Quality deal, he doesn’t care about money anyway he wants a solid project which we have!

still prefer to keep that money for new striker, LB and DMF. and of course prefer to increase KDB wages

Why would we give him a 10 year contract? I know it’s to be an ambassador but we’re gonna have our highest paid player as someone who doesn’t even play

Don’t forget part of that renumeration will be offset by offering him shares in the CFG.

We dont want him, hes a football genius but at his age that kind of money is bad buisness, what’s the estimated income stream on merch and though I would love to see him in blue its 4 years too late
