Dave, real talk here buddy. Why do you believe the 10m sign in fee, and even if it is, who gives a flying flip? Just smile man. Just one time. You’ll feel better.

I read it somewhere and was staggered. Just need that to be confirmed as untrue. I cant seem to get that though.
 
Luckily for us free transfers can be signed outside of the transfer window. And seeing as we take a few weeks to finalise everything, we could still pull this off after Thursday

With a sensible contract no doubt.

I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth here. Free is free. It's just that the nosebag, stable and vets bills over time will be enormous.

Yes. Fees are huge these days. Take the Johnny Evans transfer for example. He was sold for £3.75m and his agent got £4m. I know it’s not exactly the ame but it gives you an idea of what extra payments are like.

That's not really the same like. I cant imagone the fee Bernard gets would be shared with his agent. Or maybe so. I'm confused over this. It looks a great deal, then I think: "hold on, would I have been chuffed before this summer at getting him for free or for a fee?" and I think, "no".

I know it’s not the same. You can take that from the section of my text where I said its not exactly the same!!

I have literally no idea what the typical signing on fee for a free agent in the PL is. Maybe if someone could provide comparisons it could assuage me.

Someone has already provided a great example of a fee relating to Jonny Evans (and he wasn’t even on a free). His agent demanded a huge signing on fee for both him and the player (as they were getting him cheap due to relegation release clause)- somewhere in the region of £4m was mentioned for the agent. I recall reading City walked away due to the demand. That’s for Jonny Evans.
Signing on fees and agent fees are ridiculous. Pogba’s agent apparently got around £40m from his transfer to Utd.

I really wouldn’t get het up over it.

Most agencies get 10% of value of fee. Some agents get paid through weekly renumeration via player to; again approx 5-10%.

As Bernard is free I would deem agency’s fee to be negotiated due to saving on transfer fee.

Ok, well that's understandable to me in those terms then. Thanks.
