The transfers a side makes over the course of the summer can generally be seen as an indication of the current position of the club, but perhaps more important, of what their intentions are.

And with just over two weeks to go until the...

Arsenal receive a fee believed to be around £25m and it's good business for all concerned. City get a striker better than Darius Vassell and we get a load of money for a player who didn't want to be at the club...

It is a good time to be a Manchester City supporter at the moment. Billionaire owner, plenty of money, a good young manager, quality players coming into the club and Darius Vassell heading out. Yet surely the question must be asked what happens if it all goes wrong? The big transfer rumour this week concerning City is that John Terry would like to talk to them.
