Man City

I'm in bits.

“By your estimates KDB will cost city £67m in wages over five years plus the £55m or so you paid for him, which is £120m(ish)”

It won’t though as his transfer fee is now spread out over a far longer period, that’s part of the driver to get players on new contracts - it reduces the yearly cost considerably.

KDB is a class act on and off the pitch. Sanchy has shown he's just a merc.

He’s not getting it Melton.

Wagechester united won’t be held to ransom by overpaying wages and transfer fees fergie said so.

I think the Sanchez signing does show their intent. They are going all out for the FA cup this season

I am, Loz, it’s a different measure and that’s fine. My point wasn’t confrontational, it was just that you’re not looking at mega differences in the cost of ownership (if you want to call it that) between Sanchez and other top players.

Wasn’t being aggressive mate but some united fans seem to forget we have reduced wages overall and signed our highest earners on new contracts with lower wages but better bonuses.

I agree with that post, though you are always looking at a fastly declining asset at that age. That’s still fine though.

We’ll get £3m off Besiktas for him
