Can't see Dan James getting many starts now. He'll be offski soon, you watch.

Not really a gamble. The commercial impact of him signing will go a long way to offsetting their outlay.

If the price of £12.8m is to be believed then I would call this a no-brainer.

The price is no big deal, but if you search online, he's quoted as earning anything from £25m to more than £30m a year in wages at Juventus. I doubt he's going to accept a pay cut to join them, so he could cost them over £43m this season. They could surely have addressed a bigger weakness in the team with that kind of money.

You're probably right about it being a no-brainer though, even at those kind of figures. You mention commercial impact, then there's the boost he'll bring to the players and fans, plus the importance (from a symbolic and football point of view) of stopping
him going to City.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of an old fella like this being contracted for so much wonga. Seems silly to me.

Manure showing signs of desperation with this signing...I know they're a massive club but €28m and huge weekly wages, pure desperation, my opinion anyway.

Same for Messi and PSG?

I don't think money is much of an issue. Talk of £480,000 a week, after tax...

How much?!!!!!

 

[Allergic2Hoof]

Million bucks a week. Not bad.

In wages? Can't see that, where did you get that figure from?

Probably right about Dan, but Ronaldo won't be taking his place, he plays where he wants floats all over the front line and pops up in various positions, very intelligent and skill full player.

Its looking like the both Manc Clubs and Chelsea are spending and spending to buy championships and trophies, top level football has long since become a circus and is only gonna get worse.

Heard the same as jackjack above. 50millon a year works out at about 480k a week after deductions in the UK. Given the relatively low fee, the merchandise income which will be huge and the likes of man City and psg throwing crazy bucks at other players in a not too far off ballpark, and a shortish 2 or 3 year exposure in the contract I can fully believe it.

Absoposalutey, you’re right there. Definitely one to give a miss to. Wouldn’t want to watch them. No siree.

Same for Messi and PSG?

PSG would win their league without Messi at a canter with or without Messi presumably. With Ronaldo they're hoping he'll be good enough to win the PL for them, which without him they ain't got a hope...the monies thrown at these footballers is laughable, around £500k a week What about FFP, do clubs adhere to this nowadays? I'm presuming the powers that be keep a close eye 👁???

They didn’t win the league last year.

Ronaldo is an EU immigrant so the Brexit people will be furious when they voted to stop these immigrants coming over here and said they were taking peoples jobs
