No it's not goodbye to everyone's favourite cyber-curmudgeon it's most likely going to be the message from Roberto Mancini to Martin Petrov as his deal is due to run out at Man City...and Everton are said to be waiting in the wings to sign him up.

It appears that, once again, David Moyes has donned his velvet cape and waxed moustache and is stood behind a curtain rubbing his hands together really quickly as he waits for Petrov's contract to run down.

Or we may just need to brace ourselves as we're going to be linked with every out-of-contract left winger until Steven Pienaar's future is resolved.
Though, if available on a free, Petrov would certainly be a welcome addition to the squad as he is a quality player.
West Ham are also said to be monitoring the 31-year-old's situation at Eastlands and no doubt Tottenham will throw their hat in to the ring at some stage!
