there's a risk with all transfers though. Reckon Janssen would be at Huntelaar's level.
there's definitely some leagues that are better suited to making the switch to the PL (Ligue 1)

would feel a lot more comfortable with Lacezzette or Bats finding it easy than someone from Holland

he was a busy man that night

sat with Long's agent while watching Janssen and Quincy Promes
£12m 21y.o not at the Euros and scored 3 in last 4 at international level. Sounds like our type of signing.

If Poch can turn around Dembele and Lamela I'm happy to give him a chance.

Do you not know what a loyalty bonus is? It's payable to him if he completes his contract, it's pretty basic stuff.
Didn't realise you were privy to Zlatan's contract.

As for loyalty bonuses they are usually paid when contracts are extended or a club ends a contract early by selling a player without them putting a transfer request in.

I never claimed to be all I've done is simplified it for you.

Loyalty bonus's are in effect for finishing a contract, it really isn't rocket science so not sure what part you are struggling with.

It's pretty normal for a bonus to be payable if they complete a contract and do not move clubs in that time regardless of extension.

Seems pretty straightforward. You get a 4 year deal, runs out June 30, if you stay until the end of that deal we will give you a loyalty bonus. If you leave before that, you don't. Not sure what is hard to understand? It was to get him to stay for the entirety of his contract, which he is doing. It is not bonus to extend his contract.

Bony is a great player, his biggest issue wasn't lack of game time, it was competing with Aguero. Aguero is one of the top 5 strikers in the world, he rarely has a bad game. There wouldn't be a game where Bony outshines him, he would forever live in his shadow.

I think Bony would thrive as the number 1 striker at a top team.

Don't think game time was the problem. Very rarely when he did play he looked remotely close to good enough.

Extenuating circumstances though. Our style of play is totally unsuited to him. His strengths were weakened and weaknesses highlighted.

Also his malaria in the off season. Can take a long while to recover from that.

Think he's still capable of scoring plenty at the right team.

i always laugh at this. Agents have more than 1 client. When Klopp watched the argies, the papers linked pool to higuain because klopp sat beside his agent....who probably has a quarter of the team in his stable.
dont think long's agent would have a plethora of talent, and if its mainly irish players long is the only player worth talking about

I would go for him depending on the price, think he's a bit more mobile than Benteke and a better finisher when he's fit and in form.
