They may be starting the summer spending early, wonder how much they will spend over the summer, like the quote Barry was interested in signing for a Champs League club, wonder what may sway his mind?

We all know the real reason but guaranteed to feature is something along the lines of "Manchester City Football Club's ambitions match mine"

at least the signing of barry is far more realistic to city improving over time and gradually climbing up the table rather than trying to go out thinking they can sign the kakas of the world

if i was mr barry, i think id rather stay at villa.

 

unless city were offering double wages of course.

double is probably a minimum

Apparently it's from 40k to 100k.

it's not wages, it's compensation

Best signing City have made since the money poured in.

 

By the time City have got their early signings in, there could be some decent scraps for clubs like us to pick up later in the summer.

Id take them, Hughes has been told he needs to finish in the top 6 and theres talk of them signing Tevez amongst others, so there will be some folk availiable, With Barry I cannot understand in footballing terms why he has gone City, I know its the coin but surely you would want to better yourself?

They've got Robinho, SWP, seriously tried to buy Kaka, Bellamy... they will buy the very best that will agree to come to them, no doubt about it

 

They had a poor season but I can see why they are more attractive than Villa

According to sky sports news this morning, Hughes has now spent ?100m since the take over and with more to come, so this season will be when he has to deliver or he's out.

The likes of Everton are papping it, they already get bigger crowds than their rivals.

 

Now they've reduced ST prices, and are buying 'quality' players.

 

Can't see Europe ever happening again for little old Bolton, but you'd be happy to be a city fan at the moment.

That's why we should go all out to win the Carling Cup
