    True. Between a boost in season tickets and Champions League qualification (which he almost guarantees), his £18m a year salary practically pays for itself :56:

    In the same interview he mentioned Celtic, he also talked about playing outside of Europe where there is less pressure and it's better for his family life. That suggests a move to one of the rich Arab clubs, or the MLS or China.

    He'd still earn huge money, the lifestyle would be good, and the football would be easier.

    We couldn't offer the guy huge money or the lifestyle that playing in New York or LA would give him.

    Instead of breaking the wage structure for him, I'd imagine we would offer him like a rolling 1 year contract worth 30k a week and 3m signing on each year.

    I'd guess that's expensive but the advertising and media coverage and merchandise would be huge to off set some of it

    3m a year would still be a pittance to him.

    Man United are willing to offer him upwards of 200k a week, can see him there.

    If he were to go to United he'll earn closer to 300k a week.

    There's no fee involved to get him, which means everyone and their dug will want him which drives his wages up.

    His Agent contradicts himself a wee bit, talking about earning astronomical wages in one sentence and then talking about a surprise move in the next. To achieve both he'd need to go to China really, * move.

    In this day and age a move like that isn't even remotely surprising anyway.

    A real surprise would be here or Malmo for example. :56:

    Massive anti-climax.

    I'd rather he went to United than China at least we can see him on MOTD.

    I think he's a stick on for there.

    They lack both his character and quality on the pitch. Plus he likes Mourinho.

    This.

    Rodgers was unlikely, this is nigh impossible.

    David Opsina is desperate to leave Arsenal.

    £3m being talked about. I rate him and he would suit Rodgers preference of a 'ball playing keeper'.

    Thought he was older than 27. I'd take him at that price, definitely.

    I'd take Ospina defo. We need a better goalie than Gordon.

    Ospina would be a very good signing

    Ospina would be a great signing but its never ever going to happen simply because his wages are too high and why on earth would he join us when he will have offers all over the world at a far higher standard? Would love it if he proved me wrong but cant see it unless we got him on loan but again cant see arsenal loaning him out at his age they would rather sell.

    We're not going to get Ospina. He is on about 50k a week at Arsenal

    Another long shot but Stefan Kiessling didn't have that great a season last year for Leverkusen, Hernandez is firmly the main man there now.

    A player who has always been pretty consistent in Germany and has a vast amount of experience. Would be a Venegoor of Hesselink type signing.

    We need more experience.
