We offered £60m and let’s assume £200kpw package in the summer. 4 year deal? I’d assume we would have to pay agent fees of say £5m. That’s a around £105/110m ball park.
Now it’s £30m and £350k a week and say the agent now wants £10m. That’s about £110m
So no concernable different in the costs. Just the wages would possible upset some other members of the squad and the agent fees are now OTT.
The finances are therefore achievable given we offered a similar costing deal 5 months ago. It’s the morality of it and what it could possibly to the existing team spirit.
Fair play to us I say.
Also, if we signed him now we would have missed out on 1/2 a season of his supposed prime.
The older he gets the lower the package should be.
