The Transfers Thread

What a joke!!

Why?

 

[Magma]

10 mil a year is a tick under 200k. i can think of two players on more than that.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

tbh i am suprised it's no more. clubs like chelsea and city have more money than sense

 

[pantskyle]

Yeah Falcao is worth some decent coin.

 

[Cruyff14]

Nobody is worth 10 million pounds a year. Nobody.

While United players play for Aldi vouchers and half time oranges.

Beleive it or not some players play for more than money

You're telling me United players would play for nothing over another club?

 

[Magma]

250k a week should do it.

 

[moomba]

So when Rooney threatened to leave a few years back did you not give him a whopping pay rise to convince him to stay?

You make out like United isn't the highest payer of wages since the premier league began.

Of course not but I would be confident that most players would play for less in order to play for us over a club such as Chelsea or City

I honestly think he didn't stay for the money. No doubt City were offering more I am guessing other clubs would have as well. Like most I was unsure about what was going on there. Some say he did it for more money, some say it was all cooked up for by his agent and some say he was never going to leave amongst many other stories I heard.

So the pay rise was just a happy coincidence. LOL.

What, like Scott Sinclair, Jack Rodwell and Javi Garcia?

Of course not but he could have got more else where that's for sure

 

[Magma]

maicon took a pay cut to join us. but players only come for money.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

I did say most
Not that we were heavily interested in any of those players. We were into Rodwell but that was a few seasons back before Everton wanted to sell. Looking like we dodged a bullet now

 

[Cruyff14]

I know you did, but god you're daft. Rooney didn't want more money? Turn it up.

Not completely familiar with his circumstances but if I recall correctly he wasn't getting a game at Milan

 

[Magma]

most of this overspending stuff comes from previous contracts. guys like bridge, santa cruz being on massive contracts was, with hindsight a mistake, but money was the only way to get players here. now it's 2012 and it's so different. we're not giving players the massive contracts they want to come here (hazard, van persie). players are coming to the club to compete for trophies, to be part of a massive project that is growing year by year, a club with a proud history that is aiming to become the biggest club in the world. that's why players are joining.

Probably because he played for Inter.

yeh Inter Milan.......

not sure what exactly that has to do with him taking a paycut. he could have demanded the same amount

If he had of done that he would still be on a bench somewhere in Italy I presume
