KaKa Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I wouldn't go that far like. Well, well, well. It's looking good! Hope we can bring this thing home now. The great thing about this, should we pull this off, is the fact that the outlay for this will only be £800,000! So it should hopefully allow us to spend a bit more money in other areas. Well at least one central midfield destroyer with legs! Please God! Maybe a bit too optimistic I know ... but I remain hopeful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Why? Why not? He's fully match-fit as well so might even start if he's here by Thursday or Friday. It was more of a general wondering to be honest more than a fixed assumption I had. With there appearing to be a bit of uncertainly over when he may or may not arrive/sign, I was just wondering if it may all happen in time. I can never remember when the deadlines are for appearing in the next available match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zinaldo1982 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 £2.4m pounds a year before tax so it works out to £200.000 a month,£50.000 a week,if we can pay coloccini 80.000 a week when he was in the second division then we can pay this player with almost world class like talent even £60.000 a week if that is what he demands because remember he is only going to take home £25000 after the 50% tax. Ben arfa makes a month without the bonuses and other things £161.630.31 a month given that in france the monthly tax charge is £46.334.58 for footballers in france so we need to at least meet him half way there .

Guest malandro Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I'd be very surprised if we've got this far without knowing what he's on and being prepared to pay it. its ashley, expect the unexpected Knowing Ashley it was probably the second question we asked. The first being do you want to buy the naming rights to a football stadium? 'Would you print names on these shirts for us? Please?' What is that all about, have they run out of glue?

Village Idiot Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Personally I'm hesitant about this guy, he hasn't managed to stay at any club without stirring up trouble. That said, if you sign him I hope it turns out well for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Did he? I genuinely don't know the full story, just assumed he was expecting the same crazy wages he was on at Hull. quotes from hulls chairman "The deal is off... because of the absolutely ridiculous financial demands being made by the player," said Pearson. "We have bent over backwards to try to make this happen and four weeks ago there was an agreement with Celtic in place over a year-long loan. "But now it seems Jimmy wants extra cash on top and he has jeopardised the chance to play for a great club. Who would not want to play for Celtic with a chance of European football and silverware?

ElDiablo Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Sewelly is usually a good poster but he spouted some rubbish about La Liga and the Premiership earlier, christ, cliche bingo. I'll be delighted if we pull this one off, if he signs and keeps fit I would be confident of staying up. One or two more additions are still needed to be sure though.

The thing with cliches is they are often an exaggerated version of the truth. The Prem is utter pap for the most part, I have no doubt about that. Didn't miss not watching it regularly one bit last season. Conversely I watched La Liga and Serie A consistently. Far more absorbing leagues imo.
