yes he did turn up according to man city website :

City’s remaining World Cup stars returned to Carrington this morning after their well-earned summer break.

David Silva and Jerome Boateng spent their first session training as City players this morning and were joined by new signing Aleksandar Kolarov.

Also returning to work were Carlos Tevez and Nigel de Jong, though the remainder of the senior squad will rest today following their return home from America on Sunday.

The Blues fly out to Germany tomorrow in preparation for the Ferrostaal Cup match with Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday and will play their final pre-season game against Valencia on Saturday at the City of Manchester Stadium.

reported approach by a Chinese businessman, Jian-hua ‘Kenny’ Huang, to buy Liverpool is shrouded in confusion as sources in China and America have told sportingintelligence that he does not have the money to buy the club

[1864roverite]

He wasnt buying the club, he was buying their debt from the bank (RBS) or that was his intentions.

[Roberto Policano]

Did anyone see Inter Milan's third goal against Man. City? What a cracker! Too bad it was a pre-season effort.

City were hopeless.

Stoke where asking about Victor Obinna after his display in that game.

What is the crack with that Blackpool side,do they plan to make some signings?.

Roberto, who is the wiz kid West Ham are signing in the next 48 hrs.

Blackpool have been trying to sign Championship players on Championship wages and price tags and finding that the clubs they beat out for promotion aren't keen to miss out on inflated Premier League fees. So far they've been knocked back for Hulse, Tudgay, Stead (!), DJ Campbell and Angel Rangel, although Rangel seems to think he'll go.

They're aiming to spend a maximum of £10m including wages but they need to bring in 7-10 players. No chance.

if you looked at who burnley signed in general (about two or three players tops that weren't for the future. and the ones they did sign weren't premiership proven) i'd say blackpool had the same chance as burnley - i.e no hopers but could shock.

Its Winston Reid a young Kiwi centre half.

[whiteinpeace]

Its Winston Reid a young Kiwi centre half.

Looked a good prospect during the world cup.

[1864roverite]

If Reid comes to England then Rovers have first bite chaps, already been linked with BRFC due to the Ryan Nelsen scenario.

Brownie, hows fat boy Benni looking ?

Very slow and fat.

Fancy taking him back ? You need a striker ?

[Blackburn Ravers]

Klasnic signed for 2 years at Bolton

Klasnic signed for 2 years at Bolton

Excellent! (Hello again everybody)

[67splitscreen]

Utd offer Owen to Bristol City on loan. after their enquiry for Welbeck was turned down.

My link

I wonder if they fear losing their star striker.

[thenodrog]

Excellent! (Hello again everybody)

Wounds all well and truly licked Zulu? Welcome back.

[philipl]

Not PL but Celtic crashed out of CL tonight, as did Zagreb. Ajax scraped through on away goals.

[Hughesy]

Chelsea have agreed an £18.2m deal for Ramires.

[Exiled_Rover]

Chelsea have agreed an £18.2m deal for Ramires.

What's what, 75% of what we're asking for our entire club? What a crap sport football has turned into.

[neekoy]

Chelsea have agreed an £18.2m deal for Ramires.

€7.5 million to €22 million in 12 months.

Is it just me but those Liga teams seem to do some great business in development or exporting of talent. Ajax, Espanyol and Lyon seem to me the only ones outside who continually do this. I am not talking of youth academies or systems (i.e Man U or Brazil), just identifying talent, developing into top class players then selling for huge dollars.

[philipl]

The squeeze on Liverpool's owners continues.

1) The media pressure increases.

2) Sovereign Wealth Funds ie the Chinese Government is fronted by Huang

3) They show that they have ready cash available to pay-off the banks and screw Gillette and Hicks- a message which anyone who has had to deal with those two would love if rumours are true.

4) The Guardian's neat rubbishing of Keith Harris shows that they clearly believe Huang will prevail at Anfield.

Finally, a neat piece about Leeds dodging the Football League rules on ownership and how the Football League caved into the PL's new parachute payment deals.

[alexanders]

Rob_Parrish:

Sky Sports understands Loic Remy is flying in for talks with Stoke today with the Potters set to land the Nice striker ahead of Premier League rivals Liverpool, Tottenham and West Ham.

[Hughesy]

Also suggestions Beattie could be off to Blackpool for £1.5m (HOPE hes NOT our target)....also Poulsen to Liverpool, which will allow Mascherano to move out!

[philipl]

Gillette and Hicks stand to lose the £130m they put in according to this.o

The Liverpool board would get lynched by those charming scousers if they somehow allowed the Syrian to cobble a debt-laden buy out together.
