8 years ago today: City Stregnthen Further

City boss Tony Pulis said: "He is very fit and strong and he could potentially be our 20-goal-a-season striker."

Asaba Said: "I rate Tony as highly as any manager in the game - in the past he's known how to get the best out of me and knows how I like to play," said Asaba.

"This is a fresh start for me and the gaffer has sold the club to me.

"I can see he has long term rebuilding plans and although things don't happen overnight I believe there is a bright future here.

"When the manager talks about the club and you hear how passionate he is you want to be part of it."
