I'm starting to think this could happen.
We are still within our £50,000,000 transfer limit even with the signing if Mangala. If we can get £8,000,000 for Micah, £8,000,000 for Garcia and £8,000,000 for Roswell then we will have £24,000,000 to spend plus our wages will be reduced in line with EUFA's sanctions.
When interviewed in his car last summer he seemed to be happy to be signing for us (which was the intention before Madrid came), he was smiling like mad when they were asking him about City.
Think we will be his first choice should he leave.
First of all, i am pretty certain that the limit is 60M Euros, whatever that translates into pounds as the rate changes.
Fernando 15M E
Mangala 40M E
Caballero 4.4M E
Zuculini (not sure it counts though) 2.2M E
Also not sure whether the Nigerian lad counts
Thats over 60M Euros. We need to sell in any case to reduce foreign players and get within the limit.
Also, based on his displays in friendlies and his injury prone nature, I doubt Richards would go close to 8M pounds. Maybe even half. Rodwell might, b/c of potential and multiple clubs bidding. Garcia's wages are an issue.
Isco, if he comes, would most likely be on loan unless we sell someone big (Nasty, Jovetic, Negredo)
