Man City launching £40M bid for Real Madrid pair Gago, Higuain
Manchester City are making a £40 million offer for Real Madrid pair Gonzalo Higuain and Fernando Gago.
Marca says City are making the double bid on request of manager Roberto Mancini.
City boss Mancini has had scouts check on striker Higuain in action for Real and Argentina in recent weeks, while he saw a January deal for midfielder Gago collapse at the final hurdle.
The Argentine pair arrived at Madrid in January 2006 for a combined fee of £27 million.

There is a big difference between watching and commenting on the game than playing it. When the ball comes to your feet , there is only a milli section to make a decision whether to pass or shoot. Strikers ( trained to shoot ) will most often than not shot first ( Good example is Robben ) You can not have eyes around your head to see who is there around you and you will have to take your chances. Some times it does sometimes it don't. This is the lack of the draw. Raul and Morientes lost a few balls in front of goal. Even CRonaldo missed a few in front of goal at Manchester United. But everybody took it as just one of those things. There is far too much emphasis given on this missed goal and not enough on the way the game was played. Team Work is more important than individual play.
Sorry Madrileno, you claimed that a true madridista won't forgive what Higuain did? You are only good at trashtalking, I give you that. But to say that a true Madridista won't ever forgive Higuain, that is just absurd. I am a madrid fan. I spent two hours to watch that game and I was damn frustrated to see Higuain didn't deliver and I chattted with all Madrid fan in the world about that. Higuain, although with all his selfishness in that game, is undoubtedly an important player to us. He scored important goals for us in la liga. Couple of bad performances in CL and you are saying you don't want him in our squad? That is ***** unfair. His performance did play part in our CL exit but to say the it was only his fault is showing that you are not a wise fan. Did you see how we play in the second half of the match? Lyon were the better team in the second half. No coherence in our team play, some players were out of position and many more TEAM mistakes that cost Lyon to score the goal. So, please, save your trash talking and do some research b4 saying things. Think, think, think...BTW, Higuain scored a hattrick against Valladolid.
my last comment was for the unfairly called "Madrid"...
