That little Italian fella that hangs around the players lounge![]()
£44m - £8.8m - £4m (loyalty bonus) = £31.2m
You need to sell Lambert to make the price up![]()
Why not include Raheem's wages for the entire time he's been with us? Could throw in the £600k we paid for him too. I'm sure you'll soon get it down to zero![]()

Nah, only pointing out what you will get from the transfer
Oh, and just realised you will have to pay Benteke's agents fee too, so you will probably have to sell that little Italian fella as well![]()
We've already sold Aspas and Coate![]()

Why would we pay more than the release clause?
£44m - £8.8m - £4m (loyalty bonus) = £31.2m

Only a guess
But an educated one![]()
Maybe like insurance, pay upfront and pay 32m or pay in instalments over period of time and pay 35m
perhaps we don't mind paying bit more as long as can spread payments over loner period?
£44m - £8.8m - £4m (loyalty bonus) = £31.2m

Yes you're right - A player gets a loyalty bonus for seeing out his contract and it will be paid on the last game of the season in the final year of a contract.He wouldn't have got a loyalty bonus.
He wouldn't have got a loyalty bonus.
Unless we made him submit a transfer request (not seen anything to suggest this) or Raheem sacrificed it for the sake of the transfer, Sterling will get the loyalty payment.
However, since he was on £35k pw with us, I can't see said loyalty payment being £4m either. That's equivalent to over two years worth of wages!
Is imagine something was agreed given how he was the one wanting to push through the transfer
He wouldn't have got a loyalty bonus.
It played out like LFC were saying "we're not selling, get on the plane" and Sterling caved and put in a request just before check-in
