There is plenty of international news kicking around the football pages today but not much new in the way of City gossip.
The Sun reports that Robinho will be in Manchester today for talks with Roberto Mancini. The player’s loan to Santos ended on August 4 though this is not a story picked up by any of the other papers.
The same publication also reports that former City favourite Benjani could be on the verge of signing for Blackburn and has spent time at the Rovers training ground. The Guardian, Mail and Mirror all have the same short piece.
Carlos Tevez features in the Star in a story by Kevin Francis which extensively quotes the Argentine international who captained City on Saturday night.
“I think Roberto Mancini will make history with this team if we have some luck on the pitch,” the Blues leading scorer from last season is quoted as saying.
“We have strengthened and we are stronger. There is no great difference between all the top teams now.”
The Times, meanwhile, pontificates on a possible load move for Nedum Onuoha to Sunderland, a piece that the Mail, Star and Express also run.
And finally, according to the Star, Andrew Tutte is on his way to Rochdale for a temporary stay.
Watch this space for the definitive news on those or any other transfers in or out.
