Ed can you give us an indication as to when Martinez will make his first signing? {Ed025's Note - no mate..

He doesn't take over til 1st july

I wouldn't have thought his takeover date would be a hindrance seen as though Pellegrini has agreed deals with Fernandinho and Jesus Navas when he is technically not Manchester City's manager yet.

He would of told Bill who he wants and who he would like to sell already. It'll come down to how quick we negotiate with the clubs and players etc. So wouldn't expect any signing before the players return to training maybe even couple of weeks after that. IMO

And of course Bill's such a cheapskate he doesn't like to sign people until as late as possible to save non playing summer wages
