Surprise Suprise

Manchester City

Final day of the transfer market, big names in, others out. The biggest shocker came from Manchester, not the red side but the blue one. Troubled owner Thaksin Shinawatra sold the club to Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment for £200m. Next they they tried to hijack Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov from rival Manchester United with a £30million British record. They also attempted to get Valencia’s David Villa and Stuttgart’s Mario Gomez.

Knowing that none of the 3 targets were heading to the Eastlands, they contacted Real Madrid and put forward a British record £32.5m bid for Robinho, a longtime target for Chelsea. Now the same Robinho who will now be pulling on the famous sky blue shirt with Manchester City and not Chelsea..
