    They’ve had a lot of big investments into that club recently. There’s a big push to get them challenging in the champions league every year. Osimhen is reported to be on about 250k a week.

    I could definitely see them going 100k-150k for a player like Akanji.

    Mate I said only because he’s 20 year old winger with quality that spurs paid more for a year ago it’s relative to football fees I know 20 million is a load of money I’m not stupid

    Cb and a winger is still really important to me, definitely less concerned than I was at CB with the fact that Mukiele can play there as well but a winger is a must

    Our 2 wingers were replaced by 2 CMs on Saturday so that's telling that we still need a winger

    Don’t stress we have free scoring Roberts who can cover both sides.

    But the key to this turnaround was financial engineering. The club sold some of its shares of public company Galatasaray A.Ş., starting Aug. 2011, which brought in around $50 million. They then revealed that, contrary to what the public had been told before, the stadium revenues belonged to the club, not the company.

    According to Habertürk columnist Yavuz Semerci, ticket sales were registered as donations for “tax purposes,” but the gist of all this was the increase in the company’s share capital. Galatasaray A.Ş. shareholders were obliged to pay 25 Turkish Liras per share in order to keep their shares from being diluted.

    The Hürriyet Daily News’ Çetin Cem Yılmaz recently quotedGalatasaray A.Ş. lawyer Sedat Bozanoğlu stating that the club had profited nearly $100 million from the operation. Sneijder and Drogba’s wages are peanuts compared to this sum.

    The club participated in the capital raise by transferring the stadium proceeds, which were supposed to belong to the company in the first place, to Galatasaray A.Ş. If they knew of the company’s capital increase beforehand, their share sale would be classified as insider trading. If nothing else, the company’s share price took multiple hits because of these actions.

    But Turkish equities watchdog Capital Markets Board turned a blind eye to all this. Some argue that this was one of the main reasons that led the government to summarily dismiss the Board’s chairman Vedat Akgiray in December.

    We could afford the fee but probs not the wages, pretty sure he'd have better options tbh.

    Maybe just me, but he has never struck me as being outstanding. Even playing for them, I've seen him ran past on occasions like he had concrete wellies on.

    And at his age, at that fee, not for me. Luckily though, it isn't "for me"!

    On the surface, our transfer dealings look very good. Dig deeper and they just seem to get better.
