Ibra 600k per week deal.

Stopped reading after that.

Yes but we do have two quintillion, four hundred and thirty two quadrillion, nine hundred and two trillion, eight billion, one hundred and seventy six million, six hundred and forty thousand fans don't forget

Even with those figures we'd still be struggling.

I actually don't think it would be that bad of a deal, on a one year basis, considering you don't have to pay a transfer fee. The big negative though is it sets a dangerous precedent in wage expectations.

If we don't secure Champions League football for next season, which is looking less and less likely, I'd argue there's little point going after a very expensive guy at the tail end of his career.

If it turned out to be say £20m in wages over a year, would we not be better off spending £50m on Lukaku and £50m on his wages over five seasons?

Ibra hasn't played in the PL, comes with something of an attitude, wouldn't have the same incentives to succeed as a younger striker on a long term deal, and, despite his relative fitness for a guy of his age, there's still always an increased risk of injury when people are approaching their mid-30s.

Wouldn't make any sense to me, and would resemble a we-want-a-galactico type signing,

never will be be 600k, it will be around the same as rooneys wages

My thoughts exactly. Maybe if Rooney goes and we need some experience. Otherwise I'd rather we avoided Ibrahimovic.

no players in top leagues come on frees. There will always be a signing on fee involved and that can be huge too.

Don't want him unless he earns no more than Rooney. We shouldn't be paying anyone more per week ever again. It's becoming obscene.
