Ah.. But Bebe is seen by fans as more of an AMC than a center forward, so we kinda get a 2 in 1 deal. Plus he'll play mostly in the reserves i reckon

7 million is a little steep for a reserve player, true. In my opinion he is a buy for the future, since Scholes, Giggs, Carrick, Gibson et al are still in contention as starters. Unless Bebe does a Chicharito, of course - then he might start sooner than we think.

Lack of pre-season with the squad can also prove vital at this point, don't think SAF would break him in that soon, that's all.

But still, A homeless world cup??? I would pay to watch that!

I am guessing it's slightly less than the 7 million BOC but spread out over 3-4 years based on appearances. The team is top tier of the league after all, with all this 'value' talk in the market, I don't think they'll sell that cheap. As he is under 21, his buy seems to fit into the new rule?

watched the compilation video (which is not fact, i know) but his movement is similar to a certain Didier Drogba. Quick feet after that tackle to the defender.

D'you think they'll sing the JB song if he were to score?

Or maybe Nani needs a new roommate? and share Portugese jokes with?

Nani: "Era uma vez um pintinho que nunca ria. Um dia ele caiu e rachou o bico!"

Bebe: "ha ha you not funny"

Sounds like he's going to Real

Was this at the homeless world cup?

Bebe was once homeless before he started professional football, therefore making him eligible to play for the homeless world cup. It's not dig at homeless people, but more for the rags to riches element to it all that intrigues me personally go bebe!

Yes it does!!! isn't it awesome? I googled but most pictures I get are street soccer like set ups so maybe something like futsal. Can't really say though. So technically Bebe is capped, albeit homeless capped

Bear in mind he still needs to complete medical I think this week. Please don't phail...

evening all.. 1 more day to go till the weekend

Morning all, glorious Friday. Too bad our match is still a few days away. Which matches are you guys looking forward to besides ours? for me it has to be the City vs Spurs (wanna find out about their new signings), the Birmingham match (because of Zigic ) and of course the Arsenal Liverpool clash. But with Arsenal's injuries, I'm not sure if it is going to be that good afterall

Good point, hopefully Welbeck can adapt quickly and get regular games. Score a few against our rivals too! No mention of United match clause?

Onuoha was brilliant last season tbf, why'd sell him? Suppose they didn't learn the lessons of Chelsea. You can't buy success, only add to it.

Bet you Micah's time at City is numbered too. Onuoha is a great backup to the CBs at his age. Well, Sunderland's gain definitely! Hmm maybe put him in my fantasy league

Granted they do have a strong squad but a few bad results and some key injuries would see them struggling for cohesion. David Silva is the best addition of the lot IMO but he might end up missing his girlfriend David Villa half way through the season and demand a move to Barcelona

Ahh.. in your list above, the order of teams does not indicate anything in particular does it wink2 Because Chelsea is in there before utd LOL kidding.

Eventually with all that money they'll get a team sorted out. Might take a few seasons and Mancini seems to be the right guy for the job. I felt that Mark Hughes was doing alright to be honest and its a shame that he was sacked. He bought the right kind of players; used to the EPL style of play and properly settled in. I'm not sure the mercenaries from the SPL and Serie A can learn the language and pace of the game that quickly. Not sure if Ballotelli can speak English. Language barrier can frustrate a player very quickly.

If anything, they'll be up there with Everton and Spurs for the fourth spot. Not sure if Liverpool has the right team to break back into the top four if Torres is injured again. Certainly make the EPL a bit more interesting this season eh? top flight footie is back people!!!!!
