Just read on glory-glory.co.uk that he's already signed as a Spurs player and were now taking legal action against City.

I like the idea that when concluding a transfer the conversation goes something like this:

Levy: "Right so we agree on everything?"

Player: "Yes"

Levy: "Great, so if you just sign here and here, initial here...."

Player: "There we go, I'm now a Spurs player then.."

Levy: "Pretty much, now if you hang on a sec I just need you to speak on the phone to my mate Ben and tell him exactly how excited you are and your plans for the day, maybe go for a drink with him or something?"

Player: (Looking bemused) "Err, hello?"

Ben: Hi mate, so you've signed then, thats great, if you look out the window you might be able to see me, left a bit, up, in the tree yeah, look I'm waving now, hiya.....

Deal subsequently falls through under mysterious circumstances......

Seriously, why the funk would they ring Ben as soon as the deal is "done" and tell him all about the flat hunting?

:rofl:

I feel like I'm in some bad hollywood chick flick. Ashavin loves us. We love Ashavin. But Arshavin's parents will never allow us to be together. Corluka loves us. We love Corluka, but his broke fascist daddy has run away and his dunce step-father is trying to keep us apart.



Veloso must be Molly Ringwald and we're Duckie by the way.

I thought Corluka denied a move to Spurs and decided to stay with MC? It was on the official Man Shitty site. Did I miss something?

More like

Levy: "Hi Vedran ..so ..you'll be playing along side Michael Dawson in the Carling Cup games and on the bench during the league games when King and Hutton are fit.

Corluka: [Silence]

Levy: "Hello?"

Corluka: [Hangs up]

:rofl: I guess that might be the case.

A couple of hours after the "Corluka is happy to be staying and we're very happy too" story appeared on the Man City site, Corluka's agent appeared on SSN and basically said "like hell he is".

There's a certain amount of spin going on...

This is from a man city web site


"I'm sorry to say this, as a life long fan and - for the last few (for me at least) unforgettable months - employee, MCFC as we know it is finished. Here are the FACTS, for those who really want to know. Thaksin is, as of midlnight 10th August, 2008, an international fugitive. He now has to be found guilty of corruption in Thailand in his absense, offering no defence. Extradition requests will surely follow. The PL will then have to find him short of the fit and proper ownership rules (and believe me, the pressure for that from fellow 'members' has been growing since June). Thaksin is trying to palm off City onto whoever will now take it, an insolvent mess of a business, completely incapable of sustaining itself. The truth is that the only interested party (until recently) - Wardle - is not now able to bail City out now , he cant come close on his own and no partners have been found. The wage bioll and committments due on the last 2 years' transfers have spiralled out of control. The Corluka affair is the last straw - I personally worked on the deal and can assure anyone interested that he has already been transferred to Spurs. Spurs have this evening started legal action, and he will be barred from playing for City following an injunction in the courts tomorrow. Personally I expect Hughes to then resign on principal (he has no choice now, he is on record as saying that he wilol have final say on all transfers). Many wont believe any of this, but a few will. I am very close to this situation (readers will never know who I am or how close - a few would know my name but it isnt appropriate to for me to come 'out') - trust me, I am close enough to know what has happeneded in the last fortnight, I am p*ssed off with it (as a fan, and as someone who has worked hard for the club durinig the ast 18 months or so) and it must be said, a little drunk. I am posting this message on a few sites - apologies for those that keep reading it, but I want City fans to know what is happening. The sad truth is we are finished, and that as a result, the PL will be facing its biggest challenge since inception within 2 weeks of now."
