they just keep coming...............
Sven-Goran Eriksson has completed his third signing of the day with Brazillian midfielder Elano Blumer joining the Blues in an £8m deal.
The Brazillian international signs in from Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk on a four-year contract and gives the Blues boss further options in his squad.
Elano scored twice for his country in their 3-0 victory over arch rivals Argentina in a prestige friendly at the Emirates Stadium in September 2006 and has been a regular in the squad since January 2004.
Hailed by national coach Dunga as 'the symbol of the new Brazil', Elano joins after a very successful Copa America where he helped his side lift the cup for the eighth time.
Following the third signing of the morning, City Chief Executive, Alistair Mackintosh said: "This morning has proved to be an immensely productive one, the outcome of which is the acquisition of three top quality players for Manchester City Football Club.
"This has been achieved as a result of some tremendous team work and I would like to praise everyone involved for their efforts. I would particularly like to thank Dr Thaksin, without whom today's signings would not have been possible."
Yeah, but answer me honestly.... have you ever heard of a single player you've signed????? Has anyone??? So how'd you know their not gonna be expensive flops?
i'd never heard of a bloke giorgi kinkladze or ali benabia either, yet both were absolutly brilliant midfielders.Quote:

True enough - but isn't that exactly why you City lot shouldn't be counting ya chickens and getting ya hopes up????
Doesn't history teach ya that every time you do it ends in failure?
For all we know these players may flop or fail to settle, and ya chairman still faces possible freezing of his assets, and allegations of human rights abuses that could leave him deemed not 'a fit and proper owner' of a football club by the FA if ever proven - which could cause all manner of shite, inc. possibly the removal of the so-called 'golden share' allowing a team to take part in the football league.
Course premier league n FA would have to uphold its own rules for that to happen, so ya probably in the clear there lol.
Freezing of his assets still a distinct possibility though, and that could really screw the business plan lol
I wouldn't be getting too carried away about catching up with the red side of manchester if I were you lol
Course, on the other hand all the above could be wishful thinking on my part ;)
football....... its a funny auld game :laughing:
anyway, we shall see,
got my ticket for the game on the 18th, so, when we have repeated our '89, 5-1 demolition of 'you lot' you will be eating those words:;
ooooooo i'm so excited:cheese: :cheese: :cheese:
Fck off!!!!!! Thats a horrible memory!
