I'm intrigued to find out why we've sold Buchtmann, especially for so little. He's looked a massive prospect when I've seen him for the academy and Germany, especially for £100k, have we made a loss there?

Kenya are ranked too low (98 apparently). Only top 70 teams qualify.


I know, fella. But that doesn't mean that the best Kenyan player isn't better than, for example, a 19 year old Brazilian.

Liberia were never in the top 70 yet George Weah (pre-City, of course) was a great player. He would have been refused a permit too. I know it's not the best example, but I think it illustrates my point. The lad has played in Serie A and is being chased by Juve and Inter. I could maybe understand the Home Office's approach if we were signing someone on a free transfer and he was playingh in the Slovakian league, but the lad has been earning rave reviews in Serie A.

Wasn't there a Watford player a few years back who gained a work permit despite his nation being out of the top 70?

Versus a racist thug. Let me think...

I am sick of backing up Ireland on this issue, but the lad had been told that his missus had miscarried. I know two people who have been through that and it is a shocking experience. I would cut a bit of slack personally.


You call him a racist thug, but even now, on the last day of the transfer window, on the Monday after the story broke, if Man City could buy John Terry then they would.

And the simple fact is, if your wonderful Joey Barton had gone behind JT or Fat Frank's back and screwed their Mrs you'd be partying over it.

JT deserves all the flack he gets over this. He deserves his Mrs taking him to the cleaners, he deserves (in many ways) to lose the captaincy over this. I have no sympathy for what he's done, but the simple, basic fact is that the woman was Bridge's EX girlfriend and Bridge was an EX team mate. It is complicated by the fact that she had Bridge's kid, it is made worse that Bridge was supposedly a close mate of his, but we don't know the stupid nonsense that either of them were doing outside of this so we don't know whether it was an awful betrayal or just another episode in their Foolballers Wives type lives.
[/quote]

I have TBH and say that I have absolutely no opinion on the Bridge / Terry thing. I couldn't care less. Footballers and WAGS are as shallow as each other. They deserve one another.

This is him:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Bangura


I'm pretty sure when United signed Anderson, they signed him on a case of 'exceptional ability' or something along those lines. Surely if this fella is as good as made out, City should be able to sign him. How long has he been in Europe for?

I've heard a couple of whispers that Rodwell is in discussions with United and could quite possibly be at Carrington now. Not entirely sure how reliable they are, but they were convinced.
