They also say Pellegrini may not be announced until early next week... why?

Maybe the timescales of the rest of his team he`s bringing with him,contracts,etc are taking longer than anticipated.
Its not correct. but its on its way to become one of those great myths that never will go away.bobmcfc said:Sky said £35m. Can that be right ?

They must be doing that thing where they add on the wages to make it look like a whopper

If the same principle was applied to the van Persie signing, it would've been reported as a £62m deal. Yet not one media outlet announced it as such, as far as I'm aware. Why is that?
eh, i have already seen mentions of full £42,5m release clause triggered. watch common assumption propel to £50m shortly.zeven said:Its not correct. but its on its way to become one of those great myths that never will go away.bobmcfc said:Sky said £35m. Can that be right ?

Seems to fall within that timescale to me.
That interview was in New York, way before Friday
Bloody hell, Tevez for £25? No wonder they were telling Fergie to sign him up!rickmcfc said:It's like the Tevez deal gets reported as £48 million. We bought him for £25. Fucking hate it when the rag lying scum press report things this way.
hmm But then again, you are not a rag so its understandable :)SuperYaya said:I also find £34m hard to believe.

The interview was before Friday but Khaldoon knew when it was to be broadcast and may have used his timing with respect to the broadcast date rather than the recording date.

yatesy94 said:Also find it difficult to grasp he cost us the reported £34mill, especially with him being 28 years old and not having any resale value. Glad City have finally wrapped this deal up from what I've heard he's some player and has a great work ethic. Hopefully he'll work his arse off next season and aim to get in that Brazil squad. Be interesting to see what we reveal his actual transfer cost is.
