Rumor has it that Man city is going to try and get Samuel Eto'o. Its believed that they are ready to make a large bid for him.

Also Man City just signed Stephen Ireland to a new contract. Ireland saying "Im staying for life", "I'm settled here. I love the club, I love the fans and I don't see what's going to make me leave this club. "

Another rumor is that if the eastlands club does not get the cameroon hitman then they are ready to make a big bid for Carlos tevez.

Any thoughts on all this?

The bid on Tevez is definitely more practical than that on Eto'o for a couple reasons. Of course, we all know of the rumors and speculation surrounding Tevez and whether or not he'll be offered an extension on his loan. United don't feel the need to dish out a whopping 25 million pounds for him. Along with Man City and other clubs watching the Tevez transfer saga unfold, the Man Utd chief executive David Gill said in an interview that his (Tevez) departure is "inevitable".

Now the bid on Eto'o is completely ridiculous. All it shows is how the Man City owners think dishing out substantial cash will get anyone they want. Eto'o just won the treble with Barcelona and is playing some of the best football at the club, so why would he want to leave? In repeated articles and interviews, he's stated that he's happy at the club. The only reason they're so keen on getting him now is because they saw him in the Champions League final. This is ludicrous decision making.

For Man City to have a quality team they need to find a system that works and fit the players to it. Not the other way around. Look at what happened to Robinho, since he's come to club. Seriously, I don't dislike Man City but I dislike how they're throwing money around like water, rather than working within slowly. Great success doesn't happen overnight

Ibrahimovic to man city along with ronaldinho

B4 they get their players, I think they should get rid of their manager first.... Get someone that thinks football-wise not money-wise.... They have great individuals, but that's all, "individuals".... Not a "team".... there is no "I" in "teamwork"...

It is insanely difficult getting world class players to join a club where Champions League football isn't virtually guaranteed, let alone European football. I think Man City will only manage to get semi-starlets, unfulfilling prospects and golden oldies by the end of summer.

Barry is to eastlands, one star has arrived

Barry will sit amazingly with ireland. They will be back in the ueropa league next season!

Pato should go there

I've spent a long time looking into my crystal ball and I can clearly see who we will end up with at the end of the summer:

We already have Barry, but in the coming weeks we will sign Roque Santa Cruz, Tevez, Lescot and Toure

It looks like arjen robben is bound for manchester city as they are preparing a bid for him

City have agreed a fee of £18million with Blackburn to sign Roque Santa Cruz. Personal terms are still to be sorted out before deal is finalised

Rumours of City to sign Tevez and Eto'o in the next few days

There's actually some validity to Eto'o going to Man City. This subject made it all the way to American television! ESPN said that Barcelona president "Joan Laporta claims that Manchester City have made a 'stratospheric' offer to sign Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o. Laporta claimed that if he accepts, the deal will make him the best paid player in the world. "

So the deal is not really done but do you guys think eto wants to stay at Barcelona or go to the eastlands instead? I would go to man city for the money and a new challenge. Also to see what England is like instead of having your whole football career in one league

Rumours have it that City's attempt at signing Eto'o has failed as he wants to wait unitl his contract expires next summer to move
