It's quiet 10, no apologies! (continued)

Are Inter or Milan offering NDJ more wages than we are offering do you know?

I doubt it given how stingy they are and how they are trying to reduce their wage bill. What are tax laws like in Italy, do they pay as much as footballers here do? De Jong is being a bit arrogant to think he will get bigger wages elsewhere unless he wants to go into the wilderness, somewhere like Anzhi or the Middle East.

Sorry if posted, didn't trawl through all the pages:

From Gazzetta:

- Raiola was in Sweden with Leonardo, the PSG Director of Football, talking to Ibra personally
- It's obvious that Zlatan is the one stalling the deal, Thiago Silva has accepted to go for the conditions drawn up 1 month ago
- Milan accepted the offer of 62M € andwill save 108M € in wages for the two, if sold.
- Milan already meeting with agents of possible replacements like Destro and keep an eye on tevez and Dzeko
- Today, just before 13, Raiola flew from Sweden with destination Paris

However it goes, it's certainly dramatic...

interesting and potential partnership, Aguero said Van Persie is the best striker after Messi in #asksergio.

De Jong might only get 80k a week in new contract but he will get a fair chunk of a 15m transfer fee !

We were prepared to spunk money on Hazard because he was available at that time. We are now moving on to other targets. You can't say we didn't spend 30m on Hazard so a week later we spend 30m on someone else.

I don't think we are "fooked" on the FFP front. PSG are making a mockery of it so UEFA can fuck off.

What we are doing is smart. I think we have signings in the pipeline but they are being held up because players are on holiday or their club can't get a replacement in so we are using this time we have to clear the deadwood.

I can't imagine Mancini being told he cannot do anything until players leave. He want's them gone regardless and it is just happening before we sign anyone.

Is it smart - i honestly dont know and i suspect you dont

T Silva - seems to me PSG are crawling all over him
Hazard - We all know that one
RvP - Yup its Le Arse so will take time
Martinez - Wants Barca but Bayern have made enquiries

At some point we are going to have to move for players - some of these players we want out may not go until late in the window maybe the end of it -

What will be will be - i honestly dont think we are going to buy more than 3 players i just ifnd it bizzare that pepople have the impression we are in a position where we can pick and choose - Barca and maybe RM is possibly the only team(s) that can do that that.

So Ibra and Silva to PSG, generates the funds for Milan to buy Tevez and Dzeko, Kolorov out as well, with ade money maybe Guidetti Weiss money around 100m.

If Kolo stays he can cover right back, did well there last year allowing Zab to cover left back. Still say we are in for De Rossi or Martinez to cover that defensive position and defensive midfield in case NDJ goes.If he doesn't go this year he will next so having one of those two or both in place this year already sorts out that position. RVP is the striker coming in with say someone like Sahin.

Out
Ade
Bridge
RSC
Dzeko
Kolorov
Tevez

In RVP
Martinez and or
De Rossi
If only one of either Martinez or De Rossi either a left back or some other type of creative attack midfield
Sahin (maybe or someone like him)

Numbers

22m for RVP
Martinez 32m
De Rossi 20m
Sahin 26m


A nice round 100m. And a perfect squad for champs league etc. Only three strikers so plenty of opportunity for Guidetti if he stays as forth striker.

Chances of this happening 5/10.

Mr Ronaldo or Mr Rooney I get from that video

Id understand if the song was called "too bald to see it"..

 

[oakiecokie]

Doubtful, £100k a week is a hell of a lot of money for a normal club, especially for a holding midfielder, and I can't see him going to a Chelsea or Madrid.

But a defender like TS could get £180K+ ??

Thiago Silva is on of the most sought after defenders in Europe so yes, how many top clubs would be interested in De Jong? Could you see Barca, Madrid, Inter etc trying to sign him?

My point was that its immaterial what position a player plays,as to his salary worth.

 

[Mad 4 It]

Tolmie, have you any news on Weiss, MJ, Boyata and Savic. As they say every little helps... with FFP

Weiss will be sold and I expect MJ to see out a very lucrative contract, like Boyata, getting loan moves next season again.

Savic going out could depend on Kolo's next decision IMO.

Thanks for the update

The real chances are 0/10 if you think de rossi is £20m
