Haha.... how's that breaking news? This has been the news for over 3 weeks now. Sigh.

 

[fps]

That's 67m pounds and this is what Sporting has been holding for all along.

Really dont understand our strategy. If we dont want to overpay,then fecking dont do it. After weeks of lowballing, you still end up paying the same amount. Laughable.

Classic Woodward.

67m
40
67
42 + £££ if he wins ballon d’or
67
50 + £££ if we qualify for champions league
67
Europa?
67
Done.

 

[beingshe7don]

Of course he’s dreadful. Any club with 370m to spend on Mbappe and Neymar could have closed the deal. I want the guy who found Kante, Vardy and Mahrez to become our DOF.

The director of football at RP Leipzig, Dortmund or Ajaz would be great.

You have to wonder what the hell they were negotiating. Same story in the summer window. Took up the whole month of Januray in this one deal and we don't even get a discount and still end up playing the full amount that they requested in the beginning. Waste of time

 

[bond19821982]

That's if he wins the PL, CL and Ballon D'or with us. Any of those three seem highly unlikely tbf.

Well no. 15 mil of that is in unlikely bonuses. So not the same. Some would argue that an extra week or two of back and forth is justified by that kind of saving. Nobody has enjoyed the whole saga less than me but I'm all for the notion of us not bending over for every chairman in Europe.

Cheers guys. Just read that breakup now. Essentially 50m pounds. Well played Ed.
I take my comments back

I may have made a mistake. Its 50m pounds guaranteed. Rest are like PL,CL and BoR bonuses in which case it will be worth anyway.

 

[strandty]

Wasn't personal terms the easy bit that had apparently been done weeks ago?

 

[entropy]

Oh boy. Here we go.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Oh boy. Here we go.

That's what I thought.

It's Jaime Jackson yo

Yep, im sure i posted it was agreed a few weeks back.

The heavies have weighed in on it now

Edit - may have made a mistake. Its 50m pounds guaranteed. Rest are like PL,CL and BoR bonuses in which case it will be worth anyway. Well played Ed.

Its £47m guarantee +£8.5m in likely add-ons +£8.5m in unlikely add-ons, roughly.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Finally.

 

[Tom Cato]

The heavies have weighed in on it now

I nearly threw up when I read that supposedly Barca is lurking. Now with both the Athletic and Tier1 journos chiming in, this looks like it could very well be happening.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

 

[Tom Cato]

"By Simon Stone" - This is gospel now. Welcome to Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes!

 

[NJM78]

So 65 million Euros then. Awesome.

 

[MsNuno]

 

[Lennon7]

Hahahaha just read up on today’s farce. We’re a forgotten joke

 

[Scorpy]

finally some good news

 

[bond19821982]

Its £47m guarantee +£8.5m in likely add-ons +£8.5m in unlikely add-ons, roughly.

Yes, cant complain about that. Any half decent player is 40m+ these days.

[theklr]

I WONDER WHY!

 

[LJJT]

Is this Rodrigo any good? Why don’t we buy him as well???

 

[Acole9]

He got back there quick after being at Carrington this morning.

 

[Infra-red]

In Duncan Castles' most recent podcast, he said that we had upped our offer from 50M + add-ons to 55M + add-ons and that the add-ons were now more realistic/achievable (eg qualifying for the CL, rather than winning it).

Looks like Castles got this right yesterday. 55M + achievable add-ons, appears to be the deal.

 

[Damien]

There's a reason Barca fans are celebrating in the replies to the Mundo Deportivo tweet.

 

[sp_107]

It's 47M + another 8M achievable add-ons and another 12M for unrealistic targets like winning ballondor.

 

[Zoo]

Barca now interested in Tadic

 

[Infra-red]

The numbers Castles gave were in Euros. The deal is being reported as 55M euros (£46.6m) plus achievable add-ons (including CL qualification). Precisely as reported by Castles yesterday afternoon. This is not a surprise - his association with Mendes is well known.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Barca now interested in Tadic

Barcelona are a bigger cluster feck than United except they have Messi.

 

[TheReligion]

He played last night and didn't seem to look like a player on the verge of leaving to me. No tears. No waving. It's not happening guys.

Bruno says Hiiiiiii

 

[Igor Drefljak]

So wait, after not agreeing a deal all winter, Barca become 'interested' and we just agree to the price

Yes, You are right.I thought you mentioned figures in GBP.
