£100m transfer fee and £200,000 a week.

Bloody mad.

Some sources are claiming £175m transfer fee and £500,000 per week.

Completely insane - a total obscenity! What a crazy world we live in.

Frankly, this sort of thing should not be allowed. £108m for a transfer fee is way beyond the realms of acceptable.

£500,000 a week. A WEEK.

 

Most people won't see that in their lifetime.

If this deal goes ahead then football has had it, this deal is an insult to the hard working fan that spends all they have on tickets etc Monay has ruined the game and I hope lots of clubs go bust when these money men get bored.

TBF he's gonna lose a lot of that in tax so it's not that obscene really.

Exactly, it simply ridiculous. I've heard reports that it could be as high as £110m with over £500,000 a week in wages? Why?....to kick a little ball around a field about once a week. With everything going on in the world at the moment with economic hardship, starving children in Africa, men working in sweatshops 12 hours a day for Primark etc. it makes you wonder how these big names in football (the players, managers, owners etc.) manage to sleep at night.

 

I would absolutely love to see Saints get taken over to ensure our long term survival but I'd hate it to be on the scale on a Man City or Chelsea takeover. I would absolutely love to see them go bust in about 5 years time.

There is not a person on this board who would turn down £500,000 to kick a ball around. Get over yourself, its not the footballers fault.

I for one wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing I'm being paid that much money for something that in the big scheme of things is totally irrelevent to the world.

 

I'm not saying I wouldn't love to be paid that much (of course I would!),but if I was I'd like to think I was at least contributing something valuable to the world. Professional football on the whole has grown to be completely ridiculous. It should never have got to the stage where some people actully think these sort of wages are acceptable.

Rubbish. You would absolutely love it. If it bothered you that much you could give it most of it to charity anyway.

why would have football "had it"

 

there are a very few players in the world that would command such a fee just to allow their clubs to accept..

 

how much would it take clubs to think about parting with these players..

 

 

ronaldo

gerrard

messi

and of course kaka

 

it would take £100m for each of those players..but the fact that man c are doing it seems to **** off alot of fans...

 

people are saying they are throwing cash around..well, I dont think so..bridge fee was fairly reasonable...they are going toe to toe with spurs for bellamy...just that kaka is a one off...

 

I would love it if he came to this country

 

people have been saying clubs would be in trouble when the money men get bored..i see that is getting thrown at chelsea right now...whilst they are 3rd in the league, still in the FA cup, QF of the champions league....not bad if that is a crisis...

 

am still waiting for SISU to go tits up at cov (like the people said would happen on here soon enough)

The daft thing about the money involved is that every player in the country will be looking for a pay rise.

 

If Kaka's deemed to be worth £500K a week, then Ronaldo, Drogba, etc. etc. at the top of the Premiership will up the ante.

 

Then the lower order in the Premiership will up the ante. Then the top flight players in the CCC will do the same.

 

You get my drift...........

 

Ultimately it will mean the death of lower order League clubs because many of them are already struggling to pay players at current levels.

I just don't get where they get the figure for the transfer fee from.

 

There is no way of Man City getting any of that money back.

 

Plus now AC have £100m plus to spend we may lose some of our players to them like Bradley and that Forecast fella

I think the owner is buying him out of his own pocket, so to speak :smt102

why does this transfer mean the death....why not when man utd threw around (and still do) cash like confetti on wages...what about when chelsea hit the scene....

 

I believe this is a one off..and very few players in the world would command such money....

 

if man city were throwing money around..why not just bid £30m for bellamy....and £30m for scott parker..?

 

they are being sort of sensible in their position...to get a kaka/ronaldo/messi...the sums of money being talked about would be the case for any team wanting them...

I'd like to see Man City splash out £20-£25M on some British-based players, hopefully some form of multiplier would form and it'd trickle down throughout the entire league pyramid. Such a thing is possible, but not if Citeh spunk it all abroad instead.

You just know that he'll get injured in the first couple of weeks, how patient will the fans be when a player has a long term injury and is picking up £500k a week? It's just ridiculous IMHO.

Gloucestershire Echo tonight says s he's not sure of full time commitment to coming to England,so he will be on loan to Cheltenham Town until the end of season as a sort of trial.

Sorry,just seen the stop press: rival bid from Forest Green Rovers announced.

Also, apparently he makes huge donations to various charities from his wages at AC Milan, who, if he stays for the full length of his contract will be paying him $1Million a month!!!

i read this...he pays massive amounts to his local community in brazil on a very regular basis..

Robhino has walked out and left Man Citys training camp in Tenerife,and flown back to Brazil.

 

Not happy that some of the big name players, that were promised when he signed,are not so eager to join the City revolution?

I'd do more than kick a ball around for £500,000 a week.
