so why didnt mvilla buy out the rest of his contract

[pattayaabbey]

if he was so desperate to come now, just a thought like

 

[Iceman97]

I don't know, tweet him and ask him.

 

[pattayaabbey]

no i will ring him instead, right now where did I put his number

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Why should he?

 

[johnny69]

Why should he?

Exactly - and why did he come to London if we hadn't given him some expectations something was going to happen - I can't believe this one.

 

[b1gals]

Because he's a footballer. Money always comes first.

Is it as straightforward as that like? They wanted 7mill from Sunderland, he probably has about 1.5mill in wages for the next few months. Does he just say to them 'look I want to pay the remainder of my contract off, heres 1.5 mill" and do they then just say something in Russian that means 'Aye Yann nee bother'.

Stop defending the club. We've fucked up massively here, no two ways about it

I'm going to stick my neck out and say that with lawyers in Russia for so many weeks as Moyes confirmed, they don't just not answer the phone. This is all a game of smoke and shadows, I have no doubt he will be signing a SAFC contract.

Just not sure when

He's been told all summer we would sign him

It'll be under your missed calls in the log Martin

Every scenario depends on his club agreeing to it. Whilst under contract they can do or ask for anything they want.

 

[daveyspants]

Of course blame the club, with no evidence ffs some on here..... besides he had some shite games for us, or is that happily forgotten?

 

[sick]

I'm sure everybody expected Rubin to lower their demands, it's irrational that they didn't. They've just bitten their nose off to spite their face, or rather to spite us.

 

[pattayaabbey]

how did we fuck up

 

[Antidotes]

How can people still not spell his name correctly ffs

 

[Graieb]

f***ing thick some people like, I know footballers get paid a lot but that doesn't mean they can just stump up millions to get out of a contract when they feel like it.

 

[pattayaabbey]

but now pay 7 mill or wait 4 months and pay nowt, errrrm knaa i will just wait.

This.

 

[Spargel]

Could he not just buy out his contract and we give him signing-in fee of equivalent amount? Or slightly higher wages, meaning we pay £1.5m rather than £7m?
