Sven Goran Eriksson is set to bring another new striker to Manchester City. I know that many Pies fans would love us to be able to reveal that the Swede’s dream partnership is Rolando Bianchi and Emile Heskey, but alas Sven’s love affair with clumsy Emile seems to be over. No, this does actually seem to be a pretty shrewd purchase, which leads us to believe Sven had little or nothing to do with it!
City have agreed a £10 million fee with Olympiakos for in-form Mexican striker Nery Castillo. Despite looking like a monobrowed baby , Castillo was on fire (not literally) during the recent Copa America. This led Pies to suggest that one of Europe’s big boys could be tempted to make a move, but it looks like he will have to settle for Man City instead!
