Weiss and Zabaleta sign new deals

Firstly Vladimir Weiss:

CITY starlet Vladimir Weiss has signed a new contract keeping him with the Blues until 2012.

The World Cup bound Slovakian winger scored his first goal for City against Arsenal in the Carling Cup last month.

And he is now focused on following midfielder Stephen Ireland's first-team footsteps.

And also Pablo Zabaleta:

The no-nonsense right-back has become a popular figure at Eastlands since becoming one of the first players to join Mark Hughes' overhaul of the club in the summer of 2008, signing from Espanyol.

The Argentina international has racked up 50 performances for the club in the that time, despite facing strong competition for a starting place from Micah Richards, not least in part because of his ability to play as a holding midfielder when required.
