It'll be based on bonuses mind. £40 upfront, £20m when he scores 100 international goals. Further £2m when we win the Champions League
It's to pip Villa to his signature. Not sure if you know, but they're the 5th richest club in England
Telling you, we won't sell Ritchie until Fraser has put pen to paper. Soon as we joint announce Fraser and Rogerio they'll put the bid in with Bournemouth, who I think will snap our hand off.
If it takes us a month to sign a free transfer, will we get this 1 over the line this year? Maybe if we bid soon we can get it done in the January window
It's complicated by Ritchies wages.. He just signed a new contract at nufc.. Bournemouth can't afford to pay the same.. I doubt he'll accept less
Might be part of the "building a deal" nonsense. Agreeing fee's based on his appearances and such. Help pay for his wage package.
17.7 million bid lodged for this player.. No idea if ritchie is included in that but caulken says bid has been made
