Ambitious City sign veteran Seaman

CHAIRMAN John Wardle hailed David Seaman’s arrival at Manchester City and then delivered a statement of European intent to the rest of his Premier League rivals.

With neither Seaman nor manager Kevin Keegan around to discuss the signing of England’s veteran keeper, it was left to Wardle to bask in the glory of another audacious City transfer coup.

After 13 years at Arsenal, the keeper has followed Peter Schmeichel, Nicolas Anelka, Marc-Vivien Foe and Robbie Fowler through the entrance door of a club languishing midway in the First Division 18 months ago.
