| | Just confirmed on the mcfc website that he has signed for 3.87m with a further 3.87m to be paid after 75 appearances (end of 2008-2009 season roughly by my calculations.) What a clever deal ..... well done city

| Now this is exciting;
Benjani signs for £3.87million
05/02/2008 14:35
Manchester City are delighted to announce the signing of Benjani Mwaruwari from Portsmouth for £3.87million.
The Zimbabwe striker joins the Blues on a two and a half year deal after passing a medical yesterday and agreeing personal terms.
Further payments could be made if the player makes up to 75 senior starts.
The Premier League and Football Association have approved the transfer, and the 12-goal hitman will go straight into Sven-Goran Eriksson’s squad, taking the number 27 shirt.
He is expected to join his new team mates for training at Carrington today.
The Harare-born player captains his national side, and he played in the Champions League while with Auxerre during his four-year stay with the French side prior to joining Portsmouth in 2006.
Chief Executive Alistair Mackintosh said: "I would like to thank Portsmouth Football Club, the Premier League and the Football Association for their help, understanding and assistance in enabling this transfer to be completed to the satisfaction of all concerned.
"In particular I would like to thank Peter Storrie of Portsmouth and Sir David Richards of the Premier League for their hard work and pragmatism.”
Sven-Goran Eriksson said of the deal: “I am delighted that we have signed such a quality player, and I am looking forward to working with him straight away.”

| Have to say that's quite a clever deal IMO.
you know, you know, if a feller named Monroe never fathered bluegrass
he would still be unrecognised as the grand wizard of speed metal

| That really is a very neat price. Not sure how we did this but couldnt be more pleased. Result!!!!
Threw new faces in the Jan window then: Cacieda, Benjani, Castillo.
Sven knew we needed new players adn he has produced, as has Thaksin. Well any previous negativity from my corner I would like to now swallow.

Someone get a message through to Captain Snort
