I don't have a clue what has gone on in last couple hours and neither my City employee source, who earlier today informed that Barcelona had spoken with us directly this morning.
Cue much excitement from certain staff.
What I can tell you is that a number of national newspapers were running a story tomorrow basically saying that Barca had given City the green light to conclude a deal.
Eto'o as of last week, had, through his lawyer, indicated that he was still prepared to come to us.
Nothing makes sense at the mo. I'm not one for conspiracy theories and have read things such as smokescreens and other targets becoming available.
It may just be that Eto'o forced our hand.
I've lost a bit of money today, and although no-one should risk monies on the say-so of other internet posters, my earlier convictions were completely genuine.
Regardless, will continue to post info in the future and my guy certainly owes us all one. To be fair to him, no-one saw this coming, apart from maybe the manager and Garry Cook.
Thanks alot for the update mate and I think khaldoon was given the go ahead from another club hence why we pulled out early, just my thoughts.
