..from those bastions of knowledge at The Sun today (it was the only paper left in the greasy spoon honest) - it reads; "STEVE BRUCE has been given the go-ahead to launch a £7million swoop for Sunderland hitman Fraizer Campbell.".. Yes you read that correctly.. SEVEN million.. I know they're not exactly known for their accuracy but stone me! http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...7m-move-for-Sunderland-ace.html#ixzz2FawM7gF0
We did this the other day. Lazy journalism as usual from The Sun, the "newspaper" that still is not sold in Liverpool.
There is no club that would pay this much for him if he had a 6 year deal left, never mind when he's out of contract in 6 months.
I couldn't see the Allams making something like this public, as they would want to negotiate the best deal possible, not tell the world and his dog what they plan to do. So I think this is utter bollocks, maybe FC old man put it out to up the value of his son stock.
i think everyone is reading into this wrongly, my neighbour said to me the same thing yesterday and what i think it means is Hull City want 7 million Sunderland man because thats what he cost them, i don't think it means we are going to pay 7 million
please log in to view this image In fairness though, they often include wages in those figures. So, let's say we sign him for £2.5m on a 5 year deal. That'd make his wages £18,000 p/w
Loan fee + signing on fee + wages = £7m. It's all swings and roundabouts. He isn't coming here, just saying like. Bookmark it for Feb 1st if you feel the need.
I think most of us with any knowledge of football know he won't come. Tickler disease is spreading through Hull at an alarming rate
I hope they aren't thinking of chucking Chester in as a sweetener, history has a bad habit of repeating itself thinking of Turner
£1.5m plus £35/week for 3 years is £1,505,460.00, but can't see him coming here for £35.00 a week.
FFS,,, For 7 million quid we could sign up Chris Wood - David Meyler - Robbie Brady and David Stockdale and still have enough left to GO LARGE @ the KFC.
