Isn't the hold up on this deal all about agents fees ?

That's what was mentioned on Friday.
And didn't City say they were taking a stand about not paying agents fees ?

It was said as City see it the player employs the agent to sort out his deal so the player should be the one to pay the agent and not the buying club.

Sounds like common sense to me, only it takes time for some of these players to understand this.

what you say is absolutely right but is not custom and practice that the clubs pay agents fees?

I dont know the answer but there have been discussions in the past regarding clubs declaring how much agents fees the pay so clubs do pay them - i think its not the principle i think its the amount being requested - City would not put this deal at this risk for a million gotta be a lot of wonga these greedy bastards are after

It is the custom and that is why when City first went down this route with agents I can imagine there was a lot of fall out. It's a pity the press don't report on this or City hold some interviews with a proper sports journalist such as Martin Samuel and try and get this story out if it's true.

It is purely conjecture on my part and I am not sure where this news came from but I definitely read about City having this stance with greedy agents and players who thought because we had money we would just shell out. I think last summer we were the biggest spenders in the market but our agent fees were similar to both Liverpool and Chelsea who spent half what we did on players.

I think City would risk the deal for a million quid, there are other players out there, but you could see why Mancini would be upset about this though. If the club is making a stand it's a pity the "top four" as were don't also stop the practice of paying the agent off to get the player too. Agents are the ones taking cash from the game, the clubs put money back in but once the agent gets his hand on it he looks for the next deal to make some easy money.

If we had some type of guarantee that Silva would not get injured all season I would say forget Nasri as we don't need him right now like most think. Especially if Tevez stays one last season as he or Aguero are both capable of playing in behind the striker with great effect.

Sign Nasri on a free next summer.

I agree about Silva but we definately do need 2 playmakers in the squad this season especially with CL League fixtures etc.

I can't help but think that Arsenal are hurrying us up to finalise the deal as surely there is no way they would play Nasri in the CL on Wednesday?

If they did they know it's the end of the deal and they risk losing him for free instead of the £20 Million+ they would be getting.

Arsenal need the money don't they? What with their stadium payments etc?

Yes, they have money from Fabregas but some has to go towards the stadium as well.

I'd be very suprised indeed if he's not a City player in the next 48 hours.

It's definitely only down to agent fees that has been confirmed by city.

Thing is it's principal and the fees are huge up to 3 million. They hope it goes through but by no means certain. The agent basically want the fee he would get if he was going on a free transfer which takes the piss considering the fee we are paying.

Mancini has made it clear if he plays in champions league we won't sign him and that is quite right. No time left to get an alternate now and mata is going to Chelsea.

We really do not do our selves favours on some of the deals we want to do. It would difficult to say this deal has been well handled by all parties involved.
