City’s sensational star sale

Manchester City are set to dump three of their expensive stars in the summer. According to reports, striker Emmanuel Adebayor, winger Shaun Wright-Phillips and left-back Wayne Bridge - representing £50million worth of talent - will all be shown the door by manager Roberto Mancini. The money raised from the sale of the trio, as well as midfielder Stephen Ireland, will be used to fund a sensational move for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres. Adebayor cost the Blues £25m from Arsenal last year and has hit 13 goals in 28 games. Wright-Phillips and Bridge were bought from Chelsea for £8.5m and £10m respectively. The 23-year-old Ireland has been with the club since he was 15.
