Zabaleta?!

[blinkblue]

Zaba's having a blinder so far against Columbia! He's improved so much over the last year.

Have you ever heard any rumblings or complaints from Zaba about lack of play time?
Didn't think so!

I think he'll stay another season or two at the least to win more things with us, the guys a fan favourite - Would you leave a club where almost every fan adored you??

Also, Messi looks about 13 and Carlitos looks like hes got his butties in a napsack (hobo error).

Zabs a little belter, he can't do owt wrong in my eyes :)<br /><br />-- Thu Jul 07, 2011 1:42 am --<br /><br />Lastly, whoever gets Falcao (and as of yet it's not certain he'll leave Porto) should consider themselves very lucky.

Levezzi looks quite good.

He's not in his final year, he signed an improved 4 and a half year contract in 2009. He does like fish suppers though.

Here's the article

Roma have made an initial approach to sign Pablo Zabaleta from Manchester City. The Serie A club, emboldened by their recent US takeover and with new coach Luis Enrique in place, are understood to have offered a fee close to the £6.5million (Dh38.5m) City spent acquiring the Argentina international three summers ago.

Zabaleta has been a consistent member of Roberto Mancini's starting lineup at City, valued for his athleticism, attitude, and a tactical intelligence that enables him to play in either full back position and all across the midfield. However, with just a season remaining on his contract the 26-year-old has been unimpressed by City's offers of an extension.

Roma's summer transfer activity is being led by Franco Baldini, the England national team's 'general manager'. Fabio Capello's deputy has told journalists he is doing the work in his spare time, but is preparing to formally return to Italian football once he has negotiated an exit from his England's duties.

City are expected to reject Roma's offer for Zabaleta. The player has also drawn the interest of Malaga, the Spanish club recently purchased by Qatari royal Sheikh Abdullah Al Thani.

No chance! He doesn't have 1 year left...right? + i think he might get a new contract this summer already?

The club wants to keep him and he has no reason to leave and i dont think he wants to...bullshit IMO!

I thought he had signed a new deal as well around the time Hughes was sacked?

The article is wrong. He signed an extension through June 2014 a week before Hughes's was sacked. Still Roma might bid, though.
