Big Rag is rattled "It's City isn't it ! " Old Purple Konk has a spat.

I love it when he throws his toys out - just love it !!

Apparently all we can talk about is Manchester U****d, I reckon the purple konked one has lost the plot, just shows you what one poster can do to get the rags rattled.

It is OK to display an antagonistic sign about their neighbours from Manchester at the swamp, but if we put up a simple poster welcoming people to OUR CITY, then boy oh boy are we the arrogant ones.

I think it's time to hang up your Whisky bottle purple konk and retire, keep up with the part time job at Christmas pulling the sleigh.

ole purple nose - Tevez not worth 25 mil

Here is the statement released by un***d on June 20.

“The club agreed to pay the option price of £25.5m and offered Carlos a five-year contract which would have made him one of its highest paid players. Disappointingly, however, his advisors informed the club that, despite the success he has enjoyed during one of the club’s most successful periods, he does not wish to continue playing for Manchester United.”

Geez, so is he worth 25 mill or not, I wish they would make their minds up.............

As far as I am concerned its all a bit of the green eyed monster, he is certainly worth 25 mill to us,
who cares what they think, purple nosed or green eyed.

Adebayor is the latest edition as we all expected.

Welcome to our latest addition to the striking team - Emanuel Adebayor, I must say this is the biggest surprise of all, definitely not expected. If he can capture his goalscoring form of a couple of seasons ago I am sure we will all be very happy.

The Toffee men are apparently sticking it out for City money, your know lets see how much we can screw out of them before we part with Lescott and everyone at Chelski is talking up John Terry's staying at Stamford Bridge. Me, I still reckon we will get both of these before the window closes if not before the start of the season.

I expect we all watched the 2nd eleven, of the best part of it, play Orlando Pirates yesterday, not much excitement to be had from either team, next game Tuesday night.

Adebayor, has he or hasn't he ?

I have been reading a couple of different reports, one where Adebayor has flown to Manchester today to complete the signing, one that he has already signed subject to a medical and one where he is on the verge of signing for our cockney neighbours !! who knows which one if any has some truth in it.

Hopefully Lescott will hand in his notice soon and we can get him signed up, I still believe we will see John Terry at Eastlands before the end of the window.

I am hoping to see some of the new boys in action today in South Africa, not sure what the team is yet but I guess there will be quite a number of players given a run out.

Tevez is a Blue !

Check out the video.

City's attempts to sign Adebayor will set panic into the 'Big Four' after the club completed the arrival of Argentine ace Carlos Tevez.

Things appear to be moving pretty quickly as The Daily Mail reports Adebayor has passed a medical, Arsenal are said to have accepted a fee of 25m and the Togo International is set to sign a five year deal.

I wonder what Craig Bellamy and RSC are thinking, I realise we do need a bigger squad with the ability to rotate strikers but these players are all of the type that would walk into any EPL side and you would think they will not want to settle for bench warmers spots !

Now we wait for more news on when the new defence will arrive.

I cant wait for the start of the season, looking forward and hoping for a sneek peek at some of the new boys at weekend in South Africa.

There are a couple of live feeds out there to watch the game.

Carlos Tevez from Rags to Riches !

City have called a press conference for 2pm today at which they will unveil the Argentinian signing, Tevez will join his new team mates on the trip to South Africa.

It would be very nice to see Adebayor or even John Terry rolled out at the same press conference, though lets not be too greedy, one superstar snatched from the jaws of one of the "big four" is enough for one day.

It is worth watching the video of 'The Purple Nosed One' ranting and raving that City and Real are ruining football and the fact that he can't buy any players due to the inflated transfers fees.

Tevez deal near enough done.

SSN reports that Tevez representatives in discussions with City and the deal could be finalised before end of the day.

Many more rumours about today, the strongest one (after the John Terry experience) is a new one on me, it is that we are in negotiations with Arsenal to sign Adebayor ! that would be a turn up, not sure if I am in favour or not but then again I have much trust in Mark Hughes and feel Adebayor must fit in with the plan or he would not consider him.

Other rumours are Puyol, Trezueget, Fabiano, Bruno Alves, Uncle Tom Cobbly.

The John Terry Foundation

Well the rumours of JT to City grows stronger by the day, If he has really asked for permission to talk to City then I reckon he will be with us before the season starts. Lots of other rumours also out there, appatently 'Kun' Aguero would consider City or Chelski, Alex Song of Arsenal is the subject of a bid and Lescott is still targeted.

Would be nice to see Terry and Lescott playing together, add Tevez and hopefully one more striker and that would just about do I reckon, for now anyway !

City pull plug on Eto'o deal

Although disappointed we will not have one of the worlds best strikers in our squad I also feel it is in our best interest as he obviously is not 100% convinced City is right for him otherwise he would have jumped at the chance. We will all have to guess now who attention will turn to, Forlan, Love, Ribery, Villa, Souza?

Patients Patients

Not sure if I can take much more of this waiting and checking the Newsnow site over and over every couple of minutes but then again it is still early in the window, I think the quick signing of Gareth Barry has made me a bit greedy and expect more signings every week.

The JT to CT wheel is still turning !

Well it is still grabbing the headlines and nothing from JT to say he is not interested, what could be could be.

Still all quiet from Eastlands

Jo back to Everton on loan has just popped up, I would have thought that would be held back to have some sort of inclusion in any deal for Lescott which again I would imagine would not be finalised until after the JT to City saga has ended, unless we will get Lescott and Terry, what about that an all English International back four - Richards (or steady Neddy)- Terry - Lescott - Bridge.

Mad Harry seems to be looking at Bellamy, personally I was not impressed when we bought him but the few games he did play he was always a threat, that said I am not sure where he can fit in if we secure Tevez and Eto'o, so it is possible he might be traded in.

JT or not JT that is the question !

Whilst it appears Ancelloti wants to keep JT at the Bridge, it still remains JT himself has not come out and spoken negatively about the offers tabled by City, this to my mind still leaves the door ajar, City must have had a sniff that JT may be ready for a change, a new challenge, maybe he is going stale at Chelsea after so many years and so many managers of late. I suppose I am also trying to convince myself that we have a chance of getting what must be the highest profile English player. What a difference a couple of years, oh and a couple of quid makes.
