Duo granted work permit

Recent signings Valeri Bojinov and Vedran Corluka have this
afternoon been granted work permits in order to be registered for the
Club.
Manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, together with other club representatives,
attended the successful hearing earlier today so that the Bulgarian striker and
Croatian defender can now apply for international clearance.
Sven said: “We
are talking about two extremely good footballers of enormous quality, and I’m
delighted that the permits have been granted.”
Also, Brazilian midfielder
Elano already has his work permit and is hopeful of receiving international
clearance in time to be available for the season-opener at Upton Park.

It is unclear whether either Bojinov or Corluka will be ready in time though for the West Ham game, and it also looks unlikely that either Mark Bresciano (despite him training with us) or a new 'keeper will arrive before the season opener.

Manchester City buy - erm everybody !

Triple signing news !!!! (how long have i waited to say that)

In Chronological order :

Javi Garrido - 22 yr old left back from Real Sociedads

Verdan Corluka - Centre/Right Back from Dinamo Zagreb

Elano - Midfielder 8million from Skaktar Dontesk - hailed by Dunga 'the symbol of the new brazil'

Official Site keep pressing refresh Valeri Bojinov is bound to pop up in a minute or two.

Strange feeling of excitement a bit of giddyness , this is all very un-city like. Fortunately im on holiday next week and will come back to Warnock in charge or something like that and feel a bit more normal ??

Viva La Sven !

Update:

Valeri Bojinov talks about his move here ("I'm disappointed but life goes on") and here ("I'd like to thank Mr Eriksson for this transfer"), and the official City site rounds up what was surely the busiest day news wise we have had for sometime.
