Manchester City rumours

Today’s newspaper watch brings two new rumours concerning the likely signings of Manchester City.

The Daily Mirror believes that Mark Hughes is lining up a January bid for Sampdoria’s twenty-six year old notoriously short tempered Italian playmaker Antonio Cassano.

The unpredictable Cassano has recently found love with a seventeen year old water polo player and is unlikely to want to move away.

The Sun newspaper tells us that City are keen to sign Rennes’ Cameroon defensive midfield player Stephane Mbia for a fee of £9.6 million when the transfer window re-opens in January.

The twenty-two year old, who can also play at right back, has made eleven appearances for Cameroon.
