Fernando

[Mr. Aguia]

If that fee is right and if we can get our defender and new keeper for around £30m, the sale of a few players like Micah, Sinclair and Rodwell or Guidetti could give us enough to make one other decent signing if needed.

You really think we could get Mangala/Benatia for around £18 million? Don't see that, unless you were on about net spend.

We can't spend over 45m net. If we get Fernando for 12m that leaves 33m. If we sell a couple players we would have more. Could we not have some kind of deal in place from January for both Mangala and Fernando at 40m? What we offered in Jan and perhaps an agreement was made that if we waited until the season was over we'd get them for 40m? Just a thought but with Chelsea selling Luiz they are certainly going to go all in for Mangala now and since he prefers to live in London we may have to move on to someone else, Godin, Garay etc..

If we get Sagna, Fernando, a back-up keeper and Mangala/Benatia. And the players leaving are Micah, Pants, Barry, Rodwell, Sinclair, Guidetti and Lescott. We will still have to sell someone to bring another one in. If we want another Left-sided attacking midfielder we will have to sell one of our strikers. if we want another central midfielder Garcia would have to be sold. So i don't think money is going to be a problem if we want to add someone else after those first 4.

Looks like we have got ourselves a bargain.

Micah, Sinclair and Guidetti should fetch around £500.00 between them but at least they'll be off the payroll.

Rodwell ? One more season of being a crock and he'll be going on a free as well.

Same thing happened when we bought Robinho I recall.

What do we know about Fernando ? £12 million sounds cheap but is that the end of it or have we agreed add-ons to get round FFP ? Another £1 million each time we win the Premiership over the next 4 years or something like that ?

He's like Javi Garcia, very disclipined, but he's more agile, has more pace, passing range is better too.

We already got a 2.5m loan fee for Sinclair and Southampton are rumoured to be bidding 2.5m for him .......we should get similar amount for Giudetti....Micah 5m+

Anyone have any idea when this is going to be announced?
