Its' 22 million only with add-ons. Assume there are various clauses like scoring more than 15 goals, qualifying for CL, putting in atleast 30+ first team appearances -- if he accomplishes all this, even 22 million would be a bargain.
It's 18 million with add-ons. Robson is the only one reporting 22 mil and he seems to be a bullshiter.
I think Wales have been training in Chester, so imagine they are flying out to Croatia from there.What's he doing at Liverpool Airport
Also, it's called John Lennon Airport (being the only vaguely interesting Scouser ever).
Everyone is saying 15m+3m add ons. Not bad at all.
Let me give you an update, it's been 22 for few hours, and by the end if the day will be 30. God knows how much will it be by the time he is announced.
There, you are updated.
You are welcome.
Theres always one journalist who just plucks a fee out of thin air.
Anyway glad to see this is nearly sorted. I will admit to thinking that we were after James Rodriguez when I saw the headline first a fee weeks back.
Anyway exciting to see how he gets on.

You alright?
I have no qualms about that. There are many clubs who tend to have a mixed type of transfer strategy which consist of 1-2 big names, some first team level players, some bargains and some free transfers. Juventus for example are quite renowned for that. My only concern is that to pull that strategy off successfully one must have a well tuned machine who are able to handle a high staff turnover turnout. To use the same example I previously used they tend to buy a horde of players while concurrently sell/loan yet another horde. That's good become it keeps players on their toes and it make sure that the valuation of those who failed to make an impact won't go too down.
Regarding the fee that will vary from one source to another. The reason being add-ons. Some add-ons are quite realistic (ex scoring 5 goals or play 20 games per season) while others are a long shot (ex winning the CL or scoring 15 goals a season). Now some journalist prefer not to include some unrealistic add ons while others do.
I lost hope of Martial as a winger. I hope this signing will free him to move more center, and he grabs this chance with all hands and feet.
more sanchez style signings
Id take this signing as a huge kick up the arse and last chance saloon to Martial, balls in his court big season ahead. Will be a huge test of his attitude and mentality i predict his agent will start hankerin* for a january move
We do. We need 5+ players in not one mega signing. This leaves budget for other positions that we need to strengthen this window. That's a plus.
Maybe he might come out riding a sheep and humming “ole’s at the wheel” on a kazoo in the official announcement. Stay tuned.
Most journalists at the time of Schweinsteiger were quoting 14 m when actually it was later found out to be 6 m.
Yeah he's more of a striker/inside forward, having James will give us a good balance.
That's racist that is.
Yeah, I felt the anger in my heart when I wrote it too.
No.
Apology accepted
Personally if he's half as good as the last Welshman we had on the left wing he can ride as many sheep as he wants.
Amen brother.
Brilliant signing! Honestly believe this is the way to go and move the club forward with similar signings. I would be delighted if we got Madison too. The key to this window is the defense though. If we don't sign a center back it doesn't matter who else we sign, we're not getting anywhere with the chuckle brothers as starters.
He's going to be our own Sterling, I'm totally convinced of it based on the two YouTube videos I've seen. Quote me in three years 
YouTube videos are the only way to judge a player's quality.He's going to be our own Sterling, I'm totally convinced of it based on the two YouTube videos I've seen. Quote me in three years
This made me laugh
Hope he starts for Wales the next game and we can see him up close
There doesn’t need to be a full stop after Cpt.
* There did there as that was the end of a sentence. I’m not a hypocrite.
It means that there is less risk with the signing if it doesn't work out and also leaves more funds available to use for other signings.
For those worried about him being a left winger have a watch of the video posted by Adnan.
Plays both sides in 1 game, and looks much more dangerous on the right side than the left. In fact on the left he's got a lot of the short comings that Martial has
There is a lot between signings like Sanchez and a signing. And there were plenty of people skeptical about the Sanchez but, they were shouted down here sort of like how the people who are skeptical about this signing are being shouted down now.
He could be anything, I've watched him a few times last season for the Swans, and has got electric pace, good control at pace, his runs off the ball are very good, his defensive side is good as well. Finished off a few good moves as well for Swans, could be anything.
It's up to him to make the most of it, good thing is the Old Trafford crowd will give him a chance, he's not lazy that's one thing we wait and see. £15 millions with add ons up to £20 , I think is reported so not bad.

Even if he turns into a squad player, or we sell him on in a few years time, in a market saturated by £40-60million players who are bang average, this is a good bit of business.
I've got a feeling that this might end up being the most shrewd signing we've made in a good long while.

yeh, like sanchez could, or mata can play right wingNope
If he is the only winger signed this summer, then people need to accept that Lingard is still going to be first choice next season.
Are the MEN still claiming we're not interested?
We haven’t been shrewd in a very long time.
You are ignoring fifa and football manager
They claimed that? Thought that was about Longstaff..
