AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Be intresting to know if the Arabs are paying the whack like Jack Walker or doing a Steve Gibson/Roman & just stacking the debt against the club. I'd be surprised if it wasn't cash up-front. Very surprised. Aye, I'd be surprised if City have anywhere near the assets to secure the amount of spending they will be doing.

Yes it will be cash up front but will the arabs be stacking it against City or will this deal be paid for & nothing passed onto the Man CIty books.

You think their owners would just allow these people to run up huge debts against the club with no gurantee that it would be their own investment or at least part their investment?

I'd even manage that would be covered, the chance to be involved in one of the biggest teams around, the Arabs won't leave till Citeh have achieved something, it would only be a problem if they proceeded to sign shite on high wages then left.

Guest timmy boy Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 If Kaka signs for City then that will be the end for Elano there. Wouldn't mind us going after him, obviously never going to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, the types of wages they are throwing around will mean whoever they sell too will have to be just as rich as these arabs are. £250,000k for one player?

Ash Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Manucho is in talks with Hull City. Must be a loan right? He looked a monster at ANC imo Not sure, just know he's in talks. My mate works at a hotel where all of the new/potential signings for Hull stay until they sort accommodation out for themselves. He's there at the minute with Kilbane and Finnan.

Decky Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I still dont think this will happen btw. Im sure he is content with his wages at Milan as it stands, consider this: Ac Milan compared to Man City as a club, history, stature etc Champions League football compared to no Europe at all, UEFA cup at very best. Ac Milan's squad compared to Man City's San Siro compared to City of Manchester Stadium Milan compared to Manchester Never happening, and in regards to the last point, im aware of Man Utd, but thats Man Utd, far more prestigious than City.

Dave Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I think it's just a stunt by City's new owners to try and convince the world they're serious. They're showing off. Won't surprise me one bit if it falls through due to some 'terms' not being agreed or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldnt have any trouble getting players like him off the wage bill. I disagree. You'd end up having a Leeds-Olivier Dacourt situation where the only way to get him off of the books would be by paying part of his salary. No club in teh world can afford that - especially if they are doing it with multiple players (which they will be doing). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It's a silly price for the player, and AC Milan would be silly to turn it down. I don't think it's the right move at the right time for Man City though. They're trying to run before they can walk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
