Douglas Luiz - coming back?

[aldridgeboy]

Hopefully tomorrow will be the announcement and we can all move on.

At the minute it’s like a Saturday morning waiting for your Friday-night shag to sod off home.

Ha ha that made me lol

At least somebody is happy with the sale (of the century):

From MEN: 'City inserted a sell-on clause in the deal, believed to be 20 per cent of any future profit Villa make. So if the £42m figure is correct, 20 per cent of Villa's £27m profit would total £5.4m to boost City's budget.'

It hasn’t been missed. All paperwork filed. Medicals completed. We met the PSR requirements by the deadline.

Doesn’t Jim Radcliffe have to ratify it though

You may have a point there Mr Beard.

This also explains why we are doing this as a separate deal not an exchange. Manchester City have far more reason to be aggrieved than Man United, do.

Fuck them both...

[cdbearsfan]

Well, sure. Can't disagree with that.

I'm not sure how it works. Someone told me that it's 20% of his book value.

[cdbearsfan]

Ah okay, ta. I did wonder why nonody was making a fuss about that.

[DrGonzo]

20% of the profit?  He signed for £15m and is selling for £25m, that's a profit of £10m and a £2m payout, isn't it?  This maths stuff is all beyond me.
If there's still PSR concerns this should be done and dusted today, it's been an actual transfer "saga" and one of the more reported upon pieces of our dealings in recent times, it shows how Juve like to do there work as I'm sure not much would have leaked from our end.

[ChicagoLion]

Still not done then.

[Drummond]

Not announced at any rate. I wonder if the paperwork is complete but as he's at the Copa, they are waiting.

£42m, depending on the exchange rate. €50m.

Should go through today as expected, apparently.

[Goldenballs]

Still gutted about this, we would have laughed Juve out of town if it wasn't for PSR. Excited to see what the new guys bring though.

[kippaxvilla2]

Enzo and Sammy look pleased.
