I would never take as gospel, all of the weekly wages that have been bandied about, if he "wants" to come to City, he will be rewarded accordingly. I think the club will pay him what we believe he is worth, no doubt he will assist with sponsorship by being a main face of the organisation.
We have in the past, often done our business with players that sign up for the project, rather than look for the big pay days, just look at who we have rejected previously, when all they wanted was an insane salary.
