And Wigan.

Will be good to see what Lukaku can do out on loan, another former FM 'wonderkid'

The same thing all FM wonderkids do.

Fuck all.

Sigh, El Hadji Diouf confirmed as training with us. Bollocks. Sadly he's an improvement on what we have in terms of attacking wingers (nothing) but I still don't want the toe-rag here.

[Hobo]

Allen to Liverpool seems to be edging closer. He was at the game tonight.

Diouf can be class, but Warnock actually burying the hatchet to get him?

[Hobo]

Also if his symbolism is anything to go by Agger doesn't want to go anywhere. He has had YNWA tattooed on his knuckles. The crowd chanted his name all night too.

He threw his shirt into the crowd in what is usually 'last game' actions but I don't think he can be registered for City after playing for us tonight?

A sign of how desperate we are for an attacking player that we can afford. >_<

[9 to 5]

Diouf's chrome-plated cars aren't cheap.

[Matt]

Cheaper than the likes of Craig Mackail-Smith and Nicky Maynard whom we were supposed to be signing when we got taken over

[If_You_Wanna_Be_The_Man]

Reckon that means Liverpool will be getting rid of a midfielder, they have quite a lot of them

[Hobo]

Moneys on Charlie Adam.

Not yet the tournament proper, so apparently he can.

[Lineker]

Sky sources: Man City have agreed a fee with Swansea for Scott Sinclair. £5.5m potentially rising to £8m.

Not sure what he offers that Adam Johnson doesn't, but whatever.

[Plubby]

He offers not being Adam Johnson?

[Adam]

Seems a bit pointless that one, is he really going to play that often? Ah well.

Diouf going to Leeds? . He can be such a good player in the Championship, but his ego runs wild and I'm sure he will get into a fair amount of trouble in Leeds. Also, expect to see him attempt to monopolise all set-piece duty even when not one of his free kicks or corners proves effective throughout the entire season.

[stokeriño]

Fuck, will have to rethink my fantasy team. Was going to pick Sinclair as my cheaper midfield guy, but if he's to be a City bench warmer...

[If_You_Wanna_Be_The_Man]

Is Scott Sinclair a right footed player that plays on the left as opposed to a left footed player that plays on the right?

Still seems pointless to me but maybe Adam Johnson has said he wants to leave

[TCO]

Yeah Sinclair is right footed, so not really similar to Adam Johnson. What a strange signing for Man City to be making, he's not near good enough to be cracking their first team. Great move for him though, financially and he gets to move to Manchester, which'll be handy if he's still nailing Helen Flanagan.

[Lineker]

Could be something to do with needing home-grown players for the CL?

Sheffield United have completed the signing of Nick Blackman from Blackburn Rovers for an undisclosed fee.
