Well you could be right, but Rafa could offer him a 3 year contrat for 120 k per week.Originally posted by Bob View PostThat's what i think. Can't see him staying for 70k though when he got £20k more when signing for a huge fee.
IMO he'll be looking for 120/wk and a 5m signing on fee.
I expect to see him at Milan or Real Madrid.
Still not bad for a striker in this day and age.Originally posted by Gordon Brown

I'm not sure I subscribe to the idea that we have to be in for him as he is cheap. The aim surely is to get a set of players in who advance us towards winning the Premiership. If Saviola doesn't add the qualities we want then he will take wages and signing on fee out of the money we have to buy players who do.
Having said that he clearly adds invention and an eye for goal to the team. I would question from what I have seen whether or not he would stand up to the physical aspects of the PL."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

Yeah...but the point is, he's better than anyone we've got AND has no fee.Originally posted by dww View PostI'm not sure I subscribe to the idea that we have to be in for him as he is cheap.

Win-win.
And, when it comes to transfer fee, he's one player even Parry couldnt make a loss on

I don't subscribe to the "lightweight" theory. Argies are generally tough dirty ****ers and any lightweight player who can stand up to international football playing for one of the best international teams knows how to look after himself.Originally posted by dww View PostI'm not sure I subscribe to the idea that we have to be in for him as he is cheap.

Take Zola for example, he was a little fella but thrived in the premiership.Originally posted by Gordon Brown

When you leave your job, you normally so expecting a salary increase. Footballers are no different, especially proven goalscoring strikers on a free.Originally posted by DJS View PostI see nothing whatsoever that would enable him to justify such a demand.
90k + 33% = 120k
33% covers salary amortisation and the facth there is no fee involved.
Look at Beckham's exceptional wages for an extreme example of a high-demand player in similar circumstance....

care to explain why you don't rate him?Originally posted by Marky19 View PostDon't rate him.
would you prefer to keep bells instead of getting him?"I have decided to escape, to defy the shogun. Today I will begin walking the road to hell. But you will choose your own path. So, soon you may be seeing heaven. Choose the sword, and you will join me. Choose the ball and you join your mother, in death. You don’t understand my words, but you must choose. So… come boy, choose life or death."

Footballers' 'jobs' are totally different. He's a proven goalscorer who hasnt really played much football.
And Beckham's a worldwide superstar showbiz figure, joining a league desperate to establish itself, and will sell absolute millions in merchandising.
Completely bonkers post IMO, with all due respect.

I did use 'extreme'. I knew all that when i posted.Originally posted by DJS View PostI dunno which bit to disagree with first...

Fact is players with players on a bosman expect 20% more than they would normally otherwise an agent simply wouldn't be doing his job.
I think 70k is equally bonkers.
