Hart goes on loan to Birmingham!

Joe Hart has completed his season long loan move to Birmingham, the City keeper will be pleased to get first team action in the build up to the World Cup.

Not surprising at all especially after we signed Taylor, it is going to be interesting to watch Hart's performances from a far.

I hope his loan goes well and that he makes the World Cup squad, he might then get the bit between his teeth and come back to City and really provide a challenge for Shay.

Stuart Pearce selects three City players

Joe Hart, Nedum Onuoha and Micah Richards have all been called up to the England under-21 squad for friendlies against Norway and France.

The first game will see the squad travel to Sandefjord to take on Norway on the 27Th of March, they then come back to England to play France on the 31st of March at the City Ground, Nottingham.

Ex City boss Pearce is using the games as preparation for the under-21 European Championships that take place in Sweden this summer.

City say no to Schmeichel loan bids

According to reports today City have told three interested clubs that Kasper Schmeichel will not be allowed to go out on loan.

Schmeichel is reportedly not happy with City's decision....... ''Of course it is disappointing. But I can't say more''

I can only imagine City are reluctant to let Schmeichel go out on loan because they are worried about being short in the Uefa Cup. If Given were to get injured that would leave us without any experienced back up for Joe Hart.

Shay Given signs for Man City!!!!!!!!

It has been confirmed that Shay Given has signed for the blues, the Republic of Ireland International number one has signed a four and a half year contract for an undisclosed fee.

This is a fantastic signing as Joe Hart is not quite good enough and needs to go back a step he jumped and learn his trade properly.

If there was a keeper in the premier league you would want it is Shay Given he is the complete package.

I'm extremely happy with this signing as Hughes shows us yet again he wants established Premier League players to start off what is hopefully a successful building process.
