Manchester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson has drawn up two shopping lists for the January market.

The Daily Mail says the exact state of City's finances under Thaksin Shinawatra remain unclear and that it is far from certain that Eriksson will be given the cash to spend ambitiously.

Indeed, such is the lack of clarity at the club that Eriksson has been forced to draw up two different lists of targets. One contains the names of expensive, top-of- the-range players while the other is much more modest.
