If reports are true,£5m loan fee, club to pay his full wage believed to be £100k pw, only loan no sell on clause, no wonder we didnt go near it.
Why is everyone panicking about Sunderland getting a 19 year old as their main striker? We were never in for him, neither were anyone else. Looks a horrific deal. Sunderland are giving it a go but if it doesn't work then they are in huge financial strife and will take losses on every signing they have made so far.
Who’s panicking? I’m merely pointing out that they are doing all they can to help their manager keep them in the division, particularly as they have a lot of ground just to make up on us and Burnley.
Leeds u21 side beat a Norwegian side Lyn 10-2 today. Gelhardt scored 4. Greenwood scored 2. Bamford got 1.
Okay, I thought a straight loan just meant there was no option/obligation to buy rather than no loan fee.
Chelsea don't do loans without a fee. It's part of their make up, brings them in a lot of revenue each season.
Luis Rojo adds some interesting detail, writing that Chelsea will pay the €6m release clause and also have tripled the €2m gross salary that Barca offered to their academy product to keep him. 6m euro, approx £5.2m equating £100k pw
He was on £50k a week at Barcelona, he refused a new contract, Chelsea reported offered to double his wage, hence he left and joined them So I read on various sites
