That fee tells me Ake is getting done.

ya I guess it will be around the same fees 45m+ hoepfully even if he does more years on him

 

[Rammy Blue]

The flat £47.5mil sounds like it’s been leaked so can assume it’s probably correct.

Good enough for me.

absolutely gutted. never felt like this about a player leaving. gonna miss him very much

Looks like 47.5m

Although I imagine they’ll be paying millions more over the duration of the contract in wages than Arsenal will for Jesus.

It's probably almost exactly what we paid for him. 44m + 5m in add ons, but one of those add ons was winning the Champions League, wasn't it?

Edit: scratch that. https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...hester-city-transfers-raheem-sterling-9658097

According to this article from 2015, we paid 44m guaranteed for Raz, with another 2m if he started 120 games in the PL and CL (done). And a maximum of 3m for team success in the PL (1m each) and CL (1.5m each).

So we ended up paying the full 49m for him.

Yeah, Sergio, Vincent, Yaya, David etc are still here.

Hope you can get some sleep tonight.

Don't care about the fee. Between sterling and ake if we get 100M ,it's a good deal

Contradiction?

Nothing on when Shauny Wright left for Chelsea. That’s true heartbreak

Is there any need to be a knob to the guy?
