Sissoko fee not an issue


TRANSFER TALK


Plenty of stories explaining that we may need to give Moussa Sissoko a pay off so he will take a reduction in wages, that would then allow clubs to buy him.

he cost us an initial fee and then we have to pay an annual premium for each year he stays with us, hence if we sell him we don't have to pay the full £30 million.

Daniel levy is no idiot and he wouldn't give a squad player an £85,000-a-week contract if he were paying £30 million for him. he would cover himself and only pay those wages if the transfer fee was low, when you also consider you have to pay agents fees and a signing on fee to Sissoko.

When you look at it rationally and with a grasp of how strong his negotiating skills are, it becomes clear that the Evening Standard reported instalment deal, only if he sees out his contract, is in fact accurate. it's the only deal that makes sense and is another of th innovative deals we saw throughout Europe last summer.

If we accept that then the fee to sell him isn't going to be a great issue, his wages, like Adebayor before him, become the only issue.
