Pellegrini wants on-loan
midfielder Frank Lampard to grind it out with Man City until the end of this
season. With Ivory Coast International Yaya Toure out to represent his country
in the Africa Cup of Nations from early January, City's boss wants the New York
City star, Lampard, to extend his stay with the sister club. Pelligrini is
convinced that the 36-year-old who has witnessed no defeat for City each time
he appeared this season will be very useful to City till the expiration of his
services by December ending. Frank Lampard joined the Major League Soccer club,
New York City, from Chelsea at last season's end and is expected to return to
training ahead of MLS first season games in March.
Wilfried Bony has completed his big-money move from Swansea to Premier League champions Manchester City.The Ivorian striker, who is on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations, joins Manuel Pellegrini's side for an nitial fee in the region of £25million with another £3m inadd-ons over four years. Bony, 26, has agreed a four-and-a-half year deal. He willwear the No 14 shirt worn previously by Javi Garcia. 'It’s a great feeling for me, it’s a big honour to be here and it’s a great challenge,' said Bony.
