Jerome Boateng agrees to five-year deal http://tinyurl.com/2caotbx Jerome Boateng has agreed the terms of a five-year contract to join Manchester City from German Bundesliga side Hamburg SV. JB 同意了五年合約，從漢堡堡加盟曼城。 The German international defender will formally become a City player from July 1st. As this date could still coincide with his World Cup duty with Germany, Boateng conducted a whistlestop tour of Carrington and City of Manchester Stadium in order to finalise the details of his move ahead of the big kick-off in South Africa. 德國國腳將從七月一日開始正式成為曼城球員。由於正值世界盃，所以 在啟程前往南非前，JB 先到卡靈頓和 CoMS 來趟短暫之旅，並確認完 成其合約細節。 （卡靈頓為球隊訓練場地所在 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington,_Greater_Manchester ） Boateng is a versatile defender who can play at either centre-half or full-back. The 21-year-old is highly rated in Germany, having played 75 times for Hamburg and three times for the German national side. JB 可以踢中衛或邊衛；在德國評價很高。為漢堡堡上陣七十五場，德 國國家隊三場。 City boss Roberto Mancini is an admirer of the 6ft 3ins defender, and was delighted to secure his first signing of the summer. Mancini said: “This is a very good signing for Manchester City and I am pleased to bring Jerome to the Club. He is a young player who is already of a very high quality, but I think he can continue to improve at City. “He can play a number of positions in defence, which is important. He has proved his ability in Germany and I think he can be a very important player for Manchester City in the Premier League. “It’s good for Jerome to have agreed terms ahead of the World Cup, so he can now concentrate on playing for Germany. And I will be very interested to see how he gets on in the tournament, before welcoming him back to meet his team-mates in pre-season.” Boateng, who is the younger brother of Portsmouth midfielder Kevin-Price, becomes the third City signing from Hamburg in recent years, following the 2008 recruitment of Belgian utility man Vincent Kompany and 2009 signing of Dutch midfielder Nigel De Jong. JB 是港嘴中場 Kevin-Prince Boateng 的弟弟。而且也是兩年來第三位由 漢堡堡加盟的球員。 （前兩位章魚哥和德容都成為主力了呢！希望 JB 也能在英超表現優良！） -- 世界盃希望能看到他上場了！ --
