On the 31st July he tweeted:
It must be set on the unfortunate problem with Bafe (Gomis) that it boils down to a problem of money. “We are in agreement with Newcastle…
However that part was mysteriously removed. What remains on there now is this (once again with my rusty translation):
“Then it is Pierrot (Pierre Frelot – Gomis’s agant) who stopped Newcastle since the transfer is 8m euros? This would be the commission of the agent? Do you know this also?”
The French media have also been providing a rather different narrative more along these lines too. However, Aula’s how now made things slightly less cryptic with a further statement today which reads:
“We have accepted the proposal of Newcastle, which is €8m, plus €2m. The agreement is now linked to the acceptance of agents’ fees. I understand that the problem is in the amount and manner of payment of commissions.
“There are several people involved in the operation, which complicates the negotiations. But I am hopeful that things will be resolved within 24 or 48 hours.”
It’s not over yet though. As I mentioned, it has actually been several days since the sides reached an agreement over fees yet things are still in limbo, even so, we should know one way or the other over the next few days.

I am holding my breath on this one. I have lost all faith in the media and there fairy tale bullsh*t.
