Might be just me but I'm still not completely convinced. Certainly has great technique but not sure he's physical (or mobile) enough to provide strong cover in defensive midfield? It would be nice to have the option of a really physical DM, I suppose that's Nakamba though...
I've a feeling ( probably just naive optimism ) that Man City will let us buyout the clause, because they'll have signed other players and need to appease ffp.

Or they effectively sell him again to us by asking us to pay off the clause... The players contract would be irrelevant in respect to the buy back clause, I expect.
