City.
And like I asked Learo, who couldn't answer: since you claim we paid the full 11M in variables, how were they spread out?
look up the variables. It is the usual tax shenanigans. The target variables are set relatively low on purpose, but should be treated as a regular transfer fee.
actually Mancheester City made an even higher bid than us... It's only Alexis's will to join us that gave us the upper hand. I know Man City is not really the ideal ones to compare making business with, but still
Actually, they bought Aguero instead of Alexis, and we will probably try to bid 60m to get him from them, far higher than what they paid for him, while we will sell Alexis for less than 20m. Its how we roll.
