Sven's done spending... for now

Manchester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson is content with the squad at his

disposal now the transfer window has closed until January.

The former England boss made a raft of signings when he joined the club in the

summer.

It was widely felt that it would take City time to gel but they have hit the

ground running and face Blackburn tomorrow with three victories in four Barclays

Premier League games under their belt.

Eriksson said: "I am happy with our situation at the moment. Maybe we will do

something in January.

"We have a good squad and I do not want to bring players in just to build the

numbers up.

"That would be wrong. We will see what happens between now and January."

The window closing ends a hectic spell for Eriksson on his return to club

management after international duty.

He said: "It has been a busy time for sure. We took in some players and others

left.

"It has been different to what I have been used but I have enjoyed it.

"I am very happy to be back in football after being a year out of the game."

Brazilian midfielder Geovanni is expected to shake off a calf injury in time

for the match at Ewood Park as Eriksson looks certain to recall his key players

following the midweek Carling Cup victory against Bristol City.

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is likely replace Joe Hart between the posts after

a bright start to his league career.

Eriksson said: "They are two young players and there is not much between

them.

"But I think it would be seen as bad management by taking Kasper out of this

game."

Meanwhile, striker Bernardo Corradi has joined Parma on loan until the end of

the season.

Corradi, 31, has not featured in any of Eriksson's squads despite scoring twice

in pre-season.

He struggled to adapt after arriving from Valencia last July and scored three

goals in 29 appearances.
