Transfer speculation around Eastland’s club, Manchester City, was again common place in the weekend’s tabloid newspapers, just like every week since the takeover.

I recently did an article on where David Villa would be going due to his current club, Valencia’s economic problems at the moment.

The News of the World has now claimed that he is on his way to City for a massive £52 million in January. All that is left is to finish of the signing of the contract.

The reason for the sale is because Real Madrid have signed Jan-Klass Huntellar and because Valencia need the money to recover from the situation that they have found themselves in.

Other players that were linked to the club over the weekend were Frank Ribery for around the £20 million mark, Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry and Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz.

It has also been reported that Brazilian striker Jo will be offloaded in January.

This is most likely untrue speculation but everyone likes a bit of transfer gossip.

What do you Manchester City fans think of this current speculation?
