I believe the rumour that the owners of Manchester City are considering buying Manchester United and merging the club to create a new one called Manchester FC.
The Home team shirt will be the Red and the away Blue.

They are to build a new state-of-the-art stadium with a capacity of 90 thousand on the site of City's ground, and use Old Trafford (the land of which will be sold to off-set the United debts) until it's completion.

Sounds marvelous to me.

They are paying for the stadium at the moment, but will make a lot of money soon.
Even before building their new stadium they've hardly spent much on players. The stadium is just an excuse they're keep repeating over and over.

Personally i think they're pretty happy with what they've got. Arsene wenger being the manager that never insist on spending big is exactly what they're owners wants (perfect match for them).

I mean even Juve with all the disasters that happens to the club during the calciopoli and everything that goes with it (no CL football + spending a year in serie B plus building a new stadium) yet we still managed to spend much more than them.

Bottom line is They're pretty cheap....

It's true that Wenger is, he pisses off a lot of fans because of it, he is constantly looking to develope rather than buy a finished article.

West Ham bid for Henry

West Ham have made an audacious bid to sign Thierry Henry in a move which would see the Frenchman become the highest-paid player in their history.

Thierry Henry was a member of the 2003-04 Invincibles side at Arsenal

Henry has been heavily linked with a move away from Barcelona with reports indicating Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls would be his most likely destination.

However, West Ham joint chairman David Sullivan has revealed he wants to sign theformer Arsenal striker and it is reported he is willing to offer him a two-year deal worth around £75,000 a week, more than £7.5 million in total.

"We're trying to assemble a more prolific strike force at West Ham and I'd love to have Henry here," Sullivan told The Sun. "Our club is in debt but a striker of his quality and standing would make it a great deal.

"Henry is still up there with the best."I've made an offer which would make him the highest-paid player in the club's history."And it's a serious offer because Henry could walk into almost any Premier League side.''


West Ham are still on the hunt for a new manager and it's likely that the first job of any new boss will be to re-assemble a squad, starting with the club's plethora of strikers.

While Carlton Cole was the Hammers' most consistent striker, he still only netted ten Premier League goals, with only three of them scored in 2010. Alessandro Diamanti netted seven, though he is the club's designated penlaty taker, and youngster Zavon Hines has shown glimpses of his potential.

But Guillermo Franco, Mido, Benni McCarthy and Ilan have flattered to deceive, with McCarthy and Mido - both players with proven premier League goalscoring records - failing to score a single goal since arriving in the January transfer window.
