SVEN FITTING IN PERFECTLY AT CITY

Last updated : 13 July 2007 By editor

New City signing Rolando Bianchi:

"Mr Eriksson called me personally and told me he wanted me at any cost. He told me 'come and we will be watched by 50,000 fans every Saturday and we want to be in Europe'. When he just mentioned the word Europe, I had a big feeling."

Bianchi wasn't able to quantify quite how big this feeling was, but there is widespread speculation that it is bigger than the big bang sculpture outside the Council House.
