That is a gross misrepresentation of Middleby's activities in this transfer, pv4.Originally Posted by pv4
What really happened is Fiorentina offered us 1m for Gallaway and Middleby said "Well, for that kind of cash why don't you take one of our good players?".
What does that really mean??
If say he is on a wage of $300,,000 per year and it is a three year deal then Fiorntina only paid $100,000
!?????
Has nothing to do with his wage. Whatever he was on at the Jets is irrelevant
Assuming the 1 million fee is real then the Jets will receive what's left of 1 million after the FFA get their cut, Beard and his agent get their cut, Beards junior clubs get their allowance
Middleby Gone
Lawrie Out
You sem to be confused.
I am saying if fiorentina are paying him 300,000 per seaon then his total cost is 1,000,000 inlcuding the 100,000 paid to the jets. That is what I am saying by what does it mean???
But you seem to be implying that wage = transfer free... or are you asking if it is part of the value?
Everyone should know €1,000,000 EUR is roughly $1,450,000 AUD which would be close to a A-League record fee, I'm not sure what that is by the way.
De Silva's was $2.5m
The next biggest I could find was Rostyn Griffiths to China for $1.3.
I understand the club won't be recieving the full tranfer, but surely we get enough of it that we could shell out for the spots that are lacking right now, primarily midfield. I mean, Ward is surely gonna be cheap, considering he just seems to want to play wherever he can.
Geez, I hope he can hold a spot over there. Would be great for develoment and hopefully socceroos future
He could be the next Grella/Bresciano. Playing in that league, if successful, will mean stardom for the kid and a guaranteed next World Cup.
No
I am saying is that what i have read of it in the Italian Press... is that the cost to Fiorentina is $1m euros. What I am saying or more precisely what I am asking is What does thsi mean?. Cost is different to transfer fee is it not?
I do not know what the transfer is or what was paid to the Jets, as the press mentioned cost not tansfer fee.
Hopefully the worm is turning and we as a country start getting our players playing again in the top leagues in Europe just like we did 10-15 years ago.
Ever so slowly the doom in Aussie football is lifting and the Socceroos future looks bright
Da silvas wasn't 2.5m. It has the potential to be 2.5m with sell-on fees etc. Initial 500k.
OK
We've made a signing!!!
