What are they on about?
Feeling salty that they paid more for Ben fecking White?
Of course we'll pay him 380k a week. He's played in 14 finals and won them all.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Yeah I meant gross, he'll be on probably 250k to 300k max, which is anything between about 10 and 15 mill gross, ain't no way he'll be on 400k pw gross
Read again my post.
I doubt anybody “external” knows the exact figures, but these are in line with what has been reported before and are probably not too far off.I am really amazed that he has seen the contract and can state exactly what Varane is earning. Because if Varane only made £300k a week - the total cost would be about the same as Pepe - which wouldn't have the story quite as good for him
£34m
I feel a James May happy dance coming on...
... there is it!
... there is it!
fecking amazing.
Assuming a 40% tax rate:
It was reported that we offered him €12m NET a year.
12m euros are around 10m GBP. 10m GBP NET a year are about 20m GBP gross.
€20m Gross = €12m Net.
£17m Gross = £10m Net.
£17m * 5 = £85m.
I doubt we are offering him that much anyway. It has to be €12m Gross.

20 m Sterling in wages per year would be circa 460k euro a week, why do folk bollox on about stuff they know nothing about.
We got a fantastic defender who will improve us, and that's pure gravy.

Brilliant piece of business. £34 million?! Absolute steal!
Anyone on flight tracker?
Salary calculations have started 
Great deal as long as we haven’t Sanchezed his wages.
Is he actually good? There's surely a reason Real Madrid are willing to let him go, is he an upgrade on what we have at present?
Not much to report except a glider over france right which is a bit unusual at night time I think
Because he has a year left on his contract and doesn’t want to extend. Simple
As per FIFA rules, clubs are required to pay a small portion(s) of the transfer fee to the player's previous club(s) that were involved his education and development. From FIFA's Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players:
The mechanism:
Thanks.
Some players need fresh starts and I think Varane will be a different animal for us. Love this signing.
Have they factored in shirt sales? HAVE THEY FACTORED IN SHIRT SALES???Salary calculations have started
Real Madrid wanted to keep him but he didn’t want to stay.
Certainly an upgrade on Lindelof, Bailly & Tuanzebe
I certainly hope so. Soon reports about his salary will come to light and we'll know for sure.
Woodward is a genius. Signed Verane and Sancho for the price of 2020 Sancho. But his bridges are burnt

£34m is a steal. We will make that back in shirt sales
who gives a flying fuk about his salary???
it's how much his transfer fee and what we pay a year is the bigger impact on our transfer plans for the remainder of the window now and going forward

Bump
These two Arsenal goons on Talkshite are clearly worried about this signing and resort to the Ole stuff
With the shirt sales from Varane and Sancho combined we’ll actually make a net profit from both transfers.
/poke
Who’s on?
Oh my god what a deal
I can't believe this is real
34 million is a steal

Back up to Lindelöf
They paid more for Pepe & Ben White combined than we did for both Jadon Sancho & Raphael Varane.
Don't even say it in jest! That one has to die.
So what you're saying is Adidas paid us to sign these feckers?
the dick dastardly shirt salesHe's OK, knows a bit or 2 about playing football I guess.
I used some online calculator to get to the figures I wrote. It might be wrong. I'm not very familiar with UK salary taxes.
When all the links came out there were a few tweets saying Real offered him 7m Euros Net and we offered him 12 m Euros (without mentioning if the salary we offered was Net or Gross).
We all assumed it was net.
Going by the change of transfers approach in last couple of years I'd assume we've offered him an adequate salary. Not as high as Sanchez's, but high enough to warrant an interest from a 4 time CL and WC winner.
Hope i never see Bailley again. What a feckin disaster of defender he is.
