Nicko om Cisse:
On Cisse.
His wages are already huge...and he will not be coming for less, especially when there is major interest elsewhere.
The size of that salary is a ´shock´ - as are the other extras - but you only find them out when you [a] know what you have to spend and [b] speak to the people who look after him.
[a] only became known when you stayed up and then added the sale of Phil Jones to the kitty and [b] has only just been established.
It is clearly a lot of money. The past few days have confirmed that salaries have gone mental for top strikers. You only really find that out when you chase good ones - and in ALL cases just now there are other clubs out there competing for these targets.
From what I gather Vucinic´s complete package and fee plus the amount of opposition about has just about ruled him out. Another top European striker has also been scrubbed from the list. Others have been looked into, investigated in full and are now being weighed up with the help of calculators.
There are some new names whose availability have come up...and maybe at a good time.
Got to say that the last week has been as crazy as I have ever heard it at this club. An awful lot of inquiries, some cracking names.
But it is about signing people and delivering.
Major test. However you have a fighting chance and won´t be giving up easily.
EVERY player you have asked about is over-priced. So the top people are going to have to swallow it and get spending. I am sure the cost of this whole exercise is MUCH more than anyone expected.
But that is Premier League football in the summer of 2011.
