"No chance, that is impossible. Because I have my own academy [in Sierra Leone) where I have to take care of 13 children, day in, day out. My wages are more important to them, than they are for me. Manchester City is the richest club in the world. They work to a budget that no one else works to, so they can write their own rules. Right now, the club has got itself in a situation where a lot of players have to go on loan" - Bellamy

Have to say a nice quote from Bellamy

krustydoyle · 16-07-2011 1:43am

Have to say i like the new Home Kit

http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Club-news/2011/July/New-Manchester-City-home-kit-revealed

and i dunno whether to believe it or not but Corinthians have come back with a £40 million bid for tevez...

racso1975 · 16-07-2011 8:48am

if they they have then let him go. You folks need to focus on gettin a fairly amazin replacement. And for the love me god please please get rid of adebayor

JohnnyRyan99 · 17-07-2011 1:18am

Anybody else watching the match?

colly_06 · 17-07-2011 1:37am

Yeah, two great goals, SWP is playing out of his skin, also Savic, Dzeko and Clichy looking impressive.

JohnnyRyan99 · 17-07-2011 1:43am

Yeah Clichy did fantastic for the second goal as did Dzeko... Although I always find Dzeko to be too greedy in the key moments!

Vesseli and McGivern throwing in some decent performences as well... Poor ol SWP though, no matter what he does he's destined for the door!

folan · 18-07-2011 9:09am

Tevez looks to be closer to the door.

I didnt see any of last match, so no idea how they played barring what you guys have said. I always hoped Dzeko would come into it more and start getting over that first season in the PL gitters. But he cant be depended on so lets hope for some impressive striker to arrive in too and give some competition!

Desire. · 18-07-2011 12:33pm

Man City have accepted Corinthians' latest bid for Carlos Tevez.

folan · 18-07-2011 4:06pm

while a part of me would love to see Given stay with City, the realistic part of me knows that a move this season was inevitable.

Given needs regular football, is a top quality goal keeper, and I hope the Villa deal works out for him.

3.5m its a great deal for villa, although i think he could do better than villa.

tevez good as gone now, and in a way its not a bad thing to get that sorted out before season starts, now for his replacement????

please get rid of cry baby adebayor...and as for barry, get a midfielder who can pass the ball FORWARD not sideways and backwards all the time!!!

Gillington · 18-07-2011 4:53pm

The transfer window in Brazil shuts on Wednesday so any deal with Corinthians has to be done by then,they are denying that a deal is in place already.

Boateng gone today aswell,wish him well

Gillington · 19-07-2011 12:56pm

John Guidetti signs new contract then scores last night against Vancouver Whitecaps.SWP scores a screamer of a winner.

Yaya's injury hopefully not as bad as first suspected

Excellent! I was under the impression that Guidetti was leaving, so delighted he is staying and hopefully he gets some game time under his belt this coming season.

I wonder has SWP done enough to keep him at City and impress Bobby Manc?

JohnnyRyan99 · 19-07-2011 2:08pm

I've watched both games and SWP has been the pick of the bunch, with Vlad Weiss coming in second!

I always get this feeling that Mancini just doesn't want SWP but tbh i'd love to have him stay, he always offers something a little different when he comes on!

Not sure what to make of Savic, seems pretty gung ho anyway, flies into tackles... kinda looks like a guy that'll be caught in possesion quite a bit as he likes to try and play!

Clichy has been fantastic, always wants to play and is great at moving the ball.

Desire. · 20-07-2011 12:59am

Essential bedtime reading from @swissramble here. Why Man City's whopping new deal should be quite acceptable to UEFA.

Saw this earlier. Have to say I'm keen to see Tevez gone before the season starts, I read reports yesterday that Mancini does not want him back either.

JohnnyRyan99 · 22-07-2011 3:45am

Anyone who checks out www.mcfc.co.uk take a look at one of the latest videos posted up titled.... Summer Tour, Training Day 13.. although the video itself says Training Day 14... You'll cop it yourself. It was put up at 3:02am July 22nd!

But anyway.. Bit of play between Mario and Dzeko near the end that is quality!

darsar · 22-07-2011 10:54am

New jersey looks well IMO. Saw it just now in lifestyle but held of on buying it because the numbering is only black or white in lifestyle but navy on mcfc.co.uk

Would you think that it's going to be navy or like last year only navy for Europe?

Gillington · 23-07-2011 2:00pm

Not soo sure darsar

Timo Hildebrand linked up with the squad in America

JokerD · 23-07-2011 11:36pm

Anyone know the latest on Michael Johnson's fitness? Apparently we're looking at him again(Leeds).

Professional Griefer · 24-07-2011 9:45pm

Balotelli just went clean through on goal . . and tried to back-heel his shot past goalkeeper. He missed. Mancini is furious #MCFC

Mancini is substituting Balotelli in disgrace. 30 minutes gone. #MCFC

Mancini and Balotelli now arguing on the touchline, Mancini blanked him at first but Balo went over to protest #MCFC

From Daniel Taylor

:pac:

Pighead · 24-07-2011 9:48pm

Ballotelli fighting with Mancini again. Apparently he tried to score with a cheeky back heel and missed.

Mancini went mad and substituted him. Blanked him when Ballotelli was walking off but the mad Italian walked up to Roberto and started shouting at him. Never a dull moment with Mario.

daithijjj · 24-07-2011 10:26pm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3EddZSCOds

He was then substituted, Mancini blanked him, Balotelli stood there screamin at him while everyone else was sat down on the bench. After he sat down he threw a bottle which went a fair bit onto the pitch, one of the city staff ran out after it.

I dont think il have him in my fantasy team for the start of the season :pac:

Better one.

Jax Teller · 24-07-2011 10:35pm

Jaysus anyone see clichy after the collision of heads ?

Hedman · 24-07-2011 11:03pm

Stupid to haul Balotelli off for that in a friendly.

Not at all.

The lad needs to know not to **** up no matter what. He's possibly the most immature and egotistical player in the Premiership at the moment no matter how much money he gives to a homeless guy.

Stupid for him to do it in the first place. It may only be a pre season friendly but I think it shows a lack of respect for his fellow players and the opposition. He looked like he didn't give a shít about the game at all. Mancini was right to take him off.

Great player but I don't like his attitude on the pitch.

I disagree tbh. If it was a competitive match then absolutely yes but it's a friendly. Take him off at HT and give him a bollocking in the dressing room by all means but doing it straight after just escalates the issue imo.

Slight bit of public humiliation for Balotelli like that might force him get his act together a small bit.

Doodee · 24-07-2011 11:17pm

Would have been a great goal had it worked :pac:

By doing it publicly I think Mancini is showing that he won't put up with that sort of arsing around. Also Balotelli was the one that made a scene of it afterwards anyway.

I've gained a lot of respect for Mancini after that.

Just watching the game on ESPN now from yesterday.

Clichy! :eek: He was falling all over the shop when he got up. I'd say he doesn't remember too much of the game today. Hope he is okay.

#mcfc have agreed a £35m fee with Atletico Madrid for Sergio Aguero. Player en route from Buenos Aires to Ardwick.

Personal terms just to be agreed then. Will be interesting to see just how big his wages will be.

Wow, great signing for City. This is only the start I'd imagine. I'm looking forward to seeing who else comes in!

Bobeagleburger · 27-07-2011 2:48pm

Is that you lot?? :eek:

Porto have rejected a staggering €80million (£70.6m) bid for Brazilian striking ace Hulk from an undisclosed club, according to his agent.

Several European giants are thought to be in the market for the 24-year-old this summer, with Manchester City, Chelsea and AC Milan among the names to be linked with the hitman.
However Hulk, who signed a five-year extension on his deal with treble-winning Porto in May, has a €100million (£89.5m) release clause in his contract.
The player has continually stressed his intention to remain at the Estadio do Dragao and his agent, Teodoro Fonseca, claims Porto snubbed the €80m offer without leaving room for any negotiation.
"I would be lying if I said no proposals have emerged to sign Hulk," Fonseca told Portuguese newspaper Record.
"I think the highest bid was 80 million, but Porto did not even want to negotiate."
Fonseca refused to be drawn on which club had tried to lure Hulk away from Porto.
He added: "I cannot reveal that. But it is not hard to see because there are only three or four clubs who are able to present those kind of numbers for a player."
The appointment of former Porto boss Andre Villas-Boas as manager at Chelsea has fuelled speculation that Hulk is poised for a move to Stamford Bridge.
Big-spending Manchester City are also looking to bolster their frontline due to the expected departure of frontman Carlos Tevez, but are close to wrapping up a deal for Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero.

shano_88 · 27-07-2011 2:53pm

Unbelievable signing for City. Can see ye winning the league this year.

Johner · 27-07-2011 9:01pm

Confirmed on Aguero's twitter that he has signed.

karma_ · 27-07-2011 9:12pm

I wonder will Tevez even get a game this year, I doubt Bobby Manc will want to play him in fairness. Delighted with this signing, lets hope he beds in quickly.
