Exactly. I think it's a massive risk when we can just increase the clubs revenue legally by massive amounts. Feeding players to Arab clubs owned by our owners is bound to trigger some obscure rule.
If he really wants to be here then he'll come. If not, fair enough, we'll look elsewhere. But I don't think we'll get into a bidding war over transfer and/or wages if someone wants to offer silly money.
I think he'd be worth offering 200k pw if that's what we're offering Bruno to stay, but no more than that. 200kpw + CL football is a good enough offer as he's not been in the CL for like 5 years now?
£200k pw is too expensive for him imo, but if that's what he wants, then someone will no doubt pay it. Just can't see it being us.
I see him being potentially being just as important as Bruno to us next season if he signs with his goals/assists ability.
From the sounds of it Spurs are heavily in for him and they'll definitely offer him more than us, and he's clearly after money.
Money talks, simple as that; that's the reason why Chelsea will be able to make big signings in the summer. Maddison is currently on £110k per week, and I can't see us other much more than that....unless we sweeten the deal with a big signing on fee.
It's a job at the end of the day mate. Careers are short and they need every bit of cash they can get before they spaff it up the wall
If the rumours are true and we're going to offer Bruno 200k, I don't see why we cannot go up to 150k at least for Maddison, considering he would potentially be our best player if he does join.
