And so it begins...

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)

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!

Sounds good if it turns out like that, most of those players you mention we could stand to loose without replacing now we've got the likes of Sagna and Fernando. Wouldn't want to see Negredo go though without getting a good replacement, I love our striker policy of having four brilliant options.

I think alot depends on yaya with regards strikers from now on. We seemed to play better with yaya advanced last season and for the bigger games and European nights it would be the way to go with sergio up top and fernando and Fernandinho behind yaya.

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 ! )

Gotta dissappoint you there, the last few stock exchange updates came days after they announced the deals.

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

You wouldn't say that if you won Euromillions..

True, just saying you probably won't see the annoucement first on their stock exchange site.

Will never reveal my source as he'd lose his job & you don't do that to a friend.
I said in late May that Silva hadn't agreed a new contract on a New Contract thread on the main forum. I was shot down as McrJohn who is respected on here said he had agreed new terms. Well it's mid July & no announcement still on a new contract for DS.
My Twitter pics kind of indicate I'm well connected.
Mangala has signed. End of. No.20
I will never come on here again if I'm wrong.
I don't know everything about city at all but when I'm told something it's 100% straight up.

that maybe b/c he was away and is on vacation...just like Nasri only signed when he returned...doesn't mean Silva hasn't been offered or he has rejected
