Word of warning. He has a complex 3rd party ownership agreement with Porto only owning 56% of him - we will have to buy out the remaining 44% so it will not be a free transfer.

Exactly. "informal" or "gentleman's" agreements aren't worth the paper they are written on, particularly in football. I shall contain my satisfaction at this signing until it is official. We also need a backup plan given that everyone now knows our targets.
Whilst I agree with your sentiment, I also think a 'gentleman's agreement' can be useful. They tell you an awful lot about the character of the person and if someone goes back on their word then a club is lucky to have dodged a bullet.
Look at the difference between Hazard and Pellegrini. Hazard flaunted himself round like a prostitute before signing for Chelsea. He flirted with Us, United and put everything on Twitter like a soap opera. It doesn't matter what he says now the only reason he is at Chelsea is for the money and chances are he would ditch them at the chance of a better offer. Compare it to Pellegrini who had more lucrative offers in the summer than us, but he kept his word and joined us.
That's the measure of the two people, one is honest and you would trust your club with where as the other is looking after their own interests all the time.

Word of warning..... That 44% becomes null and void when the contract expires, his signing on fee will incorporate agent percentage and we will retain the whole 100% of his registration

The 56% does, but I wouldn't be too sure about the other 44% stake the middlemen have. This 44% could be a career length deal for all we know.Zin 'messiah' Zimmer said:BlueAnorak said:Word of warning.

Agreed those numbers are for Mangala. However I did read that Fernando has some third party complications, might just be papers extrapolating the Mangala situation.

Unless, of course they want to offload Vidal and Pogba.
