Could someone please explain this Boateng deal for me?

I don't get why if we're paying 11million for him, we're waiting to his contract is up at Hamburg to announce him. And to be honest I don't get why we're paying 11million if his contract is up early next month.

Sorry, it's probably alraedy been explained but I can't be arsed trawling through 50odd pages.

Cheers

As far as I was aware Boateng isnt actually out of contract at the end of this season but had just not agreed to fresh terms with HSV and has said he wants to move on. He does have an £11M release clause in this current contract which is why we are reported to be paying this figure.

Not sure about what his contract status is, but according to this article:

<a class="postlink" href="http://menmedia.co.uk/sport/football/manchester_city/s/1213425_city_swoop_for_11m_boateng" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://menmedia.co.uk/sport/football/ma ... 1m_boateng</a>

there is an agreement between Boateng and the club already but Boateng's registration can't be officially moved until July 1st, which is the opening day of the transfer window for Germany according to this article:

<a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_window" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_window</a>

So that might explain why this deal is being touted as done but not officially announced.

You can still announce a transfer, it just means his rights are with HSV until July 1st.

35 million euros

I'll be passing this on to one of the mods from now on (if i can). It's been great fun, but i no longer have the enthusiasm or the time to continually update it so it's unfair for me to keep it on when somebody else could be doing a better job of it. If anyone is interested in taking over, PM a mod.

Cheers boys and girls.

They're all like that over here. I long for the day when we can shut the fuckers up.

last season came against us when we didn't had lb and rbs who can cross impressively and also make opponents crumble when they attack.i mean awareness and aggression.

Amen.

I'm pretty sure we're all agreed we've got Boateng and now Yaya has definitely signed for an English club, according to his agent, and all the papers are speculating it's us.
