So the real story is they’ve got a 27 year old player that no one wants with 3 1/2 years of £300k per week or £54.6m in contracted wages due which he could pick up training with the kids.

When you consider the Sancho loan they should know they don’t hold the cards.

Yeah he will end up at Everton or Villa on a subsidised loan, then from summer a loan with obligation to buy. No one buys him and pays full wages.

Or maybe my newest acquisition, an Edward I penny circa 1280 ish :)

You can't buy anything for a penny these days. Used to able to get 4 blackjacks and four fruit salads.

Why would anyone pay money for him? His stock is low & he’s not worth £300k per week. If another club was willing to pay him £100k per week then he’d be short by £36m over the term of his contract. Either the buying club would make that up in wages or the Rags would have to pay him up but he ain’t giving up £36m.

Like when we signed Fowler, it could be similar. He wouldn't get paid up, they just carry on paying the difference for the length of the previous contract then wages fall.

Who cares about money? We shouldnt. Its so off the scale per day even we cant fathom it as normal working people. Arguing about who is worth 200 or 300k a month. Our bosses are probably on somewhere in the £50-£100k a year bracket. Its all a joke. The goalkeeper for Swansea City is probably on £20k a month and name him if you can

I nearly choked to death on one of those when I was a nipper.

The BBC have shielded predatory nonces for years. Hugh Edwards, Jimmy Saville. Why is anyone surprised by there levels of hatred to City in a rag infested employer at Salford Quays?

I treat them how I treat all media outlets. Smile, laugh at them. There hatred never wins with me.

I would imagine whoever is representing him would say if he stays he earns £54m & it costs them that even if he doesn’t play. Surely he deserves a percentage of that to leave.
