So what is the point then? Either you're presenting it as a realistic transfer in which case it's pointless because it isn't realistic at all, or you're presenting it as a complete hypothetical in which case it's pointless because of course we would want one of the world's best strikers if we could have him. Either way it's a waste of time.

We gave them a signing on fee that city used to pay part of his wages.
Inra is a bigger name than ade and would bring a lot of the worlds attention on us. It would please the sponsors and help sell merchandise. We'd probably have more games shown so increased tv revenue etc...

Technically we paid City to pay him half his wages. Clever accounting.
So, to touch base, the point was around a "better player than (Berahino) from Outside of England for £20m".
If the reports are true, Zlatan is available for very little money at all, if even for free (in his final year of a contract PSG are reluctant to honour).
He's reportedly on 15 million Euros per season. If we loaned him for a season (HYPOTHETICAL, before people lose their minds again) then the club would say "We'll pay £90k a week of his salary and you pay the rest", so the parent club say "Okay, there's a £10m loan fee" (see Falcao).
Result of that would be wages still paid by the parent club, wage structure of loan club unbroken, for less than £20m.
Again, hypothetical, but a GIF made people go insane so who knows what this post will do...

It was a GIF posted in response to "(what is an example of) a better player than (Berahino) from Outside of England for £20m".
The mass hysteria that followed, with cross-examination and skim-reading lead to it being moved to a thread of it's own. If you're looking for a waste of time, your question is probably intrinsically that.

Doubt it. Zlatan had LVG as technical director at Ajax, they dont mix well together.

Isn't he paying 75% tax in france though?
€288k is £202k
So he actually gets £50k a week after tax. Which would be around £90k a week for us before tax.
Easy.

Like we can't afford Adebayor's wages.... which (at the current rate) are/were €241,000 per week...
(for the sake of Maths lost on the quoted poster, Ade is reportedly still receiving £70k p/w from City, plus £100k p/w from us. £170k is €241k at the current rate)

Good point actually, I didn't know about this until you mentioned it.

Aye, sure lets throw in an offer of 90k a week and see what comes back....
I'm genuinely amazed people are even trying to justify this

No-one is trying to justify this. We know it's not going to happen just saying why not?
