6m wage is just bullshit. How much they think to pay skriniar while offering new contract ? 10m ??
If we’re going to pay Godin 6m/y then we’re definitely about to go give Skriniar 4-5 and Icardi 8-9. Time to start paying more like Madrid and less like Spurs.
But first we need to have the revenue more like Madrid.
Well obviously. But it’s that unending cycle of no revenue -> low wages -> can’t attract top players -> can’t achieve anything -> no prize money/sponsors -> no revenue -> etc. We’re in a moment of relative positivity compared to the last 6 years, it’d be a good idea to bump up the wage structure for players who deserve it (Skriniar, Icardi, Brozovic) to let other top players know that we can afford to pay them competitive salaries.
The funny thing is, if Marotta pulls this deal at Jube (even when they are having tons of defenders already), people would hail him as the purchase of the season.
But Marotta works for us, then someone are still skeptical about salary, while we have zero CB backup next season
Take it like this... We get a good experienced defender, for the next two years, for around 12 millions, what's not to like here?We are not m.city and we can not pay 6m for a backup. Theyre offering icardi 7m but agreed for 32yo defender on 6m. Im not happy with this deal
According to Fabrizio Romano, Godin's salary will be 4.5m plus 1.5m bonuses.
Godin isn't backup. He is a starter and De Vrij will be pushed to backup.We are not m.city and we can not pay 6m for a backup. Theyre offering icardi 7m but agreed for 32yo defender on 6m. Im not happy with this deal
This is more likely. People bring Juventus but ignoring the fact our revenue is already surpass Juventus since last year and we definitely can afford 150m gross wages which now we still far from it.
Let me fix itSigning Godin is good, but our most paid CB should be Skriniar. We exploit him as if his lungs were made of rubber but pay him less than ranocchia. I would feel ashamed looking into his eyes.
