Feel sorry for him, but the team should feel more united now.

He has got exactly what he wanted...back in Italy. He's been here for 5 minutes and has started a punch up with an opposition coach, headbutted Fonte, and reportedly was involved in a training ruckus before (for which he was suspended and said to be injured). Not so surprising that the Roma fans hated him (luckily for him we are pussycats).
 
Regards us buying him, did we pay it all up front or stagger it over a similar number of years as is proposed should Juventus take up their option?

It won't have been up front, and some of it was performance-related (and therefore will never be paid), but most of it will still be due to Roma as per the original agreement.

Getting my calculator out and that equates to £37.5k a week or £100k a game(calculator not required).

Ever since I can remember our Transfer record signings have failed

Wanyama was our one-time record signing, he hasn't failed. Same with Rodriguez.

But yeah, the rest haven't been great.
