Lots of cash. Well, lots promised, anyhow. How's their credit?
Would it be worth it?
Can they provide him with a team?
Does it matter?
Lots of open questions.

I, personally, think he would be better off continuing to look
elsewhere.

They have to have a bank guarantee for several months wages I'm pretty sure.
So if they're offering him enough he only has to ride for them for a year
and then it doesn't matter. Remember that he's still very young.

Yes. Astana needs Contador a lot more than Contador needs Astana.

True, but AC can get that sort of money from other sources that would
be a lot more reliable. I would look elsewhere for a similar, but
more stable, deal.

You can bet that he's made a deal that locks that money into his name.

Most money comes from endorsements, not team salary.

Not necessarily. Big names get big salaries and bigger endorsements.
Smaller names get small salaries and perhaps no endorsements.
