Slowest transfer in the history of mankind!

That'd be Nasri.

I'll have a guess and suggest it's Kaziu Deyna. Our first foreign import and coming from across the iron curtain and the Polish army, and with Swales and the Home Office involved, it took ages to sort out the paperwork. Deyna was already a veteran when he was signed, and the whole process seemed to add another year to his age. Apart from one game where he showed his old abilities, he spent his time at City playing like an OAP.

Are we there yet?

 

[George Hannah]

Possibly...its frustrating that every day there is rumour that edging closer, verge of signing but nothing happens..

I think selling our own players has a lot to do with it - this £49m nett restriction requires some significant cash coming in to comply.

Don't think so, Sagna free, Fernando £16 million (incl addons?) and Benatia (say) £20 million (I'm not buying the silly money being quoted).

you forgot about Di Maria, Cavani, Pogba, Shaw, Fabregas and Sanchez. I just don't know how you can simply ignore the profound ITK knowledge on here about our imminent new signings.

He was a big disappointment, I agree. However, I don't remember anything about the transfer saga itself.

I watched a game at Norwich where he stood back horrified as Mickey Robinson was being kicked to shreds in a tag tackle by their neanderthal defenders (maybe in the hope that the blood soaked ball might trickle out for him to elegantly pass to someone else.)

That's true and Barkley obviously. You're right, we're royally screwed.

Apparently an issue between Porto and Fernando according to Martin Blackburn on Twitter. May take a few more days.
