He bought out his Dalian contract and got a signing on fee from us to compensate.
I don't know for certain how much. I saw two reports that I didn't think were 100% reliable say 90k a week in September.
I followed this up with someone I trust and got told the signing on fee would equate to that amount.
Either way, he's on far more than he should be and was handed a 2-year deal with a (club) option for a third, which as a crocked 32-year-old who's played in China /Russia for 2 years is mad. Brands signed off on that deal so it's not a defence of him, I'm glad he's gone.
Right, so you don't know.
He's not on £90k a week, and common sense alone should tell you that given we've just spent no money due to FFP.
Every single scrap of evidence is £43,000, but because you have an agenda you went with £90k.
