3 years at 350k week is 54m plus 35m fee plus 15m signing on fee plus 10m agent fees is heading towards 120m for a 3 yr contract with limited saleable asset at the end (40m a year).
Kdb is costing us less than that over 5 years (and a saleable asset)
Sanchez may be the answer but cheap/bargain he aint.

If KDB was up for sale right now, he would be worth almost 200m and wages of almost 400k a week. That is the market right now, its crazy.

Didn't someone say £275k/week, before United got involved?
 
When you see the prices players are going for now it makes me very relived we have a fairly young squad.
This deal will fall though due to wages more than anything else imo.

It didn't happen last season because Real won the ECL Rags got a place in ECL 17/18 as champions of the Europa League, this didn't affect the PL qualifiers as the max allowed from any association is 5

However if a PL club wins the ECL and a PL club wins the Europa an one of those is outside the top 4 then the fourth place club would miss out on ECL for 18/19 and qualify for Europa along with the FAC winners max of 7 from an association

No.

1. City wins CL
2. Liverpool
3. Chelsea
4. Spurs

5. United.
6. Arsenal wins EL

Spurs do not miss out. We still only have 5 teams in the CL.

I’m shaking my head at this forum right now.

I think the point he's making is that while Mbappe might look like a silly deal now, he'll probably look like a great deal in 10 years. See Rooney/Ferdinand.

Imo the ones who will look like good deals, financially are Sané, Gabriel Jesus etc. They were signed for less than the previous rate for 'top' players.

If they had cost 100 mil each, that would not be the case. 150 mil would be a joke.
 
The thing that annoys me about agents is when you remember most of them have more than one high profile player they work for, which makes the greed they show during every transfer even more annoying. Who is Sanchez's agent again, do we know how many players he represents? It would be interesting to see how many deals he's pushed through in recent times.

We will see in a couple of seasons time how good the Mbappe deal this summer looks to other deals. Players nowhere near as good as him will be going for around the same money, mark my words. The value in the market is just obscene altogether.

True but that just makes those deals terrible rather than his deal being good.

Sanchez at 350k pw would be an example of that.

Maybe he thinks we'll not win another league game this season but still win the CL and finish fifth. Could get decent odds for that.

It's fear of loss, I said this when we were linked with the lad. There are got to have players every year that go for a lot more than they're worth because clubs are afraid to be seen as having lost out. People call Mbappe a once in a generation talent, but nobody called Kane that and he would have been a lot cheaper at 18.

They're glorified recruiters. Recruiters take a payment from the company when they find an employee for them to hire. It isn't much different. The amounts are obviously vastly inflated because there is only one/very few Alexis Sanchez types in the world, but thousands of Gary the Accountants.

So it is no surprise, nor different to every day life. It is the size of the payments which are ridiculous.

Fans perception that football isn't a business doesn't help and hence it becomes easy to resent someone for making money out of a deal and that money doesn't stay within the game.

It will not change until there is blanket regulation, but don't expect that any time soon. As long as the law makers continue to make money, why would they.
Taking a stance to not pay it is admirable, but flawed on our own as it is a broken system.

Yeah without a doubt. I feel that United really did put a nail in the coffin of the value of the market with the Pogba transfer, especially considering what his agent earned. That is what kickstarted the crazy spending and set the ball rolling for the 197m Neymar transfer to PSG.

City haven't followed suit no matter how much shit the media spout. The market is completely broken now and I just feel as though we need to jump on board now. Things will only get worse from here so we might as well join the club.

The market is completely broken now, I can only see it getting worse from now on. When average players like Danny Drinkwater are going for nearly 40m, you know football has gone completely bonkers. We may as well jump on board and as I have mentioned before, give it 5 seasons tops and you will see a player earning 1m a week. Its definitely getting to that stage.

Fully agree. I think in this cut-throat multi-billion dollar business of football, taking moral high grounds on money is hilarious. Hopefully, our management isn't generally reluctant to use their financial power in ways other clubs do in future transfers.

There will be a kid somewhere at 20 mil, right now, who is a far better deal than Sanchez.
 
Is it over as far as we are concerned? My mind still cant accept that sanchez will sign for united, not because we were after him but the fact that city offer a genuine chance of trophies and have better players.
