Confirmation today of the news that Jô is to spend the whole 2009/10 season on loan at Goodison Park. For him to go back without even a second look close up from Mark Hughes shows how far he is from our long term plans. It would now be quite a surprise ever to see him again at City: he's contracted until 2012 but I can't forsee Hughes taking him back in summer 2010.
I know it pays to dampen expectations on big money buys but did anyone imagine that our then record £19m signing would only score one Premier League goal for us? Me neither.
Another bad buy from the Thaksin SGE era.
ReplyDeleteI see we're now officially NOT signing Eto'o (see mcfc) and I must say I'm suprisingly relieved. Especially after unconfirmed rumours that he would take a pay cut to join the rags... He just struck me (despite being a superb player) as someone who could really upset the apple cart. We want dedicated winners like John Terry, not wideboy mercenaries like Eto'o.
