Euro's? i must have misread of something, yea suppose. Still seems a lot when you add in wages on top of that. I wouldn't pay that for him personally, but i suppose that's why i'm not the manager of Utd..

There's better value out there i'm sure of it..

Its ok, we haven't paid that for him either and it doesn't look like we are going to. At any rate we already have... Carrick, Fletcher, Cleverley :(

I've gone made myself sad again.

Lampard deal is interesting.

What would happen say if; New York City FC buy a £40,000,000 forward and then loan him to Manchester City for the season, Manchester City loan him with minimal finical cost on their part, they wouldn't be 'buying' the player themselves (Manchester City) but would be able to play him as a loanee for seasons and renew the loan each season.

Meh, thought I had earlier while having a few drinks with friends.

A very good point I must say, would be interesting to see how UEFA would deal with that one tbh.

V.interesting point indeed. Hopefully Uefa see right through that tripe though..
 
AFAIK MLS teams have a salary cap and so are only able to have 2-3 big wage players (designated players), New York City already have Lampard/Villa so if they signed another I'd imagine they'd have to be pretty frugal with the rest of their squad. There's no relegation in MLS but I can't see the fans standing for it if their best/most expensive player is permanently on loan at Man City once they start competing in 2015.

While I admit the destination club of a losn player doesnt always/ possibly even rarely pays the full amount of the wages Im sure City could fund 100% of them in this case so the player is in essence imvisible to MLS from a wages pov

MLS side would then have same wage budget as they did before surely?

City could then do what PSG are rumoured to be doing with di maria, paying a hefty loan fee for the season to keep the right side of FFP while gaining a player who they have agreed to purchase next summer after FFP gets easier ( in their case)

Hmmm currently Im not sure which is more difficult for City, the transfer fee like PSG trying to keep the right side of FFP even after amorization, or the wages.


LVG today "Maybe we wont buy any more players before the season starts"

Vs 3 days ago " Ive inherited a broken / Un balanced squad"

Practically a contradiction lol ( or at the very least why start the season with a broken squad when you dont have to)....... Surely everthing is just to fill media pages and nothing more

Salary cap would be irrelevant if Man City paid the wages surely....

It's *******s. It was reported that £20m worth of shirts were sold. The rights to the shirts are owned by Adidas who sell the shirts to retailers.

The only money Real would have seen (on top of their agreement with Adidas) would be money made as a retailer selling the shirts from their official stores. And that would be nothing like £20m.

edit: It's also worth remembering that the vast majority of shirts that were sold would have still been sold regardless of the signing, they'd have just had Ronaldo or Benzema's name on the back instead.

When I worked for a premier league club they got paid £28 for every £50 shirt sold. It's only a million shirts bought online through Real Madrid's website or club shop. Easy done...

However as we both pointed out - its not necessarily EXTRA shirts sold (which is what the site are saying in not so many words), for all we know currently Ronaldo and all the others may sell just as many fewer shirts , so RM havent actually generated any extra cash from this particular signing

Give or take its also 150, 000 units a day or 6500 an hour every hour for the week. Even for RM I doubt thats likely
