No, I meant the biggest fee we've received. Think it was Rooney for a long time, but wasn't that beaten by Fellaini last season?
 


Fellaini was 27.5m
Rooney was 29m

Maybe
Thought Rooney was £27m. £10m up front, £10m following year. Then a host of £0.5-£1m add-ons based on achievements capped at £27m, which took 3-4 years to be fulfilled.

Funny thing was I worked on a commercial project with a Man U fan who was a football agent. He told me Man U never did those sort of deals, and the structured dripping of the payment was Everton's doing.

A few years later when the RS bought Carroll from Newcastle for £35m, Newcastle insisted on the cash up front, and got it.
