Don't read too much into a headline. Traditionally, it's supposed to give you the gist of the story underneath, but sometimes a well-known phrase or saying gets the vote.

So it is with the Mail's very readable spread on City. The strapline preludes "They might be the world's richest club but Manchester City are discovering that ..."

And the headline itself, "Money can't buy you love", set in big type against a panoramic shot of Manhattan Island, might lead you to expect a negative view of the club's US tour.

Not so, once you get into Ian Ladyman's balanced and thought-provoking piece filed from Atlanta. He's actually suggesting that the Blues have got it spot on with their long-term approach.

He details where English clubs might have gone wrong in the past in their US sorties, and the danger of jetting over, making an impact, then disappearing again a few days later.

"The good news for City is that they understand all this," intones Laydo after spending a few days at the heart of the tour. "They have ideas regarding how to bring about change."

He notes the success of the rooftop pitch launch in Spanish Harlem and quotes Garry Cook thus: "You have to connect locally through youth development and the community."

Ian adds: "With a US version of their successful website (brownie points there - Ed) also up and running, it looks like City are trying to learrn from mistakes that have been made by others in the past."

There's also a great photo montage with that, by the way, including an action shot of Jo against Sporting taking what will probably be his most uncomfortable tackle of the season.

Sticking with headlines, David Anderson points out in the Mirror that during the 18 seasons of Premier League, the club that has spent most during the summer has finished champions five times. The headline? "You'll never win the title with quids".

Transfer-wise, the Telegraph says City are unlikely to pursue interest in Edin Dzeko as Wolfsburg refuse to lower their £35million valuation for the striker.

The Sun reckons that Stoke are keen to take Roque Santa Cruz while Blackburn are said to be interested in signing Jo when he comes back from the States.
