of Taylor's contract is one year according to our official site, although sky sports are reporting a four year deal. He arrives at City as a free agent.

The signings continue, I am hoping to see some news on Tevez and Eto'o next!
