tbh we paid 6 for Riviere so i'd have no issues with us paying 15 for someone who is so much better. It would give the club a major major lift also.

 

Riviere was £1.8m. The club did the usual trick of including his wages, etc. for the duration of his contract.

I'll say what i always say everytime France Football get brought up...... France Football know fuck all.

No way Monaco would sell him for £1.8m after scoring 10 league goals.

 

Are you kidding? We've all seen how gash he is. Even at £1.8m we were sold an horrendous pup.

He still scored 10 league goals. £1.8m are just bullshit.

So because a fucking french journalist told you it was £1.8m, it must be?

 

Seriously, why would they sell him for £1.8m after scoring 10 league goals? It's not like they need the money.

In the past matchday revenue was the largest proportion of most clubs' revenue. We have matchday revenues ahead of anyone outside of the top 4-5 clubs which gave us much greater spending power than anyone outside of the top 4-5 clubs.

 

However, matchday revenue is now a small proportion of overall revenue, most of it comes from premier league TV revenue which has increased 27 fold since 1997 and is relatively evenly spread across the league. So, unlike just 5 or so years ago, all established premiership clubs are pretty much as rich as each-other (aside from Man U, Arsenal and the oil clubs). Differences in matchday and commercial revenue have much less of an impact on spending power than they did in the past (aside maybe from Man United and Arsenal because theirs is so much greater than everyone else).

 

With the TV deal as it is, financially, we're just simply not significantly bigger than the likes of Southampton.

 

Commercial revenue is still very important and so is match day revenue.£5m difference a year would pay the wages of 2 important players for most teams in the division..

Well, he's more reliable than NUFC, which appears to have been on a 'sponsored lie' for the last eight years.

 

Not sure what has prompted the language ('f***ing french') on your part, but it doesn't abet your argument.

 

Why would they sell him? Because he's gash and while they may not need the money, they could probably have done with freeing up a first-team spot for someone less gash. Not sure what your obsession with '10 league goals for Monaco' is, but it's safe to say that with one (fluked) league goal for NUFC in 23 appearances, he didn't bring his form with him.

 

Further, to use your argument, if Monaco don't need the money - why would they sell him at all?

 

You obviously know best, as I said.

Still important, but nowhere near as important as they used to be. Clubs like Southampton can compete financially with us now, ten years ago there was no way they could have.

Amdy Faye cost more than that, 10 years ago.

Didn't Ayoze cost like £1.5m? Riviere obviously cost more than £1.8m like.

 

Sure he claimed Cabella was £4m as well last time :lol: Must be true though a journalist told him, and when have they ever been anything other than reliable and honest?

I'm not sure who to trust with requards to these fees but the club have said that they pay £78 million a year in wages which works out at 30 players earning £50000 a week I doubt if half of our first 11 earn that sort of money

Me neither. Liverpool/Tottenham/Southampton will s*** themselves and stick in a f***ing daft bid that we won't even entertain matching. He'll join them and probably end up doing reasonably well. He'll probably think back on the time where he almost joined that chaotic club up north and laugh his cock off.

 

Aaaah ffs.

"Considering" a £9m bid mentioned in the Bob Moncur article in the Chronicle this morning. We just end up pissing clubs off with low ball bids.

 

I "considered" having a Chinese for tea last night. Went for a pizza instead.

No chance we will get him, we'll start the bidding off with some half arsed bid like £9m, up it to about £11m, then get crushed by someone ending up paying closer to £20m. Our media partners will then leap to the defence of the club saying we had put in a reasonable bid but didnt want to break the clubs highly successful transfer policy.

We all just know this is what will happen. Happed far too often.

Whilst I agree with the majority of that, there's no way they can even feel our transfer policy is an overall success. Carroll and Cabaye can't be held up when there's so many Gouffrans/Williamsons/Rivieres/Yang Mbiwas
