And so it begins...

It was the pace/size comment??

He's 6'2.5". That's pretty tall when you see him sprinting by players like they're standing still.

People of west African descent are the fastest on earth.

Mangala signed his contract at 4pm last saturday & had his pics done with the no.20 shirt. Can we stop questioning whether he's signed.
Porto will not want all & sundry to know they have 30 plus million Euros burning a hole.

huh? Porto will post the info on their stock exchange...so it will be a known factor when its announced (hopefully soon ! )

Was the fee €30m then mate? Sounds better than €40m!

If true would be great news.

£25 million + add ons I would think. so if its £32m deal then its £25 million upfront with £7 million add ons. Great business by Txiki again if true. and that leaves us £7 million to spend without sales as add ons aren't included in FFP, only when paid. (I think)

The good thing about dealing with Portuguese clubs is they post the exact fee to the stock exchange, so the rag media can't lie. If Fernando's fee not been made public, you can bet the Daily Hate Mail and co. would have had it at £18m or so.

Hopefully thats the case as it would mean:

Mangala £25m
Fernando £12m
Caballero £4m
Sagna free

Which leaves us with £8m in the pot with sales still to go.

Garcia £10m
Micah £8m
Guidetti £4m
Sinclair £3m
Beast £20m
Rodwell £10m

Potentially at least £60m in the pot!
