Volkan Demirel May Sign For Man City?

Turkish goalkeeper Volkan Demirel may sign for Man City for this coming Premiership season for what some speculators are claiming may be 10 million Euros. Demirel was sent off during the recent Euro 2008 championships against the Czech Republic for pushing over Jan Koller in the 92nd minute, resulting in a red card.

Now as far as a bit of having a bit of a chip on his shoulder Demirel decided to go hop over to the bench and watch proceedings without leaving the “specified area”, resulting in a two match ban.
