City & Barca in talk with Mexican club atlas fc

Whilst I like Atlas (its the team my Mexican Wife's family support) I always thought City would buy Cruz Azul and rebrand it to Mexico City FC. That or Monterrey (though their owners have some serious money). I appreciate when you say it in Spanish it wouldn't be MCFC but you get the point :-)
Any promising talent from atlas ?

I must admit I don't follow them that closely since I left Latin America but to be frank they aren't the best team. I think they are bottom of the league currently (and they finished low down last season) which is probably what's driving this from their side. I think in the first instance its to get talent from Europe and then build a base for Mexicans. Chivas is the big team in Guadalajara and they have one of these nationalistic policies (ie they only recruit Mexicans) and i think they attract all the talent. For me its more of a commercial thing for City. When I first went to Mexico about 9 years ago you couldn't buy a City shirt anywhere - now if you go in any Liverpool (the equivalent of Selfridges) they will have it - I got my nephew one last time I was there.
