What you are saying about: GOT, NOT GOT…

What people are saying about ‘GOT, NOT GOT – The A to Z of Lost Football Culture, Treasures & Pleasures…

* Well, what can I say – your book is a FINE piece of work! Honestly, I think its brilliant and I have seldom put it down since I picked it up…

* The best book about football written in the last 20 years.

* I found myself engrossed again in the trivia that so preoccupied my life between the age of 5 and 15 and laughing until my ribs hurt.

* Wonderful book, great illustrations and is a throw back to days when football was more important than anything else, Superbly written and put together.

* If there’s anyone in your life who attended football when it was still good (60s- 80s) buy them this book and they’ll love you forever.

* I don’t even follow football anymore but I love this book. It’s packed with memories of the game when it was a simpler more enjoyable (to me anyway) sport.

* Superb stuff. Anyone who grew up in the seventies with even a passing interest in football, let alone City, will love this book.

* I utterly and completely love it… so much stuff in there that I’d pretty much forgotten about, but which is a joy to rediscover.

Beckford Signs… Waghorn and Kermorgant Depart

City’s transfer deadline day business could be summed up as one in two out…

Jermaine Beckford completed his signing of a four year contract, after some late night negotiations, with City thought to be spending up to £4M including future add-ons.
The 27 year old scored 10 goals for Everton last season after a prolific spell at Leeds which saw him net 85 goals in just 152 appearances.
Beckford is Sven Goran Eriksson’s 12th signing of the summer.  

Martyn Waghorn, last summer’s big signing, has joined the ex-Leicester City enclave at Hull in a loan spell keeping him at the KC Stadium until January.
Yann Kermorgant, who will forever be remember for his play-off semi final penalty howler, has reached a mutual agreement with the club to terminate his contract and is now a free agent.

City Bid for Everton Striker rejected

Everton have turned down a bid from Leicester City for Jermaine Beckford.

City put in a bid of £2.5M for the 27 year old Beckford, who signed for the Toffees from Leeds on a free transfer last summer, but it has been rejected by the Goodison Park club.

City have struggled to bring in a goalscorer and only this week Reading’s Shane Long and Spurs’ Robbie Keane have both opted to move elsewhere.

It remains to be seen whether City will raise their bid, though Everton are currently short of fire-power themselves.

City Capture the Yak

Sven Goran Eriksson landed the big name he had promised for City yesterday, signing Everton striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni on loan for the rest of the season.

The 28 year old Nigerian international has maintained a good goalscoring record during his career in England which has seen spells with Portsmouth, Middlesbrough and Everton and he has notched over 100 Premier League goals. He scored for Nigeria against South Korea in the 2010 World Cup, one of 21 goals for his country .
Eriksson has hinted that he will be involved in the game at Preston on Saturday.

There has been strong speculation linking Richie Wellens with a move to Premier League Birmingham, though it is thought that the City midfielder will opt to stay at the Walkersd Stadium.

Vaughan to Join City on Loan

Young Everton striker James Vaughan is on the verge of signing a month-long loan deal with City, with an option to extend his stay until the end of the season. 

Vaughan, who holds the record for youngest ever player to score in the Premiership, wen ton loan to Derby this season but only managed two appearances for the Rams before an injury saw him return to Goodison.
The 21 year old has made 46 appearances for the Toffees since his debut almost five years ago, and came on as sub in last year’s FA Cup Final against Chelsea.
