Not so long, since the transfer window shuts soon.
I think he was referring to City wanting the transfer fee ASAP, but Corinithians would want to spread it out over as long a time as possible. I think City have called their bluff well and they are now Kia are trying to shift the focus back on us with the claims of a City counter offer with different financial demands.
Correct macmanson. I think Corinthians, will want to spread the transfer fee (£39m ?)over a a few years, yet we want the cash in a bigger lump sum. The actual fee is probably agreed, but whether they give it us in instalments or all in one go is the issue.
They will probably try and spread it, and sell tevez in 2 years to pay off the rest of the debt they owe us, so they won't actually pay the full £39m out of there own pocket technically.
