Aww, what a nice guy. Don’t blame him, still a bargain for whoever signs him. You don’t get much with a £25m transfer fee these days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) I don't see the problem, he isn't forcing somebody to buy him. If they do thats the clubs issue Messi got a signing on fee last summer of 25 million and I would argue Rudiger is definitely a more useful signing in the era of poor defenders Edited March 23, 2022 by Zatman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read Rudiger has been arguing with Chelsea where he wants 180k per week or something and they offered 120k or so. A 25m bonus equals 120k extra every week during a four year contract.

HanoiVillan Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 If it's too much, then nobody will sign him and he'll either have to request less or go without a club. It's probably also worth pointing out that the source we're given for this is The Express, so it's probably complete nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is but Arsenal paid 50 million for Ben White and United well they paid 80 million for something they call a defender and thats without wages coming into it Some club is getting a good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think he's elite level and find the amount excesssive for how much I rate him, he's also a bit of a scumbag on the pitch, he will try anything on and because of who he plays for he gets away with most, he currently plays for a scumbag club and I fully expect him to sign for scumbag Newcastle. My opinion of course, I'm sure I'd find yours just as wierd if you decide to share it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's reporters putting words in players mouths too, fair enough but I just have a bee in my bonnet at the moment with regards to the way we live depending upon where we live on whatever pyramid, people cutting back on meals, walking to work, wearing extra layers of clothes to stay warm etc whilst some demand millions to go on top of their millions. Anyway, enough from me, drifting a bit here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 If he gets £25m it'd be interesting to see what mbappe is demanding as his signing bonus I did think that if it wasn't for the clause then the only way grealish left us was for £0, maybe kane too, mbappe will be £0, it will become the new norm for well ran top level clubs and players, there'll no doubt still be the likes of barca and juve using transfer fees to massage their debts but the days of the obscene transfers should be coming to an end, there are players who are genuinely unsellable by their clubs due to value and fan perception etc Only to be followed by the days of even more obscene wages and player wealth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if he turns in to one of them lay abouts that fart about plodding through games and finally rot on the bench once he gets his zillions on top of his millions.
