its going to show us all how well we will do im not saying we will win them both but i wouldnt be suprised when was the last time city kept 3 clean sheets in a row lol?? i know they wernt exactly hard games but concentration has always let us down but the commitment seems to be their to want too win and keep clean sheets. I said i didnt rate Toure when we signed him but hes been outstanding and give us that mental toughness to win now

Citeh's signings have made them a great deal stronger, but they haven't made them capable of bridging the gap between where they were last season and winning the title.

5th should be the aim for Citeh. A top four finish would exceed expectations, but any player who says Citeh have a title winning squad should be paid special attention by the drug testers.

And Johnson and Terry.

Cole was the only defender who impressed at the weekend. Judging by Ferdinand's last appearance for England, our strongest back four would not include Camel Gob

Rio mustn't be that bad if Real and Barca are sniffing.

Look's like City could be in trouble for for illegal signing of a player.

It's interesting. Chelsea get in hot water. Then United are in similar rumours, now City.

If I was a betting man, I'd stake money on Platini having put them all up to it to stop those dastardly English clubs in their tracks.

You're obsessed, my scouse friend.


To sign a youngster from a Frnech team, the buying club need to have an ITC (an interntaional clearance form, of sorts). City went ahead with the signing of Jeremy Helan after receiving an ITC. Le Harve are claiming that City were sent the ITC by the FFF in error.

I see that most of the articles on this subject have not mentioned this fact. Le Harve are claiming that Helan broke the contract he signed when he was 13! Like many fans, I know I am biased but it does appear that the only ones who have done anything wrong is the FFF or Helan.

Why is this being led by French clubs? Interesting that French clubs are kicking up a stink when they take masses of young footballers from Africa without paying a fee.

How do you explain the actions that were taken against Roma and FC Sion?
