devilish's latest activity

    If he was able to repeat last year's form then I'd say that 140k-150k would be fair. It would put him at par with the likes of Gavi and Neves. At this stage I'd go for 80k-100k

    I has been fixated with salaries for quite some time, long before it became an issue. I never bought into the 'don't bother it's not your afterall' mantra and saw our wage structure spiraling out of control as proof that we're horribly run. I...

    Endrick is on 67k a week, Yildiz is on 47k a week, Konstantinos Tsimikas is on 75k a week and Cubarsi is on 67k a week. I think we can all agree that Mainoo is a better player than that. I'd say a 90k-120k a week should be good enough. It would...

    SAF used to say kids not to worry about money because that will come later on. That worked beautifully with the likes of Giggs and Scholes. Those two played during the most stable and successful period at the club and by the time they were on the...
  • devilish replied to the thread Van Der Sar and Schmeichel bumping into each other on the street (video).
    VDS was an amazing GK, the best GK we ever had post Schmeichel. However Pete was at another level. The guy had everything and while he lacked the crystalline natural talent of Buffon (whom I believe to be the best GK I've ever seen), no one was...
  • devilish replied to the thread Jadon Sancho - Chelsea (loan) watch | £5M opt-out fee.
    As explained it wasn't. There were clubs ready to pay a loan fee + take some of his salary. It would have been a league that suits his skillset and it wouldn't be a PR disaster as sending him to Chelsea (were they both shat on us) only for them...

    Which brings us back to square one. This was one hell of a shit deal
  • devilish replied to the thread Jadon Sancho - Chelsea (loan) watch | £5M opt-out fee.
    I doubt you know how an obligation or an option to buy clause work. There is no way such clauses are inserted in one's contract unless the player agrees to a contract before hand.
  • devilish replied to the thread Jadon Sancho - Chelsea (loan) watch | £5M opt-out fee.
    From what I can gather we agreed an 'obligation to buy' for 25m where we paid most of Sancho's salary (150k a week to be exact) and we agreed to a break clause of 5m. When you take everything into account its a worse deal than a straight loan...

    Most people find the break clause as too low. It's less then the average loan fee. You are one of the very few who disagree to that which I respect. The majority find it silly

    Sam from united people TV is criticizing it as well. He's one of the most reasonable people on YouTube

    Rhoades is the most pro INEOS guy on youtube. He's got inside information within the INEOS ranks, something he admits himself to have. The guy was insisting that the club was going to INEOS and revealing the details of the deal at a time when...

    What Phil Brown, Rhoades and myself are critical about is how low that break fee is. Rhoades in particular is the most pro INEOS person on youtube. He only criticized them once ie ETH contract renewal something (surprise surprise, SJR had...
  • devilish replied to the thread Jadon Sancho - Chelsea (loan) watch | £5M opt-out fee.
    You know that the 5m break clause is bad when even Rhoades of the muppeteers is criticizing it. The guy probably loves INEOS more then SJR himself.

    I have depression myself mate, something that usually comes as a package deal with HFA. It's evident that the issue here wasn't depression but a lack of professionalism, something Sancho's had been plagued with since his City days and which he...
