Markoasis Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Yep Richards signed a huge contract extention with CIty recently.... as soon as he signed it I believed he'd be on his way this summer!! Seems a common practice the club / player to get a longer the contract signed ......... the longer he's tied to the more they can get for him and he can command!!

Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 - England International - Very Young & Talented - Long Term Contract Surely you're looking at £15-£20mil? Whack another 10 million on for the fact that City will charge United well over the odds for him, because they are fierce rivals, these transfer just don't happen and when they do....they are for mega bucks (e.g Figo to Real Madrid).

jsslatic Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 If we do get big bucks for this deal, would that mean that officially Micah would overtake Denis Irwin (?) as our most expensive sold player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonBlueLad Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 If we do get big bucks for this deal, would that mean that officially Micah would overtake Denis Irwin (?) as our most expensive sold player? That's Barrett. Some days you can just make out his face in the Rochdale Road End. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordy Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 City have all the money they need now and they have him under contract so why would they sell ? doesn't make any sense. the other point i've never known bookies to take bets on transfering of players ever as they would make considerable losses.

pdw76 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Forget Micah, just get taggert to sign Eards. He's better than that, I wouldn't want him anywhere near a red shirt (bar Wales of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigfinLatic Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 He's better than that, I wouldn't want him anywhere near a red shirt (bar Wales of course). Whatever.... United can quite happily sign Micah and Eards and win every trophy in sight... whilst we batter this division with £5-10m in our back pocket.... "Choo Choo.... all aboard the gravy train... Micah has a 1st class ticket to the Nike ballpark!" If Micah goes for £20m this will be the best close season in history.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 It's interesting looking at what he said when he signed the new contract: "The manager has been great. We're going to fight for Europe, which is a massive achievement." So if Eriksson goes and they don't make the Uefa cup place...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't look so good at City next season fighting relegation He will move to top 4 side i think to keep his profile with Capello Mega bucks £20 mill i hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 yes but how much do you actually,hand on heart think tta's would give to shez for players. that kind of money only comes along once in a while,and whilst my heart would say give him 3 million to spend,i doubt he would actually get anywhere near that. I don't think they'd give it him in one big splurge, but maybe use it over 2/3/4 seasons. 20% of £15m would be £3m (being conservative about it), an extra £750k per season, spent wisely, should do the trick. £15k a week on the wage bill? Wouldn't want to see 7/8 new players, just 3/4 that would make a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you wouldnt expect that... but imagine if he got £1m, or even £750k... or even £500k... thats a whole new squad in this division with the current transfer climate... and never mind the obsession with transfer fees, it suddenly makes the cashflow and balance sheets a million times healthier... and suddently we can afford higher wages... which in this era of no-transfer fees and players moving at end of contracts is worth much more...

Scapegoat Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 For biggest Latics 'pay days' - Irwin is quite down the list at £625,000. Rick Holden deal was quoted at £1.2 million (though that had high valuations of Redmond and Pointon), and wasn't Milligan a £1 million rated deal well? Difficult with football though - £625 was a lot more money in 1990 comparitively. Agree with the comment that IF this deal brings the club £2-3 million, this needs to be used sustainably.

A decent investment in youth development, perhaps. Hopefully produce another Micah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't want to see 7/8 new players, just 3/4 that would make a big difference. Trouble is, I think that was the strategy this season. Core spine of high cost, er, quality: Crossley, Gregan, Thompson, Davies, Hughes and poss Liddell, and a couple of pricey loans such as Constantine with the smattering of kids. The plan went a bit wonky when they all got injured, many of them at the same time. So I think we should spread things a little thinner and expand the squad a bit.

Didnt Jobbo go to Leeds for a mill also? think we got 3/4 mill for shaggy marshall also when he joined ispwich in 1993. Not too mention the million we got off aberdeen for Paul Bernard(my god that ws good business)3/4 mill for warhurst to wednesday. ill stop now cos no ome likes a smart ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
