I think City have the hump about paying an extra load of cash when Isco re-signed a deal with new clause that was only offered to lift the fee of the player for re-sale. Cavani and Isco both had new contracts when our interest was known. I think it's not co-incidental we ask for lower fees than release clauses.

Every time we buy a player, the cry is you paid over the odds. Maybe City are negotiating to keep the fee down. A transfer negotiation, who'd have thought it
3 players targeted, we over pay for 1 and it puts the move of one of the other 2 at risk.
Don't know that we did pay over but I do know we needed Fernandinho more than we need Isco
Fernandinho miles more needed than Isco.
