Pizy 19,275 Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 Feels like everything has gone silent at the moment. Ten Hag even saying Sancho is staying now. With Toney currently doing his medical for the Saudi’s you’d have to assume that if Osimhen decides to say yes to their offer we can just quickly pivot to Toney and use that medical info.

King Kante 1,643 Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 1 minute ago, Vesper said: yes, but Sterling's wages per week are over 3 times less when you do the FOREX and his contract was also half the length American sports players who are 'names' always get paid more. You have people like Jordan Love who is an ok Quarterback who get essentially $55m a year or $3.25m a game (if his team do not make the play offs.) For clarification, Love has only had one season as a starter and only looked decent in the last 8 games or something. QB's do get paid differently to other positions in American Football, but it is also a good example of how they're paid crazily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhsc 1,146 Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 Remember that VO's salary at Napoli is a fake salary. He was given this deal to shut him up and they never expected him to make that money for more than a few months. It was to inflate the salary he'd get next, as he assumed he would never be asked to take a pay cut. Its far more than he's worth and they & we know it. The only place that will pay him ridiculous money will be Saudi. If he wants that, it is his choice and I wont blame him - that's a different level of wealth. Depends on his motivations and life ambitions. Obviously either way he is sorted for life financially. But that is clearly a one way road: no one is going to buy him back out of Saudi and put him on any kind of serious wages when he's not played proper football in years. I don't blame the guy either way tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 2,819 Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 I'm super fine with not going for VO. All the better. Hilarious some are calling Toney better than Jackson. Good jokes. Great in fact. Duran and a CB to close would be great to end things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman2610 1,430 Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 I get that but if he goes to a new club does that not remove financial responsibility from us not having to subsidize the ridiculous wage. It is different for a manager if they do not get a new job after being sacked then yes we continue to pay them their salary but if he's going to a new team not leaving football why should we still be paying him. Is the contract no longer valid when he is sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good jokes. Great in fact. Duran and a CB to close would be great to end things. I feel the same. VO would be nice if the deal is right - I'm not convinced he is 100% nailed on starter for us, but good competition for NJ and improves the squad. Duran for similar reasons would be nice, any number 9 who is physical and a bit of a bully would add some nice variety to our squad of Mr Nice Guy forwards. We could use someone with a bit of an edge to them. TBH a world class CB would make more difference than a number 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the contract no longer valid when he is sold. I just posted to explain please read a few posts up. We made a promise to him that he will get some portion of money (the sign on fee) as long as he does not request a transfer. Simple as. We promised it and we should pay it. That's how contracts work and the right thing to do. The rest he will obviously lose and will be on him to get from his new club.

Pizy 19,275 Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 Speaking of American sports salaries, I don’t think people who only follow UK/European sports really realize just how INSANE they are compared to footballers. These days the top NBA stars are going to be making $60m+ per year. The very top NFL QB’s make well north of $50m per year. We think these footballers are overpaid, it’s a different ballgame over here in the States. King Kante, IMissEden and Vesper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
