Man City manager Mark Hughes.
ESPNsoccernet - England - Man City sign Robinho in record £32.5m deal
Wild...
So Robinho and Jo up front? Can't imagine Hughes will use him as a winger to be honest.
Berbatov to United is confirmed too. Just knew Fergie would get his man.
City will be able to buy whoever the hell they want.Quote:

Pumping in 100m pounds a season into ManCity's transfer budget would be a drop in a bucket for them.
Yea, I think when Saha got sold that was sort of a red flag that he would get Berbatov at all costs. There's no way he would have gone the entire season with just Rooney, Tevez, and Campbell.Quote:

One problem though, Campbell went on loan to Spurs as part of the Berbatov transfer, which as I look at the United attack leaves them still very thin on the attacking front.Quote:

Chelsea are also short on depth up front but in midfield they have 8 midfield players that would start on most Premiership teams.
What's up with Rooney? He's not show much of anyhting in the last 2 years.
Seems like he's been a waste of late. He can still play well, just doesn't score. Position change might do him some good... cause Tevez is much better for Man U at this point...and I don't see Berbatov being benched. But definitely hasn't lived up to the praise Best, Maradonna and Pele once gave him. Then again, he's just a kid.Quote:
