If this is correct there is going to be a mass unveiling
Manager plus all the news signings in one go. Statement of intent again.

Have it confirmed that Fernandinho is in Manchester for medical, but no announcement imminent - could be next week
Why next week ?
Spain out of the U21 Euro's by then? ;)

CLASS ACT, Him and Yaya in the centre of mid will be formidable.
With Rodders and Barry as back up .... :)
Does anyone have a sneaking feeling Barry might be sold ?

No I think Barry will stay, as will Rodders, as will Jimmy

I can honestly see Barry staying atleast 1 more season then maybe MLS but having Barry, Rodwell & Garcia as a back up 3 aint too shabby
I have not doubt this guy is top draw but why are we signing a 28 year old?? Not exactly one for the future?
I would sooner be signing much younger the likes of Isco would be more in line with the plan if that is to go down the holistic route.

There has to be a balance of experience and youth...and I reckon Isco will be coming regardless ;-)

I think the plan is to get a few in who can help take us up a level in the short term, whilst we also bring in younger players a bit more slowly (short and medium term), and at the same time start to really make the academy work (medium and longer term)

You have to have a balance/blend of younger and older players. This guy has been there and done it in the CL, he's just what we need.

Not having a go mate but I see this, "he is 28......not one for the future" bollox more and more and its frankly crap.
28 means he is at his peak and modern day football science, medical care and diet and fitness means he has a shit load of years ahead of him yet.

He's being bought to help us win stuff now.
What impresses me about all these players we are being linked with is that though we have players who are comfortable on the ball and are actively looking for it, we have players who aren't. These new ones just take it a notch further up and add incisiveness with their play...and if we get Cavani, that will really be the final bit of the jigsaw...

Makes perfect sense and would appear to be long term and short term thinking.
Fernandhino and Toure should be main stay for next 2-3 years with the like of Rodwell playing understudy but with enough game time to bring him on to be as good as we think he can be.

The way Cheeky is going about things I am convinced more than ever the players on Pellis list will be here.
The papers have indicated slight variations in defenders and whether 5 or 6 players but
Cavani
Fernandhino
Isco
Navas
(defender)
If there is to be a sixth
Alicantara
Seems like 2 of them done, 3 or 4 more to go and I am 90% confident these will happen. :-)

This x2 (Also Yaya was 27 when we bought him and he has proved to be, to say the least, a great acquisition). Players like Fernandinho have huge motors. He has a good 3 or 4 years at his peak. Fantastic buy.
