Zlatan Ibrahimović

[ForeverBlue92]

If we had the balls to sign him and play him against that RS defence he would have got a hat trick. We would have broken our curse and I wouldn't care if he played again, that would have been worth however many millions we paid for him.

I'm honestly baffled as to why we never went in for him.

Free transfer

18 month contract

Would have allowed DCL & Kean to learn off one of the best.

Baffling our recruitment policy - Brands needs to start pulling his finger out and get out of this stubborn "OLE JANUARY AINT NO TIME FOR BUSINESS" mentality.

Swoosh!

I guess FFP went over your head, unsurprisingly.

You’re baffling

Unbelievable.

"The club and the striker have agreed on a deal until the end of the current season with an option to extend the contract for the next one," Milan said in a statement.

The six-month deal is reported to be worth in the region of 3.5 million euros ($3.9 million) plus bonuses, according to press reports.

He earns less than bloody Tosun - and was clearly a free transfer as he was a free agent.

Absolutely no defending the club not getting him in when we have DCL, Kean and Niasse on the books.

If you actually think that then I cannot help you unfortunately.

I've just shown you the proof.

Unless media reports are now lying in some weird conspiracy to protect Marcel Brands?

LOL so we can bid £38 million and £52 million for Doucoure & Zaha (both likely offered contracts in excess of 80k+ a year) but we couldn't afford a free transfer of a bloke earning less than Tosun who's just gone out on loan

- I suggest you are the one who as usual knows sod all but keeps playing the forum Oracle.

No you haven’t, you’ve shown me figures that state he’s earning €3.5m for a 6 month contract, which would work out at €7m per year, which would mean Tosun is earning over €140k a week going by your weird comparison. He isn’t.

How does a free transfer affect FFP? It's based on purchases and sales.

For 6 months I would have taken him 100% and if he's scoring at a 1 in 2 rate (the same as what a £50 million+ striker would cost to sign without wages included) offer him a further 12 month deal.

I just find it baffling when we need an experienced striker we didnt even make an approach. Had he signed we wouldn't have lost at the pit with him up top and he would have likely pushed us to a top 6 finish.

Wages is also included in FFP.

He wouldn’t have fancied coming here. He has played for the biggest sides in every country. Milan offered him chance to continue that.

Supposedly can only increase wages by 7m per year due to ffp (this is assuming no sales etc) which is about 130k per week
