"Burnley have renewed their interest in Callum O’Hare after the sale of Dwight McNeil. They’ve offered the 24 year-old a major pay-rise, and he’s interested in the move. However, Burnley are yet to agree a fee with Coventry."

Unfortunately they managed to get Stephen in the end from Brighton at the four****th attempt.It is all looking quite pitiful now.
I am starting to see some logic in this set-up.If you were a skillful,ambitious young player you would probably get a hard on thinking about playing for Citeh.So what is better than to put yourself in the shop window playing for their ex captain at a club which is a stones throw from the Etihad?
I like what I am seeing and in the long run it could work out great.Buy them young and relatively cheap from Europe-develop them and then cash in.Luvvly jubbly.
