lol,

Given
new rb, Kompany, new CB, Bridge
Elano, Barry, De Jong, Robinho
Eto`o, Tevez

If that side isnt challenging for the premiership in 2010 mark hughes shouldnt be in a job!!
Eto'o deal is in doubt because Barca are refusing to pay him his loyalty bonus of £13m so Eto'o is threatening to stay for a year and leave on a free next summer. Could still happen but looking bad at the minute.

Elano is likely to leave, plus Ireland is much better all around player. New centre back will be Lescott. We made an enquiry about Maicon for Rb but didn't follow it up. Zabaleta or Richards are both capable anyway.

Finally we are going to make a move for John Terry quite soon. Doubt we'll get him.

Bid for Terry rejected thankfully. I'm not a fan.

Not sure what to make of it because our owners surely know that £25m would never be enough to tempt them into selling. Wonder if they are planning something on the quiet.

Eto'o looks like reaching a satisfactory conclusion though. Barca are keen to bring Villa in and that's pushing Eto'o into our arms. He's agreed terms with us, just a discrepency between him and Barca over a loyalty bonus.

Tevez will be announced next week i believe.
