It feels like wiping shit from your shoe

and about time too

But we're still paying half his wages AND we've sold him for less than we were asking for. It feels like I've wiped the shit from my shoes with my favourite shirt: I've got clean shoes, but it's at a high price.

Still, on the plus side, we've cut £80k a week from the wage bill and pulled in another five mill, plus we'll have the utter, unadulterated joy of watching him pull the same stunt on the spuds when he gets pissed off with AVB's management technique.

I hope that part of the deal is he can't play against us! we are paying more of his wage than Spuds are.

Complete farce. Mark Hughes you c0ck!

If it isn't, then I'd start worrying that our legal team might not be up to the challenge of thwarting Pratini and his "Let's kick the new money out of the game*" plan.

* Except PSG.

As far as i can see, the only difference from last seasons loan deal is the £5m fee. Is it really worth it?

Out of pure spite towards the Spuds, imo we should have kept hold of him. They and Adebayor must be pissing themselves at us with this deal.

Why the fuck are we still paying £95k a week for him to ply his services at WHL?...........utter bollocks! I'd honestly rather have kept him and made him play for the EDS/YTS/reserves/U10/U11/U12, etc, etc,in the hope he goes on strike and then sue him for breach of contract. Then let his contract run its course (unless he buys it out) and watch with delight as he struggles to find anyone stupid enough again to give him wages anywhere near what he's asking for.

This deal is shit!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't look like we are paying any of his wages or have I read that wrong?

No, you've not Rich.

Instead of us paying part of his wages, he's been "compensated" for his wage reduction (£4m).

Good riddance......i feel a bit calmer now .

leopold if todays gossip is true!!!! I know pinch of salt etc etc it won't only be psg overspending. Two more chelsea targets cavani & Schurrle from leverkusen fees quoted as 35mil & 23.5 mil respectively taking their summer spending to 125 mil how are they going to comply. winning the champs league has its bonuses but not that much surely.They have hardly sold any one either to offset their spending. Drogba & Bosingwa released kalou a freebie i think. probably a few more i have forgotten to.

champs league worth about £52M which isn't too much more than they'd normally get (about £20M qualifying out of group stages).

certainly won;t pay for what they've been buying.
