Like private contract details would be in an evening newspaper a couple of days after the event LOL.
We're not going to win the league any time soon. May as well make money out of one of the teams who is, though.
I really don't give a monkey's about add ons but it's swings and roundabouts as we've got a bunch of them included in Firmino's transfer.
Can see our end leaking it as it increases the fee close to our valuation.
Those add ons are fucking laughable. The Sheik should have added on that we get an extra 500,000 every time Sterling scores a hat-trick against Liverpool.
MEN Reporter rings LFC: Hi, Grenville Manctwat here, can I speak to Ian Ayre please.
Switchboard: Hold please.
Ayre: Hi, can I help?
Manctwat: This Sterling lad, what's the transfer contract look like?
Ayre: Hang on, I'll get the file. By the way, you didn't speak to me right?
Manctwat: 'Course not. I'll make your club look good in all this. Honest, No names, no pack drill.
Except it started with Bascombe I think. Funny though.
Looks legitimate to me (from Man City's point of view at least).
1. Not giving in to our demands, thus the inclusion of add ons and (purposely) falling 1 million short of the perceived asking price
2. Success related add ons - CL, title, appearances. (only other criteria would have been FA Cup, League Cup and international caps - all of which are understandably not considered significant 'success' to the buying club)
Won't be surprised they had offered all of the add ons sorely in terms of CL and EPL titles initially.
As for leaking of such info, it's like how details/figures are often diverged in transfers with "undisclosed fees".

Someone's gonna get sacked in that office room for the leak. Probably the copier guy.
People were expecting nice addons, like a million every appearance
Ah, or 100k every time he turns up at training.
5m for his first tantrum
2m per benching
500k per mid season holiday
Previous reports suggested they might be appearance related only.

The initial add-ons were dependent on City being successful in the Premier League and Champions League, but now City have agreed to pay the additional money when Sterling meets a set number of appearances instead.[/article]
How much do you think would be a fair deal. As in an amount where both parties would be happy with it.
With this signing I don't think it's possible for both parties to be fully satisfied
We would always want more, as city could afford to pay it, and city would always feel like they overpaid
Well evidently both parties are satisfied, otherwise Sterling would still be here or there'd be some court case going on.
I think in this case the deal was fair on both sides. I wouldnt have wanted him to be let go for anything less. Most on here think we've done better than City, so the question is by how much? How much would be the minimum people would have let him go for.
None - there shouldn't have been add-ons.
They're nothing but a convenient way for one team to claim they got a transfer paid at a higher level and another to claim they paid at a lower level.
Not when they're public.
Do you know how much we ended up paying for Sterling because of add ons?
We got a huge amount of money for a very good 20 year-old player who didn't want to play for us. He's a careerist. He may well go onto become a world-beater. Who knows? Who cares? Gone now. Good deal for us.
How many starts will Sterling make for City before he moves on to the next "project"? My guess is more than 30, but less than 90. Will City win the league in the next 2 seasons? I doubt it. Champions League? No chance. So basically we're most likely getting 500K to 1M from these add-ons.
He'll be at City for at least 3 seasons and will play for them at least 100 times.
He moved because they are challenging for trophies. And they definitely will be for the foreseeable future. So he'll be there for the foreseeable future.
He doesn't strike me as a malcontent. Just a guy who wants medals and is prepared to go wherever to get them.
Probably ignored because it's more speculation in a sea of speculation.
Oh yes it is.
