It has to be something like that - if this 3m is correct. The Allams bust a gut to save a few quid here and there so they're never likely to sign a deal that loses 5m in four months.
If Marco wanted him and it was the only way to get him to come, I can see them agreeing to it. Very typical City though.
No .it was nowhere near 7 million. All we will have paid is his wages since January. He'll move on and won't have cost us owt.
Sorry badly put. 3 million we'll have paid. The 7 million will have been all add ones. Keeping us in the league etc etc
Doesn't mean we have to sell at 3m, look at the Suarez transfer farce with Arsenal. If several clubs are interested them the 3m will quickly rise
Why will it. All the clubs will just activate the release clause. It's then up to them to give him the most attractive deal.
