Wonder if the club is having a rethink on all our transfers because of ffp?

So you think the Club was lying when it unequivocally stated that the FFP settlement would have no effect on this years transfers?

Absolutely not, I'm thinking our targets may change and we would go after some English/homegrown players instead

Any British players of equal ability would be more expensive, the club have already stated this

They always are more expensive. Just reading the other thread where posters were saying that we had an 8 player homegrown rule and five of ours were leaving. Was wondering after UEFA moved the goalposts we would try and add a few English/or homegrown lads . I'm only asking a question and people are getting tetchy about it

i'd be really happy to miss out on this target.
the guy could have signed 6 mths ago for nearly nothing, instead he signed a new contract with porto to bump up the transfer fees.
look elsewhere i say!

Yet there is no player of his ability we could get for the same or lower price, so it's a moot point IMO. He had a low-ish release clause put into his contract as a compromise.

Thats the most important point. Remember our signings are researched as the best fit for our requirements and i'll be honest he will work fantastically well with Fernandihno or yaya and the 3 together? ? :-)

So you do think the club lied in its statement then

The statement where they stated as fact that we were signing fernando,mangala and Sagna ? Lol what's with the attitude ?

So despite the statement saying it had zero impact on this window you still believe it does. Classic.

No attitude I'm just sick of people making up issues the club have already quashed

As far as wiki goes (yes i know) fernando is a city pkayer .

I think it would benefit our european title charge mostly if we can have fernando behind fernandinho and yaya both allowed to attack, he looks like a great unique player.
