The official site says a deal 'WORTH' £3.5 million.

It's probably £1 million up front, then add ons, most probably surrounding promotion. Also, when deals are termed as 'Worth' £X, it often takes account of the player's wages over the term. A long way from 'paid' £3.5 million.

So, 'calm down, calm down'.

It may be a shock to some on here, GT, the way they're creaming their undies! :boss:

i know one signing and all the last weeks are forgiven.

If it was £3.5 million paid up front, Gorman's (and Jim's) neck would really be on the block if he can't handle the CCC! :waaaht:

Don't think your last statement will change not with Briatore anyway:cry::cry:

[Minty]

Sky Sports.com do actually say 'splashed out £3.5 million'.

So I may be wrong, but it's taking a huge risk to sign one unproven-in-England player for £3.5 million, when you've just started at a new club.

Im still not excited they need to back this deal up with more of the same ilk.

If they bring in a striker on a similar deal, there will be a mad rush for Season Tickets. :bad_smile:
