		<description><![CDATA[I thought Hughes&#8217;s signings were brilliant &#8212; bringing in quality to the club while weakening rivals. I loved the tone he took with the media, and he seemed like a good guy to have in charge. I admit I&#8217;m sad to see him go, especially this way. But the performance on the pitch the past [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skybluethinking.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8339720&amp;post=455&amp;subd=skybluethinking&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Robinho and Elano won't be joining them after playing for Brazil in the Confederations Cup last month, and Micah Richards and Nedum Onuoha also get passes after their work with the England Under-21 setup the past two weeks. The English internationals in the squad aren't expected to attend.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skybluethinking.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8339720&amp;post=350&amp;subd=skybluethinking&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
