Don't believe that for a minute. There's not a chance in hell we would have turned down $18m.

 

Wasn't it an $18m package - Fee + Miggy's contract.  Miggy was supposed to have wanted more for the contract so the fee would have been reduced, tied into the fact Atlanta are also due a % of the sale so this would have resulted in a PSR loss for us rather than profit hence the deal was canned.  

Can't remember the source for this so may have been total "ITK" bollocks at the time but sort of makes sense why we pulled the plug.

Why do you think the Saudis would burn £100m on this guy?

To funnel money into their vanity project and make us number one like they said when they first came.

Missed this at the end

 

From Guardian report

 

 

Van Nistelrooy, meanwhile, has much to ponder. At the final whistle, it was interesting to see him drifting over to Miguel Almirón, an unused home substitute earmarked for a January exit by Newcastle, and whisper something in the initially rather startled looking but subsequently smiling Paraguay’s forward ear.
