Seems we payed over the odds for him...

Del Nido explained the club are under no pressure to sell after agreeing a £24m deal to sell winger Jesus Navas to Manchester City.

"The price at which we have sold Jesus Navas is an amount much higher than we thought they were going to offer, especially as there was only one bidder.

I have long wanted a keeper called Jesus, then we could have "Jesus saves".

Judging by the media presence, looks like he's having a medical at the Bridgewater right now.

How many times has the 'Jesus saves' joke been made now? I think that's three or four times in this thread alone.

Judging by Wiki (complete with an extract from source at Sevilla's official website) he's already signed;

Manchester City
On 3 June 2013, after speculation concerning Navas' future, Sevilla confirmed on its official website that he had agreed to join Premier League side Manchester City.[14]
^ "Jesús Navas se marcha al City: adiós a una trayectoria fabulosa de triunfos y registros" [Jesús Navas goes to City: goodbye to amazing run of wins and records] (in Spanish). Sevilla's official website. 3 June 2013. Retrieved 3 June 2013.

Done & dusted eh?


PS. No, I don't habitually wander about in Wiki, was just sat here bored waiting for a meeting to start so thought I'd check it out (sad huh?).
If we had De Gea and the rags had Hart, we'd be top with a 9 point lead and they'd be in 12th place - that's the difference between a 'good' keeper and a 'top class' keeper - 12 places - think about it.

Lord save us.
It's a lot of money for him. We should have paid 30 pieces of silver, that's about the same amount as his last transfer all those years ago.

Is it a signing that improves us considerably?

They reckon we never got close to paying that, that deal was packed with add ons and only 6 million was paid up front.

6 million still is excessive though...
