But we paid his wages last year as well ? the £4m is already wiped out. No matter how you dress up the saving, the club is paying for a player to be at club that couldnt afford him.
And? What's your point? I was pointing out Spurs have paid £14m in total.
And we did not pay his full wages last season at all.
We have just received £5m for a player that was not part of our plans and was costing us £9m per year. Two years left on the deal. We are now £23m better off over the next 2 years than we were this morning.
I'm happy about that and luckily Hughes is no longer here to make these deals again.
You do realise how you come accross in replying to message's dont you ? you always seem to be telling someone they are wrong, and being a bit David Brent about it...
Yes they got £4million in a loan fee, but to add that to this is pointless isnt it. That fee was easily swallowed up last season paying our portion of his wage. I never once said we paid the full ammount, but we did pay a huge portion of it clearly. I have no idea where that came from ? but if we paid hal as was suggested in the press that's us £100k down on the year.
If, as suggested we are paying £80k a week towards his wages, then the savings you posted are way off ?
80k per week, £4.16m a year x2 = £8.3m/ £23m- £8.3 = £14.7m
The saving is onlny nominal anyway if you consider that we will replace that wage, so its not a saving it's just being moved on to another incoming player... so after all of that we still sold a top quality player for £5m...
we for cetain wont be going to napoli pointing out that they will save £5million a year, times that by three =£15 so if we give you £15m for Cavani you actually have £30m... will they ?
