Moving out

There's been a few reports of moves out of City, seems the deck clearing is going to happen.

First, the somewhat sad passing of Sweep. Bolton are going to pay us £2m and we'll pass some of it to Shaun to compensate for the pay cut he'll be taking. And fair enough, I say; he's been a loyal servant to the club. Plus, we'll have made £14m out of him altogether.

And Bridge could be off on loan to the Toon:

They will be paying half his wages. Shame we're not selling here, but I suppose every little helps.

And perpetual loanee Ned Onuoha may now be off to Everton:

Could be a loan, with Everton paying his whole wage. Or they may buy outright, which is what we'd prefer, apparently.

But not leaving to join Villa:

Seems we're sticking with Milner and Johnson!
