The old 1-1-3-5
From information leaking out of Manchester City about their new owners’ transfer targets, The Spoiler has cleverly summised Manchester City’s future formation. It looks a bit defensive on the right-flank, if you ask us! Although the Dracula-esque keeper might be a bit dodgy with crosses. Ho-ho!

Mirror hack rabbiting on
It seems Robinho’s move to Manchester City surprised even the most insider of football insiders. The Mirror’s so-called Football Spy Darren Lewis vowed on transfer deadline day that if the pint-sized Brazilian didn’t join Chelsea he would prevent the following day’s video in a bunny outfit. Oops!

Commiserations to out-of-cash Blues fans
1. Name your child Robinho and plead ignorance.
The best of the deadline day business
1. Tom Soares to Stoke (£1.5 million)
When this guy last played in the top-flight, the big clubs couldn’t wait to throw their money at him. He might have gone off the boil slightly, but he is only 22 and his talent is undoubted. A good piece of business for Stoke.

It just goes to show, it can happen to the best of us. Roman Abramovich is not a man who is likely to be best pleased at not getting his own way. The Russian is likely to be a little embarrassed at failing to land Robinho, not only because his oil money was outbid but also because Chelsea were so convinced that they had got their man.

City manager Mark Hughes said: “”I’m stunned and excited. Both myself and the fans are very excited by what’s going on. There have been a lot of disruptions and negative publicity but that’s been put to the side in one fell swoop.”

The Blues new owners pick unfortunate name
Surely even the most ignorant of Premier League observers would know that if you are going to take over Manchester City you don’t have anything to do with the word ‘United’. Apparently not. City’s new owners are none other than Abu Dhabi United. The man behind the (slightly dodgy name) is Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim and here he is with his United/City shirt.
