I remember the flapping that went on when the Pellers appointment was delayed last year due to 'contract details being finalised'.
Likewise this could drag for a few more weeks but the message to those concerned is don't worry - he wants to move to us, Porto are prepared to sell him, looks like a fee has been agreed only his contract termination details require sorting, nobody else is in for him AND if the worse came to the worse and we didn't get him then we would move on and get someone equally as good. We've got a strong enough squad to cope now.

Respect! ^

i think its the usual 3rd party problem.

Don't you mean the usual city closing a deal problem?

For fucks sake read whats been said about his personal dispute with his Club.Its fuck all to do at Citys end !!

It will only be small details otherwise the deal would be off.

It will be done after the World Cup no doubt, just like most of our other potential deals.

We are dealing with Porto remember.

Even if its stalling it should be done before wc is over. I do not like portos ways of doing things

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........

We're all passionate mate we're just not being girls about it. He's gonna sign, if not we'll sign someone else. The deal's taking a bit longer than expected, that's life

Ha fair enough. I just havent seen anything to really worry me about this signing potnetially not going through, and the stakes arent that high (unlike the tevez signing for example)

I agree mate......its all about keeping the right balance.....just don't see anything wrong if people want to have a panic "girl" moment if something isnt going are way....after all, that's why there is a message board to express your feelings good or bad about the team you love.......

What reasons do we have for thinking the deal is "stalling"?

He hasn't signed yet.

I dont think theres any doubt that its stalling but I doubt it will be a problem
