We've clearly got an agreement in principle with Inter for the transfer, otherwise the agent and lawyer wouldn't have flown to Manchester for discussions.
It would appear, as above, that Raiola has come to the realisation that we aren't simply going to offer him a blank cheque and send him on his way, and has shown his arse - no doubt hoping that by stomping off back to Italy, we'll panic and give him what he wants.
I seem to recall Yaya's nut job of an agent giving it the whole "they say they're a rich club, but they act like paupers" whinge after we did the same to him. Look how that deal turned out!
Fact is, his relationship with the Inter players and fans is obviously piss poor, and I very much doubt anyone (most of all the player himself) wants him staying at Inter. Also, I can't see anyone matching the cash offer that we're putting to Inter, so I don't really see him going elsewhere in the immediate future.
We'll just have to sit tight and let this one run its course - I'm confident City will still get their man, but on our own terms. We'll just have to accept that it may not be done as quickly as all of us might have hoped - see also Yaya!
