David Silva signs new 5 year contract {merged}

[adammck]

FUCK YES. Best signing of the last four months.

Carry on

I shouldn't think Ladyman has the faintest idea.

Well it's also in The Guardian and apparently Soriano said in his book this is the exact way he believes contracts should be drawn (incentive based).

Great news. This contract model sounds good to me. Player theoretically pushes themselves (not that that should be an issue to begin with), club wins and fans win.

Aguero next please. :)

Superb news. Having one of those "pinch me I support Man City" moments.

There is no chance Aguero will sign a new deal, his wife hates the Manchester weather.

And he doesn't think the local golf courses are up to much either

Yes I heard that too. I think Ladyman might have mentioned it.

Ladyman says £120,000/week basic with performance-based incentives shooting it up to the £200,000/week bracket. I think this is the Soriano effect, he has a creative way of doing contracts and used it to get Messi to re-sign at Barca when others offered more.

I read that too, does that affect FFP at all ?

It will in that part of the wage increase will only apply if City are doing well and winning things in which case income is likely to increase.

Signing a new contract means that the amortization will reduce dramatically as the residual value of his original contract can now be spread over five years rather then two(?) years.

Sergio is on close to 200k already and has potentially ruled out a move to Real in loyalty to Atletico.

Sergio would have to drop his wages if he wanted to move anywhere.

Get in. This is brilliant.

He knows what we want to achieve and he wants a slice of the pie! What a legend! Absolutely buzzing, love the guy! haha

If ture, it is amazing how many say Messi will be Barca for life. Barcelona had to break the bank to keep him at the club.

This man is seriously testing my heterosexuality
