At least Short managed to shame Moyes into leaving without a payoff.

quote:

Short told Sunderland’s website: “I pursued the services of David Moyes for a considerable period prior to his appointment last summer, which makes the announcement of his departure difficult for everyone concerned. Having worked tirelessly throughout the campaign to avoid relegation from the Premier League, David has chosen to leave the club without compensation, which is testament to his character."

I think it's a sad reflection on the gambling culture around the game that these stupid bets are being offered in the first place

Rumblings are that they're offering £50m which is loving nuts for a guy in the last year of his contract.

If I am not mistaken I believe that when transfers happen a new deal is usually made as well.

Anyone have any sources on this Alexis stuff? I don't doubt he'll leave, but I'm not seeing this anywhere.

And if you thought Arsenal had failed to replace their stars in the past, hoo boy just wait to see what they do when they can't even promise CL football.

Doesn't seem that crazy to me. Arsenal don't want to sell and if Sanchez becomes a free agent he will want a huge signing bonus. RVP was in a similar situation and went for £25m to Man Utd 5 years ago. I would guess that transfer fees are probably up 100% compared to 5 years ago, if not more.

You are correct. But he's free to negotiate in six months and I don't think his sign on fee would exceed the transfer fee.

Apparently City are in for him so that'll drive up the price. At that price I'd pass because there's a chance it would mean Aguero leaving, and I'd rather have him.
