I. Manchester City @ Manchester United: Who will get
their face stamped on this weekend? No one, that's who - with City star Emmanuel Adebayor

Derby day in Manchester is always a special occasion but this year the stakes are higher than
they have been in many years. For over a decade now United's dominance of the Premier League has
cast a shadow over City. The stakes have risen somewhat now Manchester's other team have
squillions to spend and have enjoyed a terrific start to the season.

Ready for Premier League return?
It's just as well, then, that some clubs prefer players at the other end of their
careers. Spurs, for example, who were turned down by Corinthians' Ronaldo this summer, are ready to
make a January move for O Fenomeno. Failing that 'Arry Redknapp fancies Manchester City's Benjani
or Real's Ruud van Nistelrooy.

I feel as if I've done nothing but write about Manchester City this summer. And frankly I'm getting
tired of it. I'm very ready to see how this experiment in fantasy football (English version) plays
out in real life. The cream of world football went to Madrid this summer, but a lot of attacking
talent has ended up at Eastlands.

In the 1990s he was famous for doing things like this!
In England, people remember the former Coventry, Sheffield United, Birmingham and
Huddersfield striker mainly as a technically gifted forward that on occasion did magical stuff with
the ball. Ok, he could go for weeks without doing much, and his scoring records isn't top notch,
but people still have fond memories of the Zimbabwean.

I've been a little reluctant to bring up Manchester Ciy's summer of spending and thats mainly cause
all they seem to have bought with their Emirate oil money, is a bunch of overpriced strikers! At
last count I'm pretty sure they had about 9 of them (Adebayor, Bellamy, Benjani, Robinho, Santa
Cruz, Tevez, Bojinov, Caicedo, Evans, and a couple of midfielders who can also mix it up front).

Carlos Tevez has signed with cross town rivals Man City...good for him, bad loss for the Red
Devils, trust me! Now it has been reported that they are after Arsenal striker Emmanuel
Adebayor...WHY?Don't they know that playing with 10 forwards and a keeper is just not going to
work?They now have on their squad, officially:Robinho, Bojinov, Santa Cruz, Tevez, Caicedo, Evans,

Manchester City is behaving like a kid with their first credit card, like Victoria Beckham at the

The big news on the wire this morning is that Manchester City have apparently been in talks with
Arsenal all weekend over the possible purchase of Emmanuel Adebayor.
This is believable in the sense that Citeh's new owners clearly have a lot of money and want to
make a splash by bringing in big names in the transfer window.

Well, two days are left until the transfer window opens again and Manchester City look like
they've signed two strikers to help Mark Hughes drag them up the table. I suppose they need some
good news down at Eastlands after the ground flooded on Saturday due to flash floods. With both
signings, City could have an incredible 12 strikers on their books at the last count, but that
number will fall by one on July 1st as young prospect Daniel Sturridge has agreed to join
Chelsea.

Manchester City striker Valeri Bojinov has been cursed with yet another horrific injury that will
rule him out for the next six months. The Bulgarian international has only just recovered from
damaging his knee ligaments 12 months ago and he was set to start the first match on the
Premiership's opening round of matches.

Manchester City's 2007-2008 campaign was their best since rejoining the Premiership after a few
years of purgatory in England's lower levels. Manager Sven-Göran Eriksson compiled a very
respectable 19-11-15 record in his first year on the job, guiding the club to a 9th-place finish, a
trip to the Carling Cup quarterfinals, and a berth in the UEFA Cup through their fair play record.
