If this is true then we would have to factor in players signed like Fernandinho, Navas, Negredo and Jovetic all of whom will have amortized values entering this season. It can't work both ways.

We have a deal in place that is for this year and next now.

UEFA cannot have their cake and eat it.

That deal is merely just a stricter enforcement of the rules specifically for us. I doubt that UEFA have wiped off all of our transfer dealings before this settlement was made. If that was the case and the £50m cap was based on amortized figures then we could theoretically sign five £50m players to 5 year deals because that would be 5 lots of £10m in book value.

I seem to recall it's £49m additional spending. Otherwise their punishment would be retrospective which would see City's lawyers actually rubbing their hands with excitement. It would instantly bring FFP down so I doubt UEFA are that stupid.

Shirely it can't be an amortised value? 49 million wouldn't barely be a cap at all. It would just about stop us signing Messi and that's it!

London is where he lived for quite a while so I'd expect he would prefer there. But is Mourinho someone he'd like to work with? The shine is wearing off Mourinho but i think players still see him as a winner. I think he'll go to Chelsea.

I am disappointed that Kolorov, Milner and Rodwell are on their way.

I struggle to think of affordable replacements. This us where FFFP have screwed us. Cants.

Not really, bud.

Rodwell never plays, Milner hardly plays and Kolarov could be the key to getting Benatia for £10m less than Roma are holding out for.

Those three bring in £25m.

Fernando is already filling any void in midfield.

Kolarov and £15m would be enough for Benatia.

Which means we have only spent £27m of our £49m cap.

We'd still have around £30m to spend on Fabregas.

Sagna - free

Benatia - £15m plus Kolarov

Fernando - £12m

Fabregas - £30m

That puts us about £8m over the cap.

But that's before further sales of players such as Richards, Sinclair and maybe £2.5m we get for Barry if he joins Everton.

It would be tight, but a back-up goalkeeper and a left back (Ashley Cole on a free, perhaps?) would see us squeak?

We don't need much.

It helps that Lescott's £90k per week or whatever it was is off the books, but are we able to bring those players in and not increase our wage bill? I think this is another reason for selling Milner. He must be on about £80k per week, yet he's a squad player. Doesn't matter how much we love him, Txiki and Ferran will look at his wage and then look at his role in the squad and will decide he needs to leave. Fabregas' wages will be huge. Can we afford them?
 
Re: Cesc Fabregas

Apparently it's Abramovich that wants him, not Mourinho. Could be funny seeing him forced to play as a holding midfielder under Mourinho while Abramovich sits in his directors box looking annoyed.
