wouldn't a 3 year contract mean we'd have to offer him a new contract next season, sell him to avoid losing money or lose money the season after? cos let's face it, this wouldn't be anything more than a strategic career choice, not the start of a long term match made in heaven.
3 year contract would be totally pointless, risky game to sign a player at that price on such a short contract. As mentioned we either offer him a new contract next season (probably on more money), or we sell him 2 years down the line.
He's 25 so there's no logic from our point of view on signing him for 3 years, from his point of view however it could be perfect to move onto to a more successful club in a couple of years.
It's all horseshit. Journos have embarrassed themselves on this transfer.Originally Posted by Terry Tuffnutz
The Guardian guy who talked about the 3 year contract has backtracked.
"It is possible that I may have understood timescale structure of deal (transfer) to have been timescale structure of deal (contract)..."
"Put it this way, I just spoke to someone (not original source, other person) who effectively said: "no, you bellend, payment, not contract".
"hehe so effectively you are saying that the "3 years" might actually be the length of time #afc pay the fee, not contract length?

"Apologies. At least the fundamentals remain the same: Higuaín move to Arsenal finally very close."
A worse cover up than pretending your cousin was posting instead of you.
he's at the airport, then he plays a match, then he has a press conference, then florentino perez makes a phone call, then he's in the studio, then higwayne poses in a juventus shirt, then he holds another press conference denying he was in a juve shirt, then perez is back at the studio taking bribes, then tevez looks disfigured, then llorente who everyone has forgotten and no longer cares about appears, then higgs boson flies his head into an arsenal shirt, then back at the press conference he admits anything can happen in football, then some serious zoom in fillers, then money dropping to show this is serious big football biz, then perez rejects taking a bribe, then jorge higgy slurs through some nonsense, then more money is printed, then ancelotti signs off the deal, then higwane goes back up the escalator, then gonzo shifts his head from a madrid shirt to an arsenal one, then there is nothing else.
so it's happening
about bloody time. is this the year we finally see some change? if only we done this a few years ago, would have saved causing a civil war at the club. we were never asking for huge amounts to be spent, just buy the experienced players needed regardless of price tag.
it would have prevented it getting to this.
FFS, are we signing Suarez or not???

and in a world where footballers are on stupid money, 100k a week is a steal.
very surprised city arent in for him. they need a striker and he fits the bill, and is much cheaper than what they're looking at.
get it done arsenal.
Who?ARSENAL last night smashed their transfer record when they agreed a £23million fee for Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain.
The Argentine will undergo a Gunners medical today and is expected to sign a three-year £100,000-a-week deal.
Higuain, 25, has been given permission by Madrid to fly to London following weeks of negotiations. And boss Arsene Wenger has made it clear he wants the powerful goalscorer on board when Arsenal head for their tour of the Far East next Thursday.
The deal, which has been confirmed by the player’s father Jorge, comes as a huge relief for Wenger, who had promised Arsenal fans to spend serious money this summer after eight years without winning a trophy.
The Gunners’ previous biggest signing was the £16.5million they paid to sign Santi Cazorla from Malaga last summer and propels the club back into the big time.
Now Wenger wants to build on Higuain’s imminent arrival by pressing ahead with negotiations for Wayne Rooney and Julio Cesar.
Rooney is still weighing up his future at Manchester United but would demand in excess of £200,000 a week.
Brazilian keeper Cesar, who has a £90,000-a-week contract at QPR, will be allowed to leave Loftus Road as a free agent just to get him off the wage bill.
The ex-Inter Milan keeper, 33, wants to stay in London despite interest from Barcelona.
And Wenger believes that the capture of Higuain will convince other world-class stars to join.

he is player we admire very much, yes, but also do not forget, we have absolutely no-one else who can play there, so the timing is not right at this moment.
It's the sun so it's bs
