Lampard To City On Loan

I thought that it was to do with a ratio of homegrown:foreign players that meant we could keep Garcia if we signed Lampard.

No. Teams can have a maximum of 17 foreign players in the squad of 25. We have 18 once we sign Mangala. We're only allowed 16 foreigners in the Champions League though, and 21 players in total. So we need to sell Garcia and then pick one player to not play in the Champions League until we can reassess in Jan. Probably Negredo.

Manuel Pellegrini has said Frank Lampard will play if he decides to select him against Chelsea despite his feelings towards his former club.

Rock solid banter there.

I've been in Glasgow for a week so I've barely seen the news, apologies.

According to Martin Blackburn, Pellegrini has said he can be an important player for the team and will fight for his position like anyone else. Sounds to me that he could be playing a fair bit.

Exactly. He'll be 4th choice behind Yaya, Ferny and Fernando. Far better than Garcia so not a problem in my eyes.
