is wages the sticking point then keith or is it something else mate?

He has been offered €2.5million plus bonuses a season if he extend his deal with Inter to 2013 (last year he pocked €600,000 in bonuses), so us paying him £80K a-week would be ridiculous.

So he wants approx. £4M per year from City,but if he stays he could earn over £3.1M ?????
Can`t see the problem if we want him so much ??
For an extra £900K,we get a player who could help us into a Top 4 minimum.
Sorry Keith but surely there must be another sticking point.
Not doubting for one moment what your saying,but seems a little strange that we thought he would probably have cost more than the transfer fee involved,so surely we have saved some pennies there ??
Ah well, no doubt time will tell.

Ridiculous as in too much or not enough? We will be asking him to leave the current European champions and join a club who haven't even qualified for that competition. He's going to need a decent reason to do that whether we like it or not.

I like the cut of your jib. Been thinkin this for a few weeks now. Are you ITK, or just a hundred times worse than me for trawling foreign websites? No fish pun intended. ;)

Did i read this right, people are saying 4million a year is too much?

£4million = £83,000 a week

Yaya is on £180,000 - £225,000 (if you believe the papers)


Sounds like a bloody bargain to me!

Fuck me they would be denying about 50 things a day if that was the case.

He was on 50k at barca, he has doubled his wages. His agent even said he wasnt on much more than at barca after tax.
