Just in the last hour or so, it has come out that City are apparently signing Belgian 22 year old defender Vincent Kompany from Hamburg.
This started on the Hamburg website, with a news story saying that he was signing for City and that the club wish the player the best of luck with his future.
Having originally been reported as a done deal, the reporting now is of Hamburg's claim that the deal has gone through, as there has been no confirmation from City. See this BBC piece, which says that MCFC have 'refused to comment' on the story, or this from Sky Sports which again reports the Hamburg announcement as the story.
I'm not believing anything until I see it on mcfc.co.uk.
UPDATE (Friday, 00.11)
There is an article on Friday morning's Independent by Jason Burt. I don't know what his record is on City knowledge, but he claims that Kompany flew in to Manchester on Thursday night, will undergo a medical today and sign a four year deal. And if all goes to plan he will be in the squad for the West Ham match. Does anyone know what Jason Burt's record is like on City stories in the past?
PS That article says that City have bid £10million for Diego Milito, something which showed up in The Guardian, The Daily Mail, and The Telegraph. Did all these reports come from the same source?
