Is the £5m 'fee' essentially them agreeing to pay his wages in full.

[7evens]

Well, that's what's agreed upfront. A year is a long time in football.

[7evens]

Leaves them about 20k short from his reported salary.

If, on the other hand, it's in the form of a loan fee and the wages are on top, then it's a fair old sum for a bloke who apparently has to return home.

Liverpool will pay £5m, plus £110k per week and all relocation expenses according to the young guns bloke in the Metro.

[7evens]

On the other hand, should his efforts contribute enormously to their CL qualification, then presumably, the scousers will see it as money well spent.
All a bit, if in one hand, **** in the other, really.

for the privilege of having this lad for 12 months?

More of course when you actually work out the number of weeks when football is played.

Not having that. Easy thing to believe as a source of comfort when we are deemed to have lost out on a player. Madness surely.

I would suggest Albert Aquilani was a wiser signing than this one - wd aw

But it would fit with the rumours that we were prepared to pay £2M upfront and £80k per week (which is still essentially £120k per week!!), good luck to Madrid if Liverpool are paying £5M plus his full wage, brilliant deal for a player that would probably play 10 games this season.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

which would make him, a loanee, the highest paid player at the club I think.

Terrible scenes.

[Free SL]

but he was a free transfer when they signed him (as a potential world star), so £110k doesn't sound too ridiculous.

I'll be honest, my knowledge of Sahin is limited to the last 2 or so weeks, and a couple of games when he was playing in Germany. My informtaion could very easily be complete cock.

[Luis Anaconda]

ever revealed or rumoured about. I have seen nothing

unless it's ¤110k, not a hige difference I know.
