Slowest transfer in the history of mankind!

That'd be Nasri.

Slowest transfer in the history of mankind!

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?

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.

the kaka saga is pissing all over any other transfer completion.

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