Alexis Sanchez | Done deal

[Moiraine]

Someone went on to do the mathematics and came up with this break down

 

[DWelbz19]

£14m after tax? I [somehow!] can't believe that to be true. That's like £500k+ a week before tax.

 

[Ubik]

£180m

 

[Summit]

Mourinho back at Lowry Hotel, we aren't going to hear anything tonight either

Why does José need to be there to announce?

 

[minoo-utd]

So tomorrow then?

 

[Moonred]

These cnuts would be workless without United.

 

[SuperiorXI]

Why does José need to be there to announce?

He doesn't.

Just testing the water before we offer Ronaldo that to come back.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

£180m

...Over 4 years. Pretty good deal.

 

[kirk buttercup]

Mourinho back at Lowry Hotel, we aren't going to hear anything tonight either

That's shocking, why doesn't he just rent a house ? Jose Partridge

Does anyone think Everton signing Walcott will affect the Sanchez transfer?

 

[RedDevil@84]

"The 29 year-old will be paid £14m a year after tax - just under £27m a year before tax - to join United, on top of his £30m valuation, £20m signing-on fee, and an agents’ fee worth more than £10m. That all adds up to around £180m"

And the worst part is that everyone wants the amount in hard cash.

Standby as we will be showing live pictures of trucks loaded with cash arriving at Carrington.

No because they're getting Mkhi

 

[syrian_scholes]

Does anyone think Everton signing Walcott will affect the Sanchez transfer?

Why would it? it's been in the works since before the Sanchez deal was even rumored.

 

[shabadu84]

In a few months, the Telegraph will have a throwaway mention of it being £269k before tax and no one will ever notice

 

[FreakyJim]

For a swap deal with no cash involved, we somehow managed to set a world record transfer fee! That's impressive!

 

[Utd7]

feck RAIOLA

Ahh he works for Sky? FAKE NEWS!

Alexis is ours

 

[VanTastic_]

Can he be registered in the CL squad ?

There's a mistake there, that's not the right contract at all.

What they've reported is the deal for his dogs private chef.

 

[Spirit of Solskjaer]

Adding his valuation of £30m, which we're not paying given it's a swap deal, to the cost of the transfer

At least the press is creative, I'll give them that.

 

[Jeffthered]

We will have to offload some players to offset that bill. Mata, Miki.. Fellani. That should balance the books (wage wise anyway...).

 

[SER19]

When did we start adding the cost of his wages for the duration of his contract to the cost

He might not even stay that long, just piss off you sad bored cnuts

 

[Hans Moleman]

We are. Mkhitaryan and Zlatan.

Ungentlemanly Conduct
Satan, fresh from overseeing Alexis Sanchez' transfer from football purists Arsenal to sleazy old United, revealed his reasons for stepping in.

"The handshake with Pep and the Holy City was the last straw - I just couldn't stand by and watch Sanchez's evil potential go to waste, so I whispered in his ear about the Red Devils."

Money-grabbing Bastid
The Chilean international - who won't be going to the World Cup (ha ha) - is set to earn a massive £1sqillion-billion an hour before tax while decent folks are reduced to renting crisps from foodbanks. "F*ck everyone else - I'm rich!" the filthy foreigner screamed at starving children in Africa and also Asda.

 

[Antisocial]

"The 29 year-old will be paid £14m a year after tax - just under £27m a year before tax - to join United, on top of his £30m valuation, £20m signing-on fee, and an agents’ fee worth more than £10m. That all adds up to around £180m"

I believe every word of this

 

[onemanarmy]

We are. Mkhitaryan and Zlatan.

Also Carrick. And I can see one of Blind, Darmian.. also leaving in the summer.

 

[bosnian_red]

£14m after tax? I [somehow!] can't believe that to be true. That's like £500k+ a week before tax.

Yeah there's no way. He's currently on 160k or so, and all the reports say around 14m per year which is around 270k a week. Unless everyone's reported salaries are after tax and everyone actually earns pretty much double what most people think they earn (obviously not) then that's wrong. He's not going from 160k a week to 500k a week

This happens every time. Someone leaks that it's after tax and then when it's actually announced they just have a throwaway sentence in the article that it's before tax like normal, but the "outrage" is already out. So yeah. No chance that's after tax wage.

 

[Member 90678]

So our club is being hung out to dry!
1 billion on pogba, 1 gazillion on wages for ibra and now 1 squintillion on Sanchez, you just could not make it up!

 

[Sammythesquib]

That’s not entirely accurate. Part of his salary (probably between 20-30%) will be paid to a mixture of onshore / offshore image rights companies. Onshore will be taxed at 19%, offshore (depending where located) at anything from 0-5%. No doubt United will also use up all available pensions allowances etc too. The net deal figures arent always as simple as dividing salary by tax.

 

[Hojoon]

That Telegraph article

 

[TheSandman]

Lingards taking over the MANUTD official insta tomorrow, get ready for some big announcements? Jose also commented on it with a simple " "

 

[Nick7]

I pity anyone that actually thinks we're paying him that much after tax.

 

[horsechoker]

"My name is Alexis and I wanna play for Manchester United, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"

 

[McGrathsipan]

I want him in before the Spurs match. Can't see Jose disagreeing with me.

Well I want him in for Saturday but I don't think he will be integrated into the squad in time for that now. Come on as sub maybe. Yeovil I'm not so fussed about.

I want him. Just not getting involved in the wetting of knickers until I see him in the shirt on the club website

 

[acrebo]

Amazing that Chelsea’s mouthpiece is claiming a £520k per week wage.... wonder where he got the info from.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

The chap on SSN also said just now it's a swap deal but then quoted the £180m value of the deal and actually mentioned the £30m transfer fee, and some mystery £20m signing on fee.

The Van Dijk deal wasn't broken down in the same way. Funny that.

 

[Ødegaard]

Adding his valuation of £30m, which we're not paying given it's a swap deal, to the cost of the transfer

At least the press is creative, I'll give them that.

They should be jailed for spouting as much shit as they are.
Can't believe these idiots are getting paid for lying through their teeth.

 

[beedoubleyou]

These cnuts in the press weren't so keen on pushing Carlos Tevez's wages, were they?

 

[Maajid]

Let's leave "the press is against us" conspiracies to the red half of Merseyside, shall we?
