Manchester City after Hughes, Mourinho finally signs, and other news



Mark Hughes to City?

            Yes, the gods are cruel.  I wanted Mark Hughes for Chelsea, but he looks like he could go to Manchester City.  Hughes will collect a nice transfer budget, and a definite pay increase if he decides the Eastlands is his next home.  As I alluded to earlier, Hughes has a track record of turning teams around.  He also possesses a great knowledge and vision when it comes to finding good players.  He also could bring some players with him, notably, Roque Santa Cruz, and David Bentley.  I say this is a good career move for Hughes, although Peter Kenyon should get on the phone quickly and attempt to steal him away.  

Jose Mourinho officially at Inter

            Yup, it was finally announced.  The Special one has found a new home in Milan.  Now the real question is whom he will bring in to deliver European glory.  He can take Drogba as far as I'm concerned, but please don't take Frank Lampard.  He is the heart and soul of Chelsea, and he plays with a great passion for the game ever since his mother died.  He also could bring in some Barcelona men, as they are having a mass exodus.  Ronaldinho, and Eto’o, would be great additions to the Inter squad.  We’ll have to wait and see…  

Paul Gascoigne, Mathieu Flamini

            Gascoigne has been put into a mental hospital again.  He was placed in a Mental Hospital due to the Mental Health Act.  A sad, sad story gets even sadder.

            In other news, Mathieu Flamini has joined the French National team in their preparations for Euro 2008.  He was the contingency plan in case a midfielder was hurt, and guess what, Patrick Viera hurt his ankle.  It is not guaranteed that he will go to Austria and Switzerland, but he is now in training with the team, and if Viera isn’t fit in time, he will go in his stead.

 

            That’s all for now, we’ll see how things play out for the rest of the day.  Hopefully I’ll be back soon.
