[Greenall_David]

[RevidgeBlue]

So, you've heard there's a news conference tomorrow at 10a.m. - but you don't know where it's at or who it's for?

[mark1875]

this sounds totally useless mate, where did u hear it?

[Jimmy Jupiter]

Paul Ince - Paul Robinson - Paul Konchesky.

Who is going to be the next Paul?

Given everyone's mood, maybe Pallbearer?

[steverovers]

Yes, it was quite easy to understand. But was it a fair giudizio?

Nasri, 5 stars and Bentley, 4 stars.

Do you even understand the meaning of the word APPARENTLY?

Here, I'll help you:

It means capable of being easily perceived or understood; plain or clear; obvious according to appearances, initial evidence, incomplete results, etc.; ostensible rather than actual.

Now, on what evidence is it apparent that Man City is having a press conference Thursday regarding Rocky?

[alexanders]

Maybe it is Villanueva - He has gotten his work-permit and recovered from the pox.

He is even maybe due to have his debut against Everton.

Villanueva Debut

[philipl]

At the moment on the transfer front, it feels like we have an archaeologist in charge rather than a Manager. Now Annan is out of the way, all the players we are linked with had great futures several years ago.

On the outgoing front, thank goodness Ince has placed his career and credibiity on the line by saying 100% nobody leaves in this window.

If Newcastle or Man City entice major players away from the club now, it will be a damming indictment on how the world of football sees what Ince is doing at Ewood.

[Dan Furness]

Telegraph reports ince close to his fifth signing of a summer long target. Pretty much means Andrews if you ask me. Oh well i will reserve judgement when i see him play

He has his permit and recovered from the pox, hense why he has been training with the squad all week.

Paul Daniels

I'd like that ... not a lot.

This has to be a joke

"Manchester City last night bid £12m for the striker Roque Santa Cruz. The offer, according to sources at Blackburn Rovers, was being given serious consideration by the chairman, John Williams, despite the insistence of the manager, Paul Ince, that the 26-year-old Paraguayan was not for sale."

I'm sick of this mindset that if a club bids for your player you have to sell. We don't have to sell Roque!

I'm sorry but Ince is doomed if he sells Roque, both on the field in our performances and off the field with the fans after his comments in the media about there being no more sales, especially of key players. A suicidal decision if it happens.

[alexanders]

City don't have money. I hate the media. It is called silly-season.

[DudeAbides]

I must admit im gettin fed up of hearing about most of the squad bein sold on a daily basis,

ridiculous

[vintageadidas]

He is worth £18-20m - stuck it up your ass Hughes, SSN, the mail, the guardian and so on.

There is absolutely no way we would sell for 12m quid. Just jounos trying to make a story. As it stands we have 10-15m to spend. The problem has been finding players worth buying...

We still desperately need a central midfielder and a right winger. Another striker would be nice too, and potentially a centre back if Ooijer goes.

[gbax]

We can ask RSC himself at 2pm at the club shop for the launch of the new kit!!!!

[Hughesy]

Yeah if someone could ask him this aft then that would be good - would be good to see his reaction.

With £15-20m in the bank - there is no reason what at all to sell him. Unless someone is daft enough to offer us £30m of course.

[vintageadidas]

Someone should say how much we rate him and the fans love him. Big fish small pond and all that.

[Rovermatt]

Where might City conjure this money from?

[nicko]

I usually find it better to count to ten when I am fuming...in this case it's about a million.

How any newspapers or TV stations can fall for the Roque story is beyond me. It is blatant propaganda from a club which is on the rocks because of their problems.

City employ a couple of spin doctors who brief the media to make it sound like everything is wonderful.

Remember Ronaldinho? Where is he?

The Sun ran a 'Hughes quits' story and then cosies in by taking the City-Roque 'bid' seriously.

The Independent's man is close to Joorabchian and his people who also want to make sound City like a force.

Quite pleased with the Spurs Corluka row story in the Mirror today...check that out to see what is REALLY happening.

And, by the way, City will sell one of their top players shortly to bid for a striker...but it will take more than that to buy Roque.

It is laughable.
