23 goals in 48 games.

Sold for 23.8m.

Uefa yet to announce decision on Manchester City restrictions...Uefa are still refusing to publicly say whether City are free from the restrictions, saying it will be two or three weeks before it becomes clear.

With the transfer opening yesterday, if as reported UEFA haven't informed City if they're free from restrictions (some reports say there are still restrictions on City, others state that unlike other clubs City cannot benefit from EUFAs new reduced FFP rules), isn't this another punishment (spend now and you may or may not unknowingly breach FFP rules)? Poorly administered or not?

"Yet for Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain – two of the newest and wealthiest additions to that illustrious bracket – the FFP changes represent another kick in the teeth.

Clubs whose accounts have fallen foul of Uefa in the previous three years are barred from applying for voluntary agreements, meaning City and PSG, having been heavily fined and handed spending, squad and wage limits last summer, will have to wait until 2018 to exploit the new provision that would allow them to splash out beyond their means on bolstering their squads."

It would appear PSG are off the hok.

"And one year in advance, the club have signed a deal stipulating that they will be debt free come the end of the 2015/16 season, which resulted in the sanctions being lifted early against the capital club."

Karim Rekik sale to Marseille includes buy-back option

Rekiks departure leaves Citys centre-back department at four strong.Jason Denayer, who has returned from loan at Celtic, is expected to step up to the senior squad, alongside Vincent Kompany, Eliaquim Mangala and Martin Demichelis as City set about reclaiming the Premier League title in the new season.

Really surprised we sold him, like Nastasic a very cool defender, but I see we're hedging our bets with the buyback clause. So now we're down to 4...but Dunney Monster is clubless (retired) if needed ;-)

With all the talk about mega $ to be spent on attacking talent I hope there's some dosh left over for at least one dependable centre-back. Got to have at least one if not two.

Where were we worse last season compared to the previous championship winning season? I'd say in defence and covering of the defence. Kompany was worse, Mangala was learning, zaba looked knackered, Clichy and Kolorov were worse, Hart was same or better, Demi was same, we were very vulnerable on the break (Fernando not up to it...doesn't cover the ground as well as Fernandinho). This is where we need to shape up...sure in the previous 3 seasons we had the best defensive record. It's no secret that Maureen makes sure the back door is secure first before he considers the front door...its picking up constant clean sheets that gets you over the line first (not winning 5v0 but losing to Burnley! ).

Nicolas Anelka named Mumbai City player-manager

Should be interesting team talks as he sits alone frowning in the corner.

We didn't call him "Le Sulk" for nothing.

And we called him nic or nicky...he was great for us.

He was great for us too - and we made 23m on him!

So now we are to judge which are the great teams based on a sample of one foreigner?

Glacially slow news day at the Express - surely they can dig a quotable quote out of somebody the average punter can remember (dare I say it even respect?). I was hard put to remember who the hell Komenech was. Was he even any good as a French team manager?

I posted it as a foreign perspective which you and I as Brits can't possibly see.
