Football has lost a true great

Sir Bobby Robson has passed away, I do not need to go in detail about his achievements within the game of football because anyone who knows football knows about Sir Bobby. The world has lost a true great and I would suggest everyone has a moment today where they think about Sir Bobby.

Sir Bobby Robson CBE (8 February 1933 – 31 July 2009)

Bojinov goes to Parma on loan!

Valeri Bojinov has joined Serie A side Parma on a season long loan deal.

I am not happy about Hughes letting Boj go and I think he has made a bad decision. I feel Boj was worth having in our squad at the very least and would suggest Hughes has let a quality player leave.

Bojinov's agent has been quoted as saying that City would not let him leave permanently and I hope that is the case. I am hoping the idea will be for him to get an injury free season under his belt and come back, all the same I still would have rather seen him stay.

Should Boj have stayed?

Farewell Elano!

We seen it coming and now it has happened, Brazilian International Elano has left City and signed a four year deal with Galatasaray.

Even though Elano leaving was on the cards now that it has happened I feel a bit gutted, Elano arrived at City and immediately treated us to some wonderful football.

I think I was hoping that he would stay and prove his worth to Hughes, although I think it was probably for non football reasons that Hughes decided to move him on.

I do wish he had stayed but whats done is done, thank you Elano for treating us City fans to some wonderful displays of football whilst playing in our shirt.

Goodbye Elano!

Nedum Signs new deal!

Nedum Onuoha has signed a new five year contract, this is another example of academy players not being pushed aside for big signings.

This is great news as far as I am concerned especially with rumoured interest from Everton.

Nedum is a good player and I am a huge fan of his, he has come on a lot in recent times and I have no doubt in my mind that if he continues to improve then he will be a full England International for many years to come.

Hughes has done well to recognise that he needs to concentrate on the talent he already has considering all the big money players he has had to work on bringing in.

Toure follows Adebayor to City!

City have completed the signing of Kolo Toure from Arsenal, the defender has signed a four deal.

I have to say that I am delighted with this signing, I am a long time fan of Kolo Toure and I am certain he will make a difference to our defence.

I am actually happier with the signing Toure than if we were to sign John Terry, he is cheaper for starters, quicker, better at attacking and I think he can defend just as well as him.

So now City have finally signed a defender maybe just maybe we will stop getting flack about only signing strikers off other teams fans, one less thing for them to have a go at us for I suppose.

Is Toure a good signing?

Toure fee agreed?

Sky Sports News are reporting that City are close to agreeing a £16 million fee with Arsenal for Kolo Toure.

If we pay £16 million we will be paying at least £3 million to much, I am sure City fans will look past that though considering how good he is.

I really hope this transfer happens, I have been a long time admirer of Kolo Toure and get ready for this but I hold him in higher a regard to John Terry.

More to come if the transfer is confirmed!

Terry stays at Chelsea, so what now?

John Terry has committed to Chelsea today, the Chelsea Captain has said he never intended to leave Stamford Bridge.

I have to say I am not to bothered about not getting Terry, he is obviously a damn good player but at the price quoted he was way over priced, I thought the best thing that could have come from signing Terry was that we would have muscled Chelsea.

Terry says he was never going to leave but I think we all know that is rubbish, he was obviously thinking about it otherwise he would have made a statement a while ago.

So now that Terry has ruled himself out who would you like to see City go for next? Lescott has been linked and I know a lot of City fans would have him but for me apart from the goals he scores he is no better a defender than Dunney.

I would like to see us go for Juan from Roma, he is a strong defender who can also play the ball out.

Who would you like?
