Doesn't matter. So long as it's recognized as a transfer fee, they can break it down over the lenght of the contract on the books. If french taxmen recognize it as a signing fee, on the other hand, i dunno

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Would it be counted as a transfer fee? Don't they have to give the money to Neymar, then he pays for his release via the league?
“I can’t sign you because you don’t talk”, said Jose Mourinho in Santa Clara.
How do they know what he said to Bale, did anyone of them confirmed it? First time I hear about this, apologies if you already talked about it.

Spanish law is that if a release clause is activated full fee must be paid upon completion
He'll go to a big club next Summer.
Yeah it was discussed in the Bale thread. It was agreed that the first five or six words are right, just the last couple which were a bit unclear.
AS is Real's paper mouthpiece or is it Marca? Why would they want to smear their own player like that?
There's definitely some sort of campaign going on here

You can hear it in the video. He actually says "I can't buy you because you don't talk" but same difference. Or it could be "I can't buy you because you don't told me".
AS and Marca are both Madrid based papers.
One of them ( I think AS) isn't in Perez good books though.
I didn't click on the video before, now I did, and don't understand it. Thank you for your answers. Don't really know how to feel about Bale, want him and at the same time, I don't.
Yes, but it doesn't matter. On the books you write the total cost of the deal and divide it however you like. You don't have to write the actual installments as transfer fee for X player
Agreed. Delany is the Lada of journalism.
I concur that Delaney should be temporarily banned. He's literally making it up as he goes along. @Raoul
Pardon i don´t understand what you mean, for Barcelona to sell Neymar PSG has to meet his release clause in his contract upon completion of said deal Barcelona has to receive full amount into there account because of Spanish law the fee can´t be split into instalments. for example when the funny story appeared when they said our lawyers turned up with a huge suitcase full of money to pay Herrera´s release clause.
He's saying that you pay it upfront €220m, but you spread the cost of that out over whatever time period you want for your own accounts.
E.g. Lets say you sign Neymar to a 5 year contract even though you pay it up front you write off €44m a year for 5 years rather than entering it in the books as a one off payment of €220m.
Witch hunt has started. Bale will soon beg Ed to come to United.
I read this as €30 million over 5 years and thought thats not so bad....... then read it properly and saw it was per year. Jesus.
It's actually 30€ million net per year
So how do you explain to your auditors what you spent the other 176million on now that it has gone from your bank account. What's the point as Neymar would be an asset
The sums involved makes my head spin. What's even giddier is that Neymar is one player who could actually be worth it.
Hopefully they don't sign him. I can't take another season where Liverpool win the Net Spend Cup again.
Basic accounting would tell you that a fixed asset's cost is spread over its useful life which in this case is the length of the player's contract.
10 days till the Super Cup and we dont seem to have improved a whole lot. For the first time, I am a little worried about this window.
Yeah i think it's got Di Maria written all over it.
On a balance sheet the initial cost of the fixed asset would be included and depreciation written off over the time of the assets life
Apparently everything is fine and Mourinho and the club are faultless, that's the party line according to many on here. The fact is right now we'll finish exactly where we did last year if we don't improve, and fast.
No meltdown, just yet. Let's just hope we've got something up our sleeve.
Wasn't Bale a Utd fan growing? He's British too, played in the league as well. It's a totally different situation.
Spalletti say Perisic deal is off.
Spalletti “Everybody knows there was a negotiation but [as far as I am concerned] Perisic’s move is off now. It is now complicated to replace him with another player and that’s why I will firmly go against his sale”.
Ahhh. Who said we never get any good tweets any more?
All on the Bale train.
Just Matic then.
We now have a younger, more mobile center forward who has been one of the top three goalscorers in the EPL in the last five years.
We now have a talented new center back who, at the very least, provides us with some depth.
We now have a new midfield hot shot (Pereirra) who has been impressive and is desperate to make his mark.
We have Pogba, Miki and Bailly doing a full pre-season with us for the first time. Pogba has had no Euros to tire him out this time around. Watch that kid fire things up.
Martial is looking like going back to his old form. Rashford has been dining with and playing like Ronaldinho (lol). Lingard has been impressive.
And most importantly, Jose has had a full season to observe, experience and build. This is going to be his famous 2nd season when he wins the league.
Plus, Chelsea and Liverpool will have to deal with the distractions of the CL while Arsenal will have to suffer the pains of Thursday night football.
And who says we are done buying?
I always argued that we were not as bad as the league table made us look last season. We were only unfortunate to have so many players out of form. I am betting many of them will be back next season.
Surely, the team is far from perfect, but I wouldn't be too alarmed just yet. Let's relax and see how all the clubs play out the last weeks of the transfer window.
Mourinho was quite clear that if we missed one target, we'd just settle for the other. Seems it's Matic or nobody now.
Maybe Perisic wasn't a target...?
It's a major failure on our part as a club if we do not sign a winger (on either side honestly) this offseason. That, CDM, and Striker were incredibly important.
Maybe we can be optimistic about the upcoming season because whenever we had good windows we had terrible seasons
I've always said there's lots of time but if we don't have somebody in by the first game of the season I'll be pissed off.
Absolutely mind numbingly bored with this transfer window now, ok we got Lindelöf and Lukaku in nice and early, but they have not significantly added to the squad when you consider we have Lost Zlatan and Rojo to long term injuries, reading through all the tweets and rumours etc, it makes no sense to me that our supposed targets have'nt been signed up, Matic is not wanted by Chelsea who have bought his replacement and lining up more midfield options, so where's the problem? Perisic is available at Inters valuation, so pay up or move on, Sanchez (maybe a star of the future) is'nt wanted at Munich, Fabinho seemed keen to move on like the rest of his Monaco team mates, Neymar, Sanchez, Verratti, Marhez all seem unsettled and likely to move, for Christ sake, AC Milan have virtually bought a new first team!
I understand that clubs are looking for Stella signings, but who exactly are we seriously interested in ? If it is just Matic & Perisic then for Christ sake just sign them a start integrating them into the squad.....aaaggghhhh, just bloody buy s

Thanks, that has calmed me down..for now

Well, we had an absolute Clattenburg of a window when Moyes started and that season was the infamous Olympiakos away season.
