Well, the part talking about Mario says:

"For Mario the crucial day is tomorrow, not today, because Manchester city bid is "bivalent" (i.e. there are two possibilities) because the price of the player and the salary are not decided yet. we have to know if Inter will earn more morey and Mario less money or vice versa."


it's clear now? ;)

It would help if we knew what "bivalent" is supposed to mean.

It's a chemistry term. In chemistry, a bivalent ion or molecule has a valence of two and thus can form two covalent bonds with other ions or molecules.

I am sure that's what they meant.

So thats what it means. Excellent stuff.

Now if someone could just translate what Chippy boy said that would be great too

Thanks for the translation, Tripletta.

The exact same problem wrecked the Eto deal last summer, if anyone remembers.

Cheers Tripletta.

Sounds like their still negotiating where the agents fee and Mario's signing fee come from.

Please tell me Im reading this wrong, but is the article saying that there are 2 different offers from us, 1 that for example pays Inter say £26m and the player £80k per week, and another that say pays Inter £29m and the player £70k per week ?

If thats the case we will have quite a wait yet I think

This smacks of a loyalty bonus dispute. There is precedent as recently as last summer. Eto was all set to come but was demanding that Barca pay his loyalty bonus. Barca said he'd forfeited the bonus by agreeing to a transfer. Eto he wasn't asking to leave but the club wanted to sell him so he had to move on.

Anyway the three parties then went at it as to who should be responsible for funding a payment of the bonus. I seem to remember that they asked City to foot the bill for this bonus payment,and rather than doing that, we walked away.
