where do you get the info regrads the signing on fee? and how do you know what wages he's getting?
His imagination.
It would be nice to know though, I have to say. People can scoff at the figures being quoted, as no-one would appear to know, but let's not pretend he's on peanuts and that a signing on fee wouldn't have been generous. Although the opposite is quite possible, it's highly doubtful. That's the problem with buying Chelsea's cast offs, they're used to high wages.
By the way, Iam in no way agreeing with the figures quoted by terry.
you can if you like :winking:
as if he ain't on massive wages. he was clearly swung our way by something.. hmmm what could that be that made owen wanna join on 100k a week or parker on 60k a week or luque on 50k a week dyer 70k a week bluelaugh.gif
that spurs itk who broke the news on him coming here before any papers even had a wiff of it, said that spurs told duff and his advisors to **** off when he asked for a massive , in region of 3-4 mill signing on fee because, he could hold out for that in 12 months time when contract had run out.
now you can all say yeh right corse he did blah balh...but i followed that story and that itk had it bang on before anyone north of watford even got wind of us being in the race.
I thought ten million would have been a decent signing but for 5m we have more than made up for that little extra he wanted in wages. Any spurs fan who is under the illusion that Duff's move was a financial decsion needs to watch the press conference again. The man made up his mind long before money was on the agenda.
If Spurs fail to compete fiancially with us then that is their too bad. Duff is our player and we are delighted at the price we got him for.
