Players wages affecting transfers

[dctid]

Do other clubs take that approach with us DCTID? do they balls they will try and fleece us for every penny they can. Sunderland will have a pay structure and will know whether or not they can afford AJ in the first place and if AJ was willing to put his career before money as it has been constantly reported then he would have taken a pay cut. The fact Fletcher went for more than AJ is bad business which ever way people try to dress it up.

I doubt Fletcher was earning anything near the 80K a week and doubt he will be earining anything near 80K at his new club

If we as a club are preared to pay superstar wages for a good solid yet squad player then the problems are of our own making - Scott Sinclair wont be on more than 10K a week at SWansea and AJ is NOT 8 yimes better than SS

I have posted several times i would have kept AJ BUT once the club decided they wanted to sell him then they have to get the best deal they can - the alternative is too keep an unhappy player and let him run his contract down and go for next too fuck all

We played hard ball over Tevez because we did not get a deal we though acceptable - we got a deal for AJ we deemed to be acceotable and in view of his replacement probably being on less than 50% of what AJ was and we sold AJ for more than we bought him for then it probably explains the transfer fee

the lad seems unable to add to his game, is no better than when he came.
it's pointless comparing transfer fees as the actual details are rarely in the public domain, for various reasons.

Why did Ade go for 5m? When for me he's a 20m player?

Because no club was prepared to pay £20m for him and if no-one buys him he stays at our club picking up his wages.

And then City just paid most if not all of Ade's wages in advance + discount price for just to get rid of him. ;)

I think it's due to him taking a pay cut fro 170k to 100k a week, he insisted on a 5mill signing on fee from spurs. City wanted rid, so they must've thought it was in the clubs interest to sell for 5mill and save 170k a week for the next 3years.

City didn't want rid?? Of course we did.

We would of used him if he stayed though, As Mancini said if AJ wanted to stay and fight he could of. Put it this way do you think City tried to force AJ out?

AJ was the one who wanted out. Someone came calling with 15m, so we went like, "Why the hell not?" It's simple as that.

They say it was a £4m sign on fee paid by Spurs to be exact..But as we had a £4m loan fee from spurs the previous season you could argue that in toto we got £9m for him I guess.

How does the loan fee work then? If spurs paid us 4mill fee, do we still pay his wages or do they?

Spurs paid Adebayor a £4m signing on fee, in return for getting Adebayor dirt cheap, we get his wages of the books..
