Its 200 plus 50 in bonuses actually.

Probably because most clubs wouldn't have been stupid enough to pay that kind of wage in the first place, especially knowing he was keen to leave at the time. As for Pogba, I doubt his injury bill will have eclipsed what we paid for him.
What suggests Murtough is much better than the other clown?
Don't know if this is legitimate but he was according to a few sources I have read - he was offered 120k a week at Chelsea and a 7 year deal - now that is a truly shocking bad deal for a footballer of his quality. No wonder he turned them down
I can guarantee that £5m includes a lot of clauses if its legitimate...maybe we are paying half up front

Well, then. Not sure why you bothered replying.
So much bullshit gets spread on here, some of it needs to be called out.
It's fine if you don't like the signing, but don't feed into the narrative the club are shite at signing anyone by using made up numbers.
Even half would be too much, this is an obvious bullshit rumour.
He verbally agreed a contract and then they pulled it and offered him a 1 year extension. I think they eventually got back close to the original offer but the damage had been done by then.

"Afterwards I became important for the team... and a good player costs at least 50 million euros. The club knows that they went wrong there."
Fair enough, maybe I should have noticed that, my bad
They also offered him a 200k extension till 2025.Yeah cause they only offered him a 1 year deal. Pretty much any player would consider that unsatisfactory

I backed it up with a source. If you think The Evening Standard is bs, that's up to you, but it's not on me.
Because going from 80k to 250k basic is totally fine? Oh yeah, you've done me there
Oh and if other clubs wanted to offer him that, that's up to them, but doesn't mean we should, certainly when we have other pressing needs.
You're still going with that 250 number.Because going from 80k to 250k basic is totally fine? Oh yeah, you've done me there

The ES is the definition of BS.
It's like signing Neil Webb all over again.
Don't be knocking Neil Webb, was my first favourite player
What? When we had Incey ruling the roost in midfield at that time?
After the damage was already done … you seem to be ignoring some pretty important context here.
Why? We paid close to 10m for Hannibal (bonuses included)
Maybe the best english midfielder in the late 80s, until that injury destroyed him. His stats with Forest were insane for a central midfielder during that period. Without taking set-pieces, he scored 41 league goals in his first 3 seasons for Forest in the league. Think only Lampard later has more goals pr game from open play as a central midfielder than Webb had at Forest
Hannibal was wanted by half the topclubs in Europe, I doubt a goalkeeper in Japan attracts that much interest
Must be a strange situation for Reddy, going from laughing at United's failures to becoming our Sky mouthpiece.
Of course, that's why he costed double that at 16, £5m isn't a great deal of cash if we rate him enough. We drop close to a million on youth players all the time and as you say, if it's made up of bonuses, we're not paying a lot at all.
Five million is ridiculous considering the J-League transfer record is £4.5m paid by Celtic for Kyogo Furuhashi. There is probably numerous clauses and any up-front fee is a fraction of the £5m figure, assuming the story is true.
Source (Tier 1):
Please no Italian clubs for Mctominay, they will be looking for a loan with an option to pay in espresso refills next year
This is accurate
This will be the summer of 55
Looks like we've indeed agreed terms with André Onana.
Jamie Jackson has an article out with some stuff. Can't post it right now.
Is this about Maguire's situation, or is it something new?
