If we get €7m for him :mackems:

 

Can't see them taking up the option to buy unfortunately.

 

Aye, it's an option.  'Buy him? hahaha, oh, wait, you're serious.  Er, yeah, just stick 5 million there.  In fact, make it 7 million.  Or maybe 10.  No, you're right, they'd never believe that, stick to 7.'

Should have just paid the extra couple of millions for Lacazette rather than go for option b z

 

We paid Monaco £1.8m for his services. £3.8m would not have got us Lacazette.

 

Thought we paid £6m+ for him? Lacazette was around £11m at the time.

From what I remember we were a few million apart in our valuation with Lyon's while negotiating for Lacazette's services (who may or may not have been interested) and decided to go for Riviere as a cheaper alternative in the end to plug the striker hole. Two years later, Lacazette is worth at least double what Lyon wanted, we are in the Championship and Riviere is out on loan to Osasuna. I was just contemplating what might have been if we hadn't penny pinched.

No, we paid £1.8m and Ashley did the usual thing of 'I'm spending the TV money, honest' by factoring in the player's wages.

 

Cabella only cost us £5.2m also.

 

Got this on very good authority from someone at France Football when we signed them, and posted it at the time.

Well, we didn't quite 'penny pinch' as the difference in price was £10m and the difference in wages would have been significant (Riviere is 'only' on £22.5k/wk @ SJP) but obviously, yes, I agree who we should have bought but the song remains the same as long as that fat c*** remains at the club. Rafa's tuning up, though.

That Cabella figure is wrong.
