January Transfer Window 21/22

- Juventus trying to offload Ramsey, but sounds like he doesn't fancy relocating up North (or they just can't match his ridiculous wages).
- Emi Martinez signing a new contract is good for Villa. Can't believe Arsenal never trusted him.

Is Ramsey on something stupid like £300k a week because they got him on a free?

 

[DrToffnar]

So glad Martinez is sticking around. Really do think he would be welcome almost anywhere.

Perhaps even more.

The word was £400k/week.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

No wonder Juve fans think of it as one of the worst deals in the club's history.

Ouch!

[McBain]

Double ouch considering how often he's actually on the field.

 

[JamesH85]

If he stays injury free he's a great signing, not 400k a week though.

I feel it's far less gobsmacking if you put it into context...

Ramsey according to that article was worth £30-40m when buying from another club... So if we take the £400k x 4 year contract that's £83m. Take off the £40m that would have gone to a club and you're left with a £207,692 per week contract which in reality isn't that great a sum. Especially when you consider that the club didn't have to fork out the £40m up front but it's just being paid over 4 years.

That said, I think most people could see Ramsey wasn't the luckiest with injuries so it was a bit of a gamble from Juve.

They might not have paid a few to the club but theyll have chucked 20 mil between him and hjs agent.

I'm not sure he's a £200k a week player!

Don't clubs have insurance so when a player is injured they don't pay the full salary themselves?

 

[CliffyG]

It's only for career ending injuries as far as i'm aware. Can you imagine the premium to cover any of the top players? 2 months out would be millions on a payout.

I don't think it matters too much, I'm guessing it's not their money! All the big clubs are hundreds of millions in debt. You think a club like Barca who are €1billion+ in debt.

 

[Mint8]

All gone quiet on the Lingard front - is he now happy to be a seat warmer ?

Always has been.

Martial to Sevilla on loan for rest of season. They are paying his wages apparently. No option to purchase.
Doesn't bother me - he's had his chance and failed to take it. Sevilla (no disrespect) is probably a good move for him. Talented lad but annoying body language without the consistency to back it up

Going for his medical today. So pretty much a done deal.
