Just seen a YouTube video where he says he likes England.
Wonder if he’ll come back and follow his dad’s footsteps and play for us here and terrorise the rags for ending his dad’s career with that horrific challenge (:
I think we’ll get him next year if we want him.
His Dad played for them so maybe. But his Dad also played for us.I heard he is a Leeds fan...could be wrong though
The Tom Gatt “exclusive” says we’re really thinking about this kid, insinuating a move for him when his buyout kicks in.i think the idea that cause his dad played for us he will want to come to us in fanciful.
I also believe he is a Leeds fan - which means he aint going to Utd as well ;-)
I also think the chances are very low, but less because of Raiola and more that the relatively low buyout clause means that the wages on offer from competing clubs will be way more than we'd pay. We don't pay market wages for top targets anymore.As long as he is represented by Raiola there is 0% chance of him going us.
How so? He has a buyout clause next year. If we're willing to pay it and give him a wage to match we have as good a chance as any. I don't think we will but the opportunity is definitely there.We missed an opportunity, time to move on.
Well they’re performances based bonus wages so in the end you can make way more but some people might not like wages structured like this tbhI also think the chances are very low, but less because of Raiola and more that the relatively low buyout clause means that the wages on offer from competing clubs will be way more than we'd pay.

Lol what are you even on about?We missed an opportunity, time to move on.
When other clubs are offering the same to more money than we are, but in basic wages rather than incentives, that means we're under the market. It's not a value judgement, it's just a fact.Well they’re performances based bonus wages so in the end you can make way more but some people might not like wages structured like this tbh
Yeah true. Someone explained that a lot of the wickets are pretty easy to check off though to get nice bonuses. Like x amount of appearances, etc.When other clubs are offering the same to more money than we are but in basic wages rather than incentive that means we're under the market.

Lol what are you even on about?
He was available to Dortmund for €20 million because he was guaranteed to play and develop there. And also because another very lucrative move was guaranteed in 18 months because of the buyout that's in his deal.Was available for €20 million 6 months ago, and we didn't sign him !

Commissions received:didn’t Alife and mino both get paid €10m each?
