wow, so if true, we did double Arse (if they only offered £50K PW)

so the entire salary load for Mudryk over 8.5 years is only around £43m

for KK, in less than HALF the time period, we are dumping out close to £62m

around 20m quid MORE for less than half the time

It says Arsenal offered 10k less than Chelsea so not a big difference.

ah, ok

I knew that £30K PW figure that the goona fanbois were pushing was bollocks

That guy is biased towards anything English related.

Anyways looks like this guy might end up staying because of his PR and commercial purposes.

I really hope the player is James.

Got to be hasn't it?

Hopefully an Italian club will save us from the KK wage bill...

Shakhtar CEO Palkin: “Chelsea’s offer for Mudryk has no Ballon d’Or clause. It is achievable bonuses that we feel can be reached.”

Bonuses are €30m — and all related to Champions League and Premier League wins during next years.

📰 Newcastle, Everton, Southampton and Nottingham Forest have enquired about signing Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher (Mail)

@Vesper  would you sacrifice Conor Gallagher (for a good fee) if it helps us get Caicedo?

already said £50m and it's bye bye Conor for me

we have to sell players, and he can fetch more than he is worth keeping IMHO

the quality of MFers we have and will bring in are beyond him (if not this instant, then soon)

we do need to sort out Homegrown issues (I think the whole HG thing is stupid, why force teams to carry players who are not as good as what's out there on the international market? Fuck England's national team, seriously, they will be fine)

and FUCK Brexit and the 18yo old rule for foreign players (but fuck it in general as well, it does far more damage than bloody football)

all that is why I was more than happy to see us linked with Matty Cash as the reserve RB (I already had suggested him for ages as a possible option)

Noni Madueke is HG, a left footer, can play wingback in a pinch, and is not crazy expensive, so no issues for him as a RWer option

Wasn't it always obvious the figures from £30-50K a week were bullshit? No player who moves for a fee nearing €100M will accept wages of £1.5-2.5M a year, that's ridiculous. If they did their agent should be sacked on the spot.

Even the 'confirmed' £97K/week seems low for a transfer that big so maybe there are some performance clauses that can increase his total wage package.

It is still a big transfer but small solace that it is a 62m fee up front and 97k/week salary. Wage structure is not disbalanced by that.

Yeah at first glance it seemed like another terrible overpayment by the new owners but now after getting some specifics it doesn't look too bad. Salary is very reasonable and the add-ons will only be triggered if we win the PL/CL sometime during the contract and if that happens I couldn't care less about some extra payment.

The base fee of £62M is big but to put it into perspective it's not much more than the ones paid for Jorginho, Pulisic, Cucurella and is less than Kepa and Havertz were. If he's a flop it seems really big but if he's a success it's not even worth mentioning because good players go for fees like that all the time now.
