It would appear if we believe Sky Sports News, that Blackburn have rejected City's bid for Scott Dann.

Norwich have tried to tempt Blackburn into allowing their club captain Scott Dann to head for East Anglia, but Rovers are holding on to the 26-year-old centre-back for the time being.

Also whispers are circulating that City have bid £5.5 million for Newcastle's Stephen Taylor. A lot of money for a player who has hardly featured in the 1st team and has a lot of injuries.
