Lifted from the Manchester City website 04/09/2008, on the day Mark Hughes was due to meet Dr. Sulaiman al-Fahim and his delegates: "Such illustrious names as Cristiano Ronaldo, the Manchester United forward, Fernando Torres, the Liverpool striker, Cesc F�bregas, the Arsenal midfield player, and Ronaldinho, the AC Milan playmaker, have been touted. Claims that City bid �50 million for Torres on Monday are inaccurate, although the club�s would-be owners have flexed their financial muscle further by promising to lay on a private jet to bring back Robinho after Brazil�s match against Bolivia in Rio on Wednesday so that he is as fresh as possible for the game against Chelsea three days later."
Ha ha. Linked with Ronaldo, Torres, Fabregas, Ronaldinho and Kaka. Finish up with Bridge and Bellamy. Says it all, really.
