Spoke to my mate who supports City this week, he's heard it's a done deal. Also says that he's watched him a few times in the reserves and he looks amazing, reckoons he'd be banging on the door of the first team of most other Premiership clubs.
The way he was talking it sounded like he was fit. Am off for a beer with him tonight so will get confirmation either way. He says we've got no chance of landing him permanantly though!
Report on City site dated 15th Dec reckons FC Koln, Hamburg, Freiburg and Stuttgart are all keen on him. In a non Gai kind of way.
