Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

Fifa's new transfer tracking system is bad news for Manchester City
• Manchester City's spending will be closely monitored
• Uefa's financial fair-play rules limits spend to 60% turnover
With Manchester City about to spend another £27m slug of the £573m Sheikh Mansour has invested in his club, this time on Edin Dzeko, the world football authorities now have the means to keep count.
Fifa's multimillion-pound Transfer Matching System is being formally introduced in the current transfer window. It will ensure Uefa receives human and computer‑monitored data for the spending of every one of their licensed clubs. And with Uefa's financial fair-play rules limiting spending on players to 60% of turnover, City are the likeliest to flunk the test.
"TMS can track, define and hold accountable what clubs are doing with each other," a senior Fifa source said. "We will have regular contact with Uefa's financial fair play department."
TMS is not restricted to Uefa licensees and for every one of the 10,000-15,000 international transfers each year club officials on both sides of the transfer must input data of fees, bank account details and instalment schedules to the system. Everything must have matched for the transfer to be given international clearance.
Although it would clearly be of no concern in City transfers, TMS officials will also have dialogue with Interpol when anomalous employment contracts or transfer fees might point to evidence of money-laundering.
"After the billions of dollars that have been flowing in to football, the regulators now have growing momentum so undesirable behaviour will be weeded out," said the source. "The overall benefit to football of a clean, credible [transfer] environment is incredibly important."

This together with the FFP will make things awkward for City IMO, I am hopeful that these changes will be a good thing.* The above is posted in my opinion. Feel free to disagree.Comment

Signed and sealed.
Edin Dzeko has joined City after completing his transfer from Wolfsburg.
He has signed a four and a half year deal and will wear the number 10 shirt.
The prolific 24-year-old striker can’t wait for the new marriage to start after a lengthy engagement.
He is likely to make his home debut against Wolves at CoMs on Saturday week (tickets still available).
“It has been a long time that I have been linked with the club going back to last summer but Wolfsburg did not want to sell me until today,” he smiled after completing a medical.
“There was too much speculation in the papers but my head is always clear. It is important that is the case because if you think too much about what might be it is a distraction and it can affect your game. I was always attracted most to joining City.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

**** 'em.
He's hot property because he scored a load of goals in a **** league. Didn't Kuyt, Kezman and Alfonso Alves have a better ratio?
Absolutely **** 'em. City are such a farce that even if they won the league for the next five consecutive years, I still wouldn't give a ****. They're a circus. ******s who spend billions of pounds on average players.
If this chap was that good then he'd be playing for Barca, Real or United. Yet City seem to have a clear run at goal for him. Bollocks.

I think he looks brilliant, and is going to be brilliant.
And I also think that I may have got a league or two mixed up.
I think?!
I still think he's a cunt, and City are a bunch of cunts.
Don't you agree with me?

Edit - bring back the Christmas smilies for ****s sake., IIRC Kezman, Kuyt etc all come from the Dutch league whilst Dzeko is from the German Bundesliga.
Even though he is just another money grabber I have to go with Shaggy with this one in saying the he is going to be class! Looks exactly the type of player that will score lots of goals in the premier league.
But while players from the Dutch league have been mentioned, How does everyone think Suarez would do in the PL, personally i think he would go the same way as Kuyt and Kezman, always thought the same of Roy Makaay too when he was in his prime, wouldn't make it here but abroad was amazing.The times they are a changin'.Comment

****er! Is it too late to edit my post?
I'll stand strong on this, even if I'm wrong. I don't see any striker from Germany or Holland being much of a threat in the PL to be honest.
Erm, next time I'll do my research better. But really... Holland and Germany?! Germany has better grog and Holland has the best brasses, so it's pretty much even I reckon

Not a massive fan of Suarez but he's young, fast, lively and does score goals.Originally posted by Gibbo9 View Post
I don't think he'll ever be prolific in the PL but I'd be quite excited if we grabbed him for the right price
