Thats th efirst I even heard we were in for him. I suspect there was no rejection on his part really.
 
Unfortunately every player that signs for someone else, the press say he's rejected us but often, its them who made up we were interested in the first place.......complete sh1t.
 
Signing Sagna made lots of sense before Evra signed up for another year, but Sagna, Evra, Shaw and Rafael would be overkill for a side who aren't in Europe.

I think it still makes a lot of sense unless we are to promote Varela to the first team. Rafael is a lock to miss a few games here and there if his injury history is any indication.
 
For 12m, i'm glad he "rejected" us. Fellaini and Young should have, too.
 
Why are English journos using euros in deals related to England and England only?

12 million euros over 3 years. 4 million euros per year.
 
£12 million over three years, surely?
Which would already be more than Carrick (according to Google anyway).

Ya sorry. 12mil net over 3yrs after tax. The tax is close to 50% right? So that'd still be 150k a week or have I got the tax wrong?
 
Isnt the 12mil after tax?

If he's married with kids, doesn't he pay around 27% tax in England? If so that'd put the expenditure around 100k. If he is single and has to pay at 57% that'd mean close to 160k a week.

I've no clue how the taxes work there mate :D
 
Alright Muppets, some of you may be unaware but the world cup is about to start.

There will be no deals done until AFTER the World Cup.Every transfer rumour between now and then is even more full of bullshit than usual.

So please muppets do not have a meltdown on July 1st or any other day.Our Manager and most of targets will still be at or just back from the world cup at that stage.

The time may come to have a meltdown but that won't be until September 2.If it comes to that I can tell you I will be leading the riot with a string of curses and abuse.

But for now please just enjoy the greatest footballing show on earth.
 
4m Euros a year really isn't that much considering he's joining City. Suggests ambition is probably just as much of a factor to be fair to him.
