We need to wrap up signings as Fernando, Sagna and Benatia/Mangala as quick as we can before the other clubs come sniffing. Chelsea are already doing it on the Benatia-deal and i am worried that we might loose it. JUST wrap em up swiftly and keep the buissness clean and without issues....!

Manchester City closing in on Fernando signing

The Premier League champions believe a £12 million deal can be completed for the Porto midfielder before the end of the week, with the player expected to fly in to Manchester soon

By Wayne Veysey | Chief Correspondent

Manchester City are confident of sealing the £12m signing of Porto midfielder Fernando in the coming week, Goal understands.

Director of football Txiki Begiristain has been in Portugual recently to negotiate a fee for the Brazilian-born star, a player the club first registered an interest in in January.

And the Premier League champions believe a deal will be concluded soon, with Fernando expected to fly in to Manchester to complete his move in the coming days.

Fernando signed a new contract with Porto after City failed with a deadline-day bid in the last transfer window to sign the midfielder and his centre-back team-mate Eliaquim Mangala.

However, this was seen largley as a tactic to guarantee Porto a higher transfer fee - and it was agreed by both parties at the time that Fernando could move on this summer if an acceptable offer was made.

There has also been interest in the player from a number of Serie A clubs led by AC Milan but City are confident he wants to join them and of finalising a deal imminently.

The 26-year-old, who was recently denied the opportunity by Fifa to representing Portugal, has been targeted by City for his midfield anchorman qualities. He was a regular for Porto last season, making 36 appearances for the third-placed club.

Fernando and Bacary Sagna are expected to become City's first two signings of the summer as Manuel Pellegrini and Begiristain begin reshaping the title-winning squad.

As revealed by Goal, Sagna is in advanced talks to join City on a free transfer after rejecting a contract extension at Arsenal.

Brilliant signing this, closes the huge gaps between defence and midfield. This signing allows us to push further in Europe and not get exposed when a decent side comes against us. Quite cheap aswell only £12 million who is very good defensive midfielder is good business imo.

Really quite happy about this one. Think we got great value
 
If we can close on Fernando for 12, therefore deferring our need for a massively expensive YaYa replacement for a summer, and Sagna on free that would provide us with the ability to make one "world class" purchase of a player to go directly into the starting 11. My preference would be Reus but there are certainly others; Cesc, Di Maria, Koke, etc.

If Chelsea sign Costa and someone like Kroos they will be formidable next year. My primary concern.

I assume that is the case. I simply prefer to buy someone much cheaper than Mangala and give Nasty an additional year before we replace him in the starting lineup long term. Perhaps I'm alone in this, but I'm actually OK with our defense as currently constructed. I believe we had the 2nd best defensive record in the league last year and DeMicheles was much improved in the latter half.
