http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11678/11448129/matz-sels-leaving-newcastle-to-join-strausborg Sky reporting Sels is off Strazborg for £3.5m. £10m for Merino £5m for Mbemba £3.5 for Sels Total income £18.5m Surely that means we can get Rondon now...
You forget that those fees will probably be being paid over 3 to 4 years. So Rafa will only be getting possibly 1/4 of the total. And we have bought D'goalkeeper. I know, I know, but you're supposed to forget that that must mean we are receiving money in for sales we have completed in the last 3 to 4 years as well.
I think that is smart business. We've basically swapped him for a small loss for someone that Benitez wants.
