The huge fee and wages for one season, he was always going to be an investment, sold on eventually.Signing 2 of La Liga's previous best players recently.
Also, what the hell - why would Monaco agree to a loan?
Their 'project' is more or less over. His fees must be huge, and they're cutting their losses.So, can someone explain why the hell Monaco are happy to loan out the best #9 in the world?
We can definitely still afford it. It's a loan deal because of his injury issues, most likely, and as you said, maybe he doesn't want to commit either.Probably a loan because we can't afford to pay that much for now and he doesn't want to tie himself down here in case we don't get back into the Champions League. Still Brilliant though! To the Vidal thread!
And they'll probably still finish above us. It's madness!Liverpool get Lambert as striker backup, We get Falcao.
Not your mistake mate. Its ridiculous the number of times this summer, the Brit media has converted euros to pounds by just switching the symbolYour right, just seen it on the news bar. The presenter definitely said £ though.
Typical French so. Always surrendering before you even begin.Their 'project' is more or less over. His fees must be huge, and they're cutting their losses.
They must be really struggling with FFP is all I can think of. £15 million loan fee or thereabouts, and his wages off the books.So, can someone explain why the hell Monaco are happy to loan out the best #9 in the world?
he's Russian!Typical French so. Always surrendering before you even begin.
Renting him for the year makes a lot of sense. He has a lot to prove coming back from injury as well.We can definitely still afford it. It's a loan deal because of his injury issues, most likely, and as you said, maybe he doesn't want to commit either.
For a season, reportedly. I'd assume there is a buy option clause in there too.Any word on how long the loan is? Just this season?
They sold James for big, big money. I doubt FFP is a concern.They must be really struggling with FFP is all I can think of. £15 million loan fee or thereabouts, and his wages off the books.
yeah me tooWe're nuts. I love it
I dont think he is worried about the CL he has managed to make sure he avoids it for the past 4 seasons.Probably a loan because we can't afford to pay that much for now and he doesn't want to tie himself down here in case we don't get back into the Champions League. Still Brilliant though! To the Vidal thread!
I stand by what I said.he's Russian!
SSN just quoted a loan fee of £20-£25m. That's very expensive to rent a player.Renting him for the year makes a lot of sense. He has a lot to prove coming back from injury as well.
He is growing on me.....inside my pantaloonsWhat a guy.Tweet

SSN just said there might be a fee of 20-25m Euros attached to that … surely that's if we want to take him outright at the end of the season??? It can't be €37m for one season loan surely!Tweet

Of course you would, youI stand by what I said.
This is key I think.We should also remember Arsenal are probably our main rivals for the top four. We've just pinched a signing that would almost certainly get them that spot. Worth £20m to keep Arsenal reliant on Giroud?
