Well in Shteve.

Though I do laugh when posts make you bitters scuttle off to read the interweb for half an hour looking for ammo to then come back all guns blazing only to be sent off again lookng for more.:bandit:

At least you don't pretend to be an expert, unlike some.<ok>

I see. I clicked on the first link and the headline said
Radamel Falcao joins Manchester United in £16m season-long loan deal

You took that to mean an investment of £22million as you didn't read the article, you added the £6million loan fee to the figure of £16million which is what the article says it would cost United in total. Oops! [HASHTAG]#fatkidsonlyreadheadlines[/HASHTAG]

That article quotes wages of £190k a week. Other articles quote £265k a week, before or after tax depending on the article. United may or may not be paying all of the wages depending on which article you read. And all of them seem to be factoring in 52 weeks worth of wages for a 9 month loan (if I wasn't self employed I'd be taking this article to whoever paid my wages and asking them to pay me 52 weeks worth of wages for 9 months work!). So let's go with £265k a week and United are paying all of it (which the club have denied but we'll ignore any information that's come from the people who signed the player and base our assumptions on newspaper speculation). 40 weeks of wages would be just over £10million. Add on the £6million and looky here, we're at £16million not £20million [HASHTAG]#fatkidsthinktheerare52weeksin9months[/HASHTAG]

So given the inconsistencies in the articles it suggests that the journalists have about as much of a clue as you do!

Hang on that list can't be right, as there's no Weetabix legs, Balotelli, Borini and Lambert?

The young players LVG has chosen this season were already there.<laugh>

My point was that he gave them a chance (not that he signed them!). Other managers are too scared to bring youth players into the team. I doubt Mourinho has the faintest idea about what's going on in his youth teams as he has no interest in promoting players to the first team.

Ferguson's youth system is still paying dividends, its ok you saying every manager has the opportunity etc but they have to be good enough and have come through the clubs ranks first,or are you giving LvG the credit for scouting and training them to the quality required?
As for your purile bs about "opinions" based on current trophy success, where did I say that was some kind of qualifying criteria for having an opinion?

I was referring to your arrogant opinion about LFC's spending and transfer policy and pointing out its pitfalls which is something Utd hadn't had to worry about for almost 26yrs, considering Utd have actually won as much major silverware as LFC since Fergie retired your arrogance is funny as ****.

Not giving LVG the credit for scouting or training them. I am giving him credit for playing them in the first team.

Not sure where I've been arrogant. I said Liverpool have wasted a lot of money signing a lot of average players. Is that an arrogant statement or is it just a factual statement?

His deal with the club is a 4 year contract, but to the club, it's a 4 year investment <laugh> They've put 16 mil into balo for his services for 4 years <laugh>

Every investment has a turnaround time projection where they expect a return over time, in this case goals.
Click to expand...
It's not a 4 year investment as there's no guarantee he'll stay for 4 years even with a 4 year contract, he will want a pay rise at some point, he will angle for a contract extension, Liverpool may look to sell him this summer, he may or may not have a resale value. So many variables that mean it isn't a 4 year investment which is why the money is paid up front.

Sources out there.

Yeah, I mean I could post the link but really what's the point, you won't give it any credibility, well neither would I tbh <laugh>

There's a lot of numbers being bandied about, which is why I am asking if you have any credible sources one way or the other, cos I don't.
 
Wow you jokers going on about how many goals its cost so and so club.

To sum it up - Balotelli and Falcao both been a waste of money.

To wade in on the argument Balotelli costs shouldn't be calculated over the the 4 years as you're assuming he's going to 1.play 2. score goals next year the year after and the year after that. From the looks of Brenden he won't be playing anymore.

If you really have to calculate this goals to money bullshit, then you should do it on what they've cost each other so far and thats that.

Astro posted a load of links re Falcao's salary, I was happy to work with those to demonstrate that you plucked a figure out of the air and used your hole to share it with the rest of us.

Given you think that when you agree a salary of £xxk per annum you will be paid 12 months money even if you only work for 9 months I'm not sure you really understand how wages work!

But you don't actually know if he gets 9 or 12 months salary, players are often paid for the year even if their contract only runs for 9 months, depends on negotiations.

Meh, it's all wild speculation but it was a bit of craic throwing it out there Shteve, but it's lost it's humour value now and all we are left with is opinions if you get me. That's why I'm asking anyone if they have some credible sources to cite

And yet we're still 16 points and 7 places above you, with a game in hand [HASHTAG]#perspective[/HASHTAG]

Maybe just putting all your eggs into the "25th best goalscorer in the league" basket wasn't such a great idea?

I think the most credible source is anything that includes information provided by the people paying his salary ie Manchester United. They said they were not matching the player's net take home of £10million a year. It's that straightforward. I don't see why they'd lie as they've been open about the massive wages they're paying other players. They can't hide things like that as they have to publish accounts etc.

Except Balotelli was bought and can be sold to get money back, Falcao was loaned with no possibility of money back so they're completely different types of investment <doh>
