Good. This whole deal has a gigantic whiff about it, as the Guardian suggests this morning.

If I were City, I'd have serious concerns about getting my money back. Corinthians have a new stadium to pay for, and there is no way they can fund this move without substantial 3rd party involvement. The Guardian suggests that that slippery fucker Joorabchian would likely buy back a part share of the player (still legal in Brazil apparently), and personally I'd then give it a year before the player was sold back to Europe for a fat profit with his 'family problems' miraculously resolved. Either way, any deal would come with more strings than a violin shop, and we would be wise to steer clear. The fact that Joorabchian is talking it up in such fashion, should tell you he'll be the one to benefit.
