Quite, it's breaking on SSN now that they're actually in talks.
I told you that 2 days ago!Rojo may have cost £16m as a headline figure, but the real cost is ~£21m because Manyoo are giving them Nani for a year, and are also paying his wages for that time (£4.8m, apparently, http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28873767).
Has it been confirmed that we are paying all of Nanis wages while he is there?
The BBC are reporting it, which is about as 'confirmed' as it gets.

Pls sign Mario
I like Mario. He is a bit of a nutter but the good kind. None of this biting malarkey.
Its a bit sad that we have to offer a player like Nani on loan for free for a year to tie up a deal for a half decent signing these days. I expect this will be the squad that we will have till January now with the hope we can get Strootman then.
If all our players are fit for the whole season and play well we might scrape top 4 but lets be honest, we have plenty of injuries already and that won't stop.
Balotelli is close to joining Liverpool. The two clubs reached an agreement in principle, the negotiation speeded up during the night. He should leave on a permanent deal. The fee? Around €20M, without bonuses. In the afternoon, his agent Raiola will be in Liverpool to negotiate the terms of the contract. Today could be Balotelli’s final day in Milanello, Liverpool await him.

Talk about speed...
Newcastle are being linked with Andre Ayew again. This time it seems he is surplus to requirements at Marseille and has been offered to us for around £5m. Given how close Obertan is to the first team I wouldn't mind us signing another winger.
And Arsenal have apparently offered £8m for Tiote. No.
