There is definitely something in the water at Sky Sports. Saying that he's closer to Martial's current value than Merson was when he was telling West Ham to sell Mahrez and buy him for £20m. Not by much mind.
That's fair enough! I do think the 70K extra is a massive difference (its a 25% increase in his wage). But agree to disagree! What we CAN agree on is that this notion that he is money grabbing and was dying to play for city and is being a mercenary coming to UTD is a complete load of shit and a lie being perpetuated by the media.70k in relation to everything he’s getting out of this deal is nothing when comparing between playing for City and United. It’s nothing. If me and you are say on average wages in our jobs then £70 would make a massive difference to us. But to him it’s not a deal breaker. He could of easily gone to City to play for Sir Pep peanut head inventor of football and took easy medals straight away. For more or less the same money, when you include the addons and signing on bonus he would of been a very very wealthy man very quickly. He didn’t. He chose United, the timeline fits his decision. In my opinion he chose United over City regardless of money but his agent did what a good agent does, got him his worth. Sanchez, yes, is in the loop knowing how much is being asked but he isn’t demanding certain figures.
Anyway I’m not ignoring your next response, I’m about to take off from Lanzarote and I refuse to pay the exorbitant price for WiFi on Ryan air.
At least I’m being morally correct.
Sky Italia are the closest to Raiola. Not BBC.
). The problem with following this deal in every detail is you're at the beckon call of Raiola and what tit bits he chooses to release to his pets in the media.Imagine taking out all the ones asking when he has to be registered by, despite it being answered on pretty much every page. (Before the thread title change)I swear this thread would be half the size if people checked if a tweet has been posted before they post it themselves, amount of bloody duplicates I've just read through while catching up
Raiola is actively speaking to english journos. He even let a few of them openly quote him this week.
He's saying an extra 50m.
Agreed, but BBC must have a source right? This seems like Raiola pressure.
I think he means £50m plus Sanchez
All hail king of the doom mongers!

It's irrelevant though, isn't it. It's pretty clear that Martial isn't for sale.
It's a classic closing technique - brief to one side it is close to falling apart - brief to another source - we are so close! - Cue final point of conflict resolved.
I love Chileans
This.

This is why I don't trust people with 2 first names.
Ornstein is normally directly from Arsenal. Perhaps Arsenal trying to pressure Raiola and Mkhi?
What did he say?Ballbag talked sense on SSN just now. What has this world come to?

Well to be fair, we're also getting Sanchez because of Arsenal's incompetence...
They should probably target Neymar instead of Auba as well
Lol. Let’s taking a starting 11 player from a better team and bring him to our declining team. What’s next Arsenal should sign Kane.
Pep must have slated him for making their love fest too obvious.Ballbag talked sense on SSN just now. What has this world come to?
What did he say?! Feed the muppets!Ballbag talked sense on SSN just now. What has this world come to?
no but charlie nicholas is
Wait..what?
They did target martial but we told them to feck off!
...such as Alex Ferguson
We went over all this a few days ago when it was widely reported Arsenal were looking for Martial in exchange for Sanchez and got firmly slapped down.
