Manchester City signed three players in day! A remarkable spending spree saw Croatian Vedran Corluka, Spaniard Javier Garrido and Brazilian Elano Blumer join the club on Thursday.

New manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has now made seven new signings since he took over with Rolando Bianchi, Martin Petrov, Gelson Fernandes and Geovanni also moving to the club.

‘The arrival of millionaire former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has allowed City room to spend freely ahead of the new season,’ reports Sporting Life.

Brazilian midfielder Elano Blumer joined from Shakhtar Donetsk for £8million. Elano, 26, has agreed on a 4 year deal.

Vedran Corluka, a defender from Dinamo Zagreb, arrived for an undisclosed fee, although reports from Croatia suggest City have paid about £7million for the 21-year-old.

Garrido, 22, joins from Real Sociedad for £1.5million. Sociedad got relegated last season from Spain’s top division.

I hope all this massive spending ensure at least a top half premiership finish for Manchester City.

Latest Update:

Manchester City have completed the signing of Valeri Bojinov from Fiorentina.

The Bulgarian international becomes Sven-Goran Eriksson's eighth summer signing, for an undisclosed fee (believed to be around £6million).
