Jo to Man City for £18 Million


Man City complete their record signing picking up Brazilian striker Jo for some crazy amount like £18 million.
Mark Hughes has just become the new manager of Man City less than a month ago and he's going big and maybe going broke. I think it's a good signing for the club, but based on their performance of the past, let's see what he can do for them.
Jo came from CSKA Moscow where he helped them win four trophies in the 3 years he spent with them. The 6ft 3in forward who's full name is Joao Alves de Assis Silva scored 44 goals in the 77 games he played.
Let's see what magic the Brazillian star will bring. I honestly have never seen him play and look forward to having the Arsenal back four eat him up.
They have also been writing a lot in the press lately that Jo is trying to get Ronaldinho to come play with him. That, I really can't see happening.
So Man City started off strong last year only to finish in 9th place with 55 points and a -8 goal differential. Maybe there will be some change under Hughes this year.
Tune in to see who will be the next big signing in the EPL. Actually in any league.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for either Arshavin or Senna to Arsenal. They're too old for Wenger, but now that Flamini is gone we really need a holding midfielder and Cesc and Senna have already proved they work well together. Come ON Arsene!
