Surely a premiership side could snap him up if they're accepting £8.2m. they were talking £30m+ last summer. He's only 28.
|
|
By:
the problem is his wages he's on 200k a week at Inter (or something similar)
|
|
By:
He should at least give Norwich a try first. He can be Wes Hoolahan's back-up.

So how are Galatasary affording them? Surely he'd rather play in the UK. Half of the Turkish league games are decided before a ball is kicked.
|
|
By:
I assume Galatasaray can only afford him by asking club sponsors to help out.
Surely a prem club would want him, seems strange. |
|
By:
Why would a prem club take him?
He's finished and only interested in a big pay cheque He's been a complete passenger at Inter since they won the CL. |
|
By:
Because he's only 28 and still a decent player.
Could it be that he's just been lacking in motivation since winning everything under Mourinho? Obviously his wages are very high but i still think he'd be a decent signing for a lot of clubs. A new club/challenge might be what he needs? |

Formal negotiations began on Tuesday and it is reported the Netherlands international has been offered a €6m (£4.9m) per season wage package to make the move to the Turk Telekom Arena

feel sorry for QPR

By:
Surely this is a poor move for him, greedy as some have said, moving to what is frankly a footballing backwater to play lower standard of football
|
|
By:
Are you joking?
Galatasary are in the knockout stages of the champions league |
|
By:
scraped through in a group with cluj and braga, hardly impressive
|
|
By:
Surely this situation says something about the player. ManU could step in and take him for this money and match those wages easily. I would suggest that there may be some other reason/baggage to explain the lack of "big club" interest here..
|
|
By:
cluj, braga and err, manchester utd, who they beat.
Galatasary are a big club |
|
By:
His a class player and going to a class team. League isn't the best but nevertheless contains some huge derby games. CL will play a factor no doubt, as its helped GS get back on the European map. Melo and him in the middle of the park will be impressive.. if only they still had ARDA..
onwards and upwards for both parties here i believe. |
|
By:
Galatasary are a big club in the same sense that Celtic and Rangers are big clubs. Bigger financial muscle in fact, but I think most would have expected this player to make a move to a big club within one of the more high profile european leagues.

How about this for a question...
where does the turkish league rank in Europe? personally, 1. EPL 2.La Liga 3. Serie A 4. Bundasliga 5. TURKISH 6. French (excluding psg very average and dull league) ... |

Seems to be plenty of money sloshing around in Turkey. They have recently added a major golf tournament with a big prize fun to the euro tour. They are going for the Olympics and wanted to hold euro 2020.
More and more players will be heading east to Turkey, Ukraine, Russia in the next few years as western europe remains paralysed by the economic crisis. It likely other euro countries will follow frances lead an increase the higher rate of tax. Option 1 go to France and pay 75% Income tax or option 2 go to Russia and pay 13%. |

Id go
1. Spain 2. Germany 3. England 4. Italy 5. Portugal 6. Russia 7. Turkey 8. France |

id have to agree with your comment as the global climate undoubtedly plays a role within football too, however you can not call GS rich for semi-splashing out on one MAJOR signing when you look at the dealings made in the three other major leagues. this gaston ramirez cost Southampton, a newly promoted side, more than this.
in addition i do not rate the Portuguese league in the slightest, porto are a shadow of the team they once were and benifica/sporting and braga are not feared opponents to many other European teams. |
