Sounds like a financial fiddle, amortising the fee over a much longer period ?

They’ve also bought the new centre back Badiashile (sp?) on a 7.5 year deal. It’s their way of maximising their spending power, whilst staying within FFP. It’s not a fiddle, but potentially risky if they don’t adapt to the EPL.

I believe what they're actually doing is amortising the transfer fee over a huge number of years to dodge FFP.
Pretty short term thinking if all they care about is dodging FFP. The additional years of wages commitment somewhat offsets the benefit of amortizing the fee particularly if he turns out to be shit. Quite a risk.

8.5 years ? He must have done something really bad.

If I was a player I don't think I'd sign a contract for that long. It's too much of a risk of being tied to a club that could leave you on the bench or just go through a long period of transition/relative irrelevance . Careers are fairly short and he's tied to them until he's 30, so all of his best years.
