Guys goal.com just tells us what the papers say all in one site they rarely make up their own gossip.
MANCHESTER CITY will switch their sights to Portugal’s Bruno Alves if they miss out on England skipper John Terry.
And that would put City in direct competition with Chelsea again, as new Stamford Bridge boss Carlo Ancelotti also wants £20million-rated Alves.
The Porto defender is also a target for Champions League winners Barcelona and has become one of the most wanted players in Europe.
City have already been in competition with Chelsea for Carlos Tevez and have rocked The Bridge by their audacious £30m move for Terry.
The Chelsea captain is City boss Mark Hughes’ top target for the centre of his defence but he is also eyeing Everton’s Joleon Lescott and another England international – Matty Upson at West Ham.
Arsenal’s Kolo Toure has also been on Sparky’s radar but the new name in the frame is Alves, 27.
Hughes knows, though, that he faces major competition for ‘Big Bruno’.

Interesting article from the Times website (apologies if already posted)
Chelsea want John Terry to put up or shut up
Duncan Castles, additional reporting by Jonathan Northcroft
Roman Abramovich met John Terry yesterday as Chelsea called their captain’s bluff over his highly public flirtation with Manchester City. The Russian billionaire will reject a third, £30m-plus bid for their captain this week and has told Terry there is no intention of matching City’s offer to double his pay to £250,000 a week.
While Abramovich is ready to make Terry the best-paid player at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea’s owner will not go significantly beyond the £150,000-a-week salary granted to Frank Lampard last summer. For his part, Terry is understood to have requested permission to speak openly with City about their plans. Chelsea denied that was the case last night. There have already been significant under-the-table discussions and the England international has asked football dealmaker Chris Nathaniel to help negotiate with City.
Nathaniel already represents Robinho, City’s current best-paid player, and Micah Richards. He has previously secured Terry a lucrative book deal, works extensively with his England teammate Rio Ferdinand and last season fronted a Nigerian takeover bid for Newcastle United that came to nothing.
Terry’s advisers say he has been disquieted by the time it took Chelsea to contact him after initial news of City’s bid broke, and that he has had to wait a week to speak directly with Abramovich. They do not rule out the possibility of the centre-back joining City.
Should Terry decide to place Sheikh Mansour’s petrobillions ahead of his frequently stated devotion to Chelsea, the London club will force Terry to hand in a formal transfer request and make clear that the player is the driving force behind a move.
City remain confident that Terry will be their player before the new Premier League season begins. The England captain spent part of a recent holiday in Dubai with Mark Hughes and their manager believes that Terry is unhappy with Chelsea's failure to add top-class players to their squad and a lack of consultation over Carlo Ancelotti’s appointment.
When City made their first unsuccessful bid for Terry in January, the player’s agent, Aaron Lincoln, was negotiating the transfer of Wayne Bridge to Eastlands. During that period, Terry had expressed his discontent with the training methods of Luiz Felipe Scolari, Chelsea manager at the time, and a message was sent to City that the central defender “wanted outâ€.
Hughes is in the market for two centre-backs and has calculated that Terry can reinforce his defence, providing leadership to what has been an often fragile team while satisfying his employer’s desire for a star signing. City’s decision on Friday to withdraw an offer for Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o was believed to be partly motivated by their belief that Terry will go through with his exit from Chelsea.
Chelsea believe Terry is using City’s overtures as a means of further improving his financial position and status at Stamford Bridge, and that the 29-year-old has no serious interest of leaving.
It would certainly be politically difficult for Terry to be seen as the instigator of a move away from a club with whom he has fashioned a public image of slavish loyalty. Talking in February about City’s initial bid for him, Terry said: “Chelsea told me what had happened as a courtesy. I was very happy with their reaction, as mine would have been the same. I have always said that I want to end my career at the club which I love and we all see no reason why that cannot happen.â€
Though Terry has had several injuries in recent seasons, Chelsea continue to insist he is “not for sale at any priceâ€. The club are, however, mindful of dealings with Terry over his last contract talks in 2007, when he signed a five-year deal.
During those negotiations, Terry asked for a 10-year contract that included a clause guaranteeing he would be the club’s best-paid player for the duration of the deal. The defender also wanted an option to become Chelsea’s manager when he retired from playing

After hearing this news I thought I just had to post!
I live in London and just bumped into a senior Chelsea official who is very recognisable. I started talking to him about our club and he told me that the Terry deal was a done deal in his eyes. Terry has already annoyed some of the Chelsea staff by wanting this move and has told them he is coming to Man City for 300k per week!! He wants to bring his own staff with him and has asked for a team to escort him to manchester. The guy I spoke to said it extremely likely Terry will join in the next few days as he can't turn the soert of money we are offering down.
Hope this helps
F.O YOU RENTBOY W.U.M!!

SSN very shortly airing a story about Terry wanting to talk to us... Will update when it comes up, just doing the boring fucking cricket now...
Update: quoting several newspapers, NOTW mainly. Just saying he's disappointed with the signings and would like to talk to us. Stopped short of a transfer request (loyalty bonus they think again ARGH!)

John Terry Foundation?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
No feckin thanks.
It's one thing hiring a mercenary bastard to try and crack the top 4. It's quite another dressing it up as something philanthropic ffs.
(Stephen Taylor mentioned in one paper as possible replacement for about 10 mill from barcodes!)
