I don’t think there will be a significant signing on fee or high wages because we’re not signing him.
On the 1st July Moyes will complete a ‘rag and bone’ round and we’ll pick up nuggets like Coufal, Vardy, Lindelof etc.
Elite level dribbler. Still a development player though as his shooting & passing have to improve.
A big club could pay £50m for him, however we probably can't. But he's a talent and will certainly prove as much in the next two seasons.
He's spent his career playing in Argentina, Holland and for Lyon. Not at a rich club paying big wages. He'll have maybe maxed out at circa £50k p/w salary at his peak.
At 32 and being out of contract there won't be a long list of clubs suddenly...
Key point here is we also dont pay loan players wages directly, ( @Kevsleftpeg perhaps something to be aware of :p )
We would pay a fee to City and they would continue paying his wages.
A Grealish loan would not cost us £350k per week. He's not getting that money anywhere else, so Man City will have to eat the majority. A 12 month loan deal would be circa £150pw, which would be a good bit of business to get a player of that...
I think they're doing a great job and I wish they did something similar 5 years ago when they took us over.
Building a working, smart, deep, knowledgeable sporting sector is the key in today's football business. There's nothing else that...
Rather than Mitrovic at Al-Hilal, this is the lad from there who's likely available to allow for more international player signings. Probably no chance of getting a work permit mind.
