Impossible that we paid the sky figures. All will come out soon enough, no point stressing about something small like figures when we have the player signed up, that's all that counts.

Now for Ca Va Niiiiii

If that's true, we're paying £55m for two players. That's the same amount we paid all last summer.

Re: Fernandinho has medical

well it would be in duckers best interest to say it was 24million as that's what he wrote in his piece Tuesday night before he had his medical.

hes going against what he wrote so surely he did talk to the club, don't see why hed lie tbh

Re: Fernandinho has medical

It is pretty pointless talking about the fee, no one knows apart from Txiki, Soriano, Khaldoon and Sheikh Mansour. Pellegrini probably hasn't been told.

I especially won't be believing what reporters and "sky sources" etc say.

The Times journalist James Ducker has said publicly that the club have told him it was definitely 34m up front as a transfer fee only. There's no way he would say this publicly if the club had not told him that.

If it was a blag he'd say "his source" or "a source close to the club". The fact that he's specifically and repeatedly said "the club" has told him makes it seem certain that is the case.

Fernandinho looks an outstanding player, I'm delighted at us signing him, but 34m for a 28 year old midfielder is extraordinarily steep.

If true, its a shame and TBH a bit of a surprise thought the days of throwing obscene amounts of money on older "good" players was over. Oh well, its not our money and I suppose we have to just sit back and trust in their judgement. On a side note I would hope Pellers has been involved in the transfer dealings and its not all down to the Barca lads and that idiot Marwood.

Why would "the club" tell him anything, it's a confidential business transaction?

Re: Fernandinho has medical

34m is definitely too much if it is true, that's what could bring hazard last year and he has good 10 years in front of him.

Re: Fernandinho has medical

The deal hasn't even been officially announced yet this journo has been told how much we have paid?

Like fuck he has!

I worry for us as a country when so many of us seem to lap up what the papers say as gospel, I really do.

He sounds like a t**t anyway, this is what he tweeted an hour ago.
