Florian and the (Slot) Machine

Tbh I imagine it's more, journalists briefed by Leverkusen are saying €150m, this briefed by us are saying £116m. I imagine it's somewhere close to €150m, we've just excluded the speculative add ons from the fee.

Yep it'll end up somewhere in the middle.

We'll have included the "likely to be paid" add ons

Leverkusen will recognise the total.

Similar to the Coutinho and Suarez deals the other way round.

The fees given here are inclusive of addons.
 
Its an unbelievable signing. Still cant understand that we went for it and pulled it off in the end. Fantastic.

German media reporting it at 140 mill.

The clubs reached an agreement on Wednesday evening. The German superstar will move from Bayer Leverkusen to England for a whopping€140 million.

In the end I couldnt care less about the fee. We just got a World class player who will be the future of our attack and spine of the team.
 
Remember when we were doing our 7 Fantasy Bingo players a few months back.

Well, my last pick was reserved for a 10 to replace Slobbers - even in fantasy land I though there’s no fucking chance we’re signing Wirtz (to be fair we’ve been at least linked to every else on my fantasy list since).

So… fucking hell… how can you not get excited about this.

This would be like Zidane actually coming to live in the house he bought… like us signing a 22 yo Steven Gerrard… it’s like Ronaldo telling Fergie to fuck off and signing for Houllier instead… it’s like Simao’s plane has finally lifted off the tarmac!!!

Let me put it another way - it’s like Jude Bellingham choose us over Real and turned out to not be an absolute dick of a person.

THIS IS FUCKING GREAT!!!
 
100 mil up from rising to 116 mil if we win everything in sight and Florian gets some game time,

HAPPY DAY'S 😊

Edit: The 100 mil is paid over 5 years.
 
Reports it’s 116.5.

Close but no cigar.

Just to add to Swiss Ramble's costs, he doesn't fully calculate the wage cost to the club.

£355k per week will probably be something like £300k salary, £55k image rights.

You then need to add social security to the wage costs. That adds £2.2m per year. This is an area where British clubs are worse off than those on the continent as their social security costs usually cap out at around £60-70k per annum, where ours are uncapped.

We'll also probably be funding VAT and tax on the player's share of the agent fee - that will add £6m (total).

So you can add £17m to his overall estimate, plus performance bonuses.
