I hate that term.  Every signing, whatever team\player, always ends with fee "plus add ons!"

 Yes, I am easily irritated....

Ok, need a hug?

That's how business works even out of sports. Most people don't pay their house in full when they're buying it.

No but you agree a set price for example you pay your £250,000 mortgage at a monthly rate. You don't make an offer of say £200,000 and if the house is still standing in 5 years I'll add another 50,000. That would be an add on I think you're referring to installments?

Exactly.  In the past you paid the fee, that was it.  This add ons craze must be fairly recent.  There may have been one now and again, I think uncle Ken had to pay an extra fee to Reading if Kerry Dixon played for England, but now it's like every single signing has some form of add on.
