Maybe there has been some progress with Mangala and the Fernando deal has been put on hold.

I think Fernando and Mangala will be 2 different deals(if we do sign Managla) but for Fernando to return to Brazil....this thing must not even be close......sounds more like a deadlock to me!

I read somewhere that Mangala has joint ownership. If Porto were to do a deal that involved Fernando we could pay more for him and less for Mangala so Porto get more. That's why a deal for both has been on the cards.

Nothing to do with Mangala (whose future won't be settled till after the World Cup and even then it's not just a fee with Porto that has to be agreed, the player has to be convinced), it's some payment dispute.

It'd help if someone who could read Portuguese well could translate that article (<a class="postlink" href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqKrlZyCQAA71GA.jpg:large" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqKrlZyCQAA71GA.jpg:large</a>) because the online version is behind a pay wall. However, the deal still seems most likely to go through once it's sorted, the player probably just got sick of sitting around waiting for suits to sort out details so went back to his holidays (which he had cut short to sign for City). He'll probably be on the first plane over when it's sorted.

I've looked to see if I could find the English vision of the report but cant find it....doesn't O Jogo normally release his reports in English as well???

My God,the flappers are once again out in force.Knicker wetting for no apparent reason. Fernando has decided he may as well go back on his hols whilst the dispute with his Club takes its course.

It's never easy with City is it? Looks like a lot of people, to paraphrase Tobias Funke, 'Prematurely shot their wad and have something of a mess on their hands'.

If we are still ironing out clauses in his contract....(no matter how small they are), they are not as close to deal as everyone thinks/reporting....a deal isn't done until its done......so in this case we are as close to signing him today as we were in Jan........if that makes me a "flapper" then I'm happy to start a "flapper supporters club".......as a new boy to the site. I never did understand the issue with being called a flapper.....I'm passionate about my club and want us to win, so if emotions get the best of us now and again......whats the big deal.....but will always respect other peoples views mate....no matter what they are........

i think its the usual 3rd party problem.

Well, to be fair, his own agent said the deal would be done by the end of the week. It just looks like details that will eventually be ironed out, especially as Fernando has no apparent will to stay at Porto and cut short his own holiday to try and rush through a deal.
