more like Aqua -10M
Ganso- >30M
Kaka -loan + probably option to buy for like 20-25M (they will want as much as possible to recover loss)

probably cost around 20m mark paid over 3 years.



Though I love Kaka and would be glad to see him back, I would love fabregas more.

I find that slightly hard to believe. I mean we got 68m for him just two years ago. That would be a HUGE loss for Madrid. Good business for us but I would still rather we go after someone younger, less injury prone, and with the potential to help us for the next 5-10 years.

We'd be getting him on loan. If keeps getting injured, then we simply won't opt for the option to purchase him next summer. Of course, if he keeps getting injured, that would compromise our objectives for this season. It's half a gamble, but my sentimental side pushes for it to happen.

Why 3 years ?

installments. We'll probably pay 12m first year and 4m and 4m.


So we don't have to take the burden of a massive 20m on our shoulder. Ibra deal is 8m a year for 3 years.

He's making around 10m on wages per year. Yes its a massive loss but he ways down their budget heavily and takes up a spot for a player who could be performing and making that much.


For madrid, they'll take the loss just to get him off their wage bill.

Kaka would be another Sheva all over. for our sake, we must avoid this!!

I'd rather we wait until January for Ganso.

I think we're gonna go for the cheapest solution, and that's about it. One player will come if you ask me, maybe - and just maybe - two!

I just read that Axel Witsel joined Benfica. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Btw...anyone know how that Moutinho kid is playing.

well

True.10m is a huge wage. How much will he have to drop that for us to take him? At least 5m? Maybe lower?

That's about right, we no longer have Pirlo's or Dinho's huge wages on our payroll so the management have more room to flex their muscles when offering contracts.

Not to mention some other wages that have been removed like Janku's for example who also got a good amount considering the fact that he did nothing but sit on the bench

He still has 4 years of contract with Madrid, that is €40 million of savings for them.

As for Kaka', he'll probably lower his wage to 6-7 million max, which I think we can afford.

Ah ok. I didn't know the length of his contract. That savings would make up for the lost transfer fee (somewhat). The question then becomes is he worth it at 6-7 million? I'd have a hard time justifying it. At 4.5-5m it looks more attractive but I'm not fond of the idea that we would be gambling this season on Kaka's health/form.
