    My Sturridge Don’t Cost A Thing…Or 7M

    So, looks like Daniel Sturridge may cost Chelsea a pretty British Pound. The Professional Football Compensation Committee ruled that the east Londoners owe Manchester City 3.5M for the July 2009 transfer and that number could balloon up to 7M if Sturridge reaches certain milestones.

    Apparently, the two sides failed to reach an amount on an initial fee, and, as a result of Sturridge’s age, City is now due compensation.

    That makes sense…

    Tevez to Sir Alex: “You Scurred”

    That’s right folks, Carlos Tevez claims Manchester United be scurred to play Manchester City.  In a recent interview, the Argentine striker continued his war-of-words against his former squad and, in particular, Man U manager Sir Alex Ferguson:

    “Ferguson is history for me but I know that he is scared of playing against us,” Tevez told Globoesporte. “It’s dangerous for Ferguson’s objectives and for him to criticise Manchester City.”

    Here’s some more kind words from Willow to A-Ferg:

    “[Manchester City manager] Mark Hughes is only focused on his work and the team, he doesn’t get involved in the negotiations,” Willow said. “He has been a football player so there is a big difference in the way he treats each player.”

    Or they’re in talks with Barcelona about a 40 million GBP transfer for star striker Samuel Eto’o. Or not. Wait, now I’m confused.  Man City - are you trying to buy this guy or not?

    Big day for Robinho. The Crown Prosecution Service (British cops, I guess) cleared the Manchester City striker of serious sexual assault charges stemming from a January 14th incident at a Leeds nightclub.

    How do you say “whew” in Portuguese?
