I think this is a very accurate and oft overlooked point.
He's on 200k now apparently.
He is just photoshopping some random name and a random club - because he know we can't be bothered to fact-check itNot a complaint, just a question: @Fridge chutney do you follow every football league club on twitter or something? How do you find these obscure deals
From people who had never seen him play.
Kane isn't on that going forward (I dont think) and the piece (which is clickbait like usual) does say it's heavily incentivised so he won't be on £250m unless he's had a storming season and United have ... in which case, great.
That's a bit much, don't you think?

Damn predictive text tablet.yes! he looked really good at Basel and was hyped a lot. maybe too much. had a few injuries and bad ankle injury and never really got going at schalke. I hope for him, that he will be able to get back on track at Gladbach
Context. Off course we are going to reward a young academy product, a regular first team starter, our second best goal scorer (if we sell Lukaku), a regular NT starter and probably one of the main faces of our club a very good deal t. If the contract includes his images rights then £250k/w is reasonable and well in line with his status.
Wasn't he retiring? Or was that another EPL goalie?
Or maybe Pochettino preferred to keep those players, and maybe none of them actually wanted to move United.
I mean a lot of the talk at the time made it sound like Rose and Dier at least were pretty keen.
15M + 5M add on for a player who has played less than 15 games int he PL is a good start of a negotiation isn't it?

Maybe, but levy would not have made half of that money selling these players elsewhere

guess DDG gets his 500k a week here then.
Or maybe he's just professional. Yes he wants to leave and we all know that. But he'll not make a big bitchy fuss about it and do his job. If it happens, good for him. If not, he's still going to do his best. Like always.
Mistakes, then, on both counts.
I'm sorry, but this is insane! He wouldn't even get half that amount at any other club!
I think we’re on a similar page, I’ve never said he’s not a professional - for a vast period he outperformed an underperforming squad.
Rooney was part of the most successful period of Uniteds history and it was probably for money (although in fairness one of the reasons also given was he was upset at lack of investment in quality players, which has come home to roost now). He was living 30 miles from his home town and had no reason to leave.
Are you referring to when fergie went public about the contract negotiations with rooney?
Why is that? Watched a few Villa games towards the end of the season and he impressed me every time. Wouldn't pay 50m for him of course but for the right price he could be a decent Herrera replacement / squad player.
Bit laughable when they were CL finalists this season and have qualified again next season, without spending anything. Meanwhile we finished 6th.
Not quite sure what you’re arguing here.
Spurs are not in any great need of money. We are in the global top 10 income-wise, with more income than Juventus, and have recently recorded profits larger than any football club ever.
Is that accurate? You spent close to a billion on a stadium so would be surprised if it is or if it is hasn’t taken into account the stadium which basically makes your argument a lot weaker
Your high income was based off strong cup progression. Your salaries are unsustainably low. Your profit is funding the stadium.
It’s particularly hilarious when you make up Kane’s wage to make it much less than it actually is.
Some of the stadium cost was paid for by years of transfer-spending austerity, when the money was invested instead in the stadium project. The rest comes from bank loans, but the annual cost of servicing these is dwarfed by our annual income.
And what might they have done with the extra £150m only having sold three infrequent performers?
Our booming income is based on many things. In the coming season it will be based partly on our first full season in the new stadium, with all its many hugely increased revenue streams compared to the old stadium.
Infrequent performers? Two of those three - Rose and Alderweireld are currently part of our first XI - and Dier was previously before being struck down with illness.
