TARIBO JOINS THE GOD SQUAD

‘Taribo West trained with the Manchester City yesterday as he began a 10-day period of assessment while the club considers whether to make the move longer term,’ reports the Guardian.

‘The 28-year-old Nigerian international defender, who had a spell at Derby County two seasons ago, has been unattached since his contract with the German club Kaiserslautern was cancelled in April.

"Taribo is not here on trial," Kevin Keegan said. "We know what he is about and there is no doubting his ability. I am interested in looking at his fitness."’
