    Just seen this

    Does this make sense - City couldnt sign Lampard and play him in the CL but they can get their affiliated club to sign him and then get them to loan him back to them?

    Not sure why they want him like but this does seem a bit dubious if its what they are doing

    I think it's exactly what they've done. I imagine they'll keep doing it too.

    They've got two clubs to do it with too, one in New York and one in Sydney.

    Impose whatever rules you want but the fact is City have enough money to find away around it and if they can't do you think they'd think twice about giving a back hander to UEFA/FA/SKY/MEDIA?

    Just shows how decked football is at the moment.

    I can guarantee that if it isn't stopped Man U will be getting players on loan from Tampa Bay Buccaneers soon...
