Crikey, really not sure on this for the money

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Crikey - That is a lot of money for someone I’m not sure is a good/great PL keeper yet.

Hopefully, he proves me wrong and keeps improving, which he has done at every stage of his career so far tbf.

hopefully we Can just deduct the sell on fee from that!

Same.

 

[Greg.]

No Cakir then?

 

[Niceguyeddie]

Shit ! I thought I was in the cakir thread
I've prematurely ejaculated and I can only apologise

£18.5m offer accepted - breaking news on Sky Sports News

Not sure what I think of that

 

[JayGreen17]

Jeez!

 

[INTERUNITED]

The sell on clause is invalid as well apparently as he's coming back to the club which sold him.
£6 or £7 million too much in my opinion. Wilder must rate him though, so if it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me.

 

[essexblade73]

Then are we going to be told there is no money to buy other players?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Bonus bladey blade points.

 

[S40BLADE]

We have some serious budget if were willing to pay that.

 

[Beans]

re sell-on clause.

 

[true99blade]

Significant downgrade from Henderson.

 

[YES Blade]

Hopefully we’ll be getting a few million off the fee due to the sell on clause.

Seems a lot of money for a keeper with only one season in the Premier League. I also wasn’t that impressed with him to be honest.

 

[s4-blade]

I was favouring cakir but now this has happened I’m actually really relieved. We’re getting an English player who will fit (Back) into the group who knows the manager, club and league.

And with the sell on clause and academy product clause thrown in, it’s only about £12m including add ons. So it makes a lot of financial sense too and is a lower risk.

Let’s just get some wrist strengthening drills for him.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

re sell-on clause.

That’s an even more outlandish fee then.... £ 21.75m

That is ALOT!

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

Well it isn't actually 18.5 because we have a 15% sell on clause so we have paid about 15.7m

 

[Danetheblade]

Well it isn't actually 18.5 because we have a 15% sell on clause so we have paid about 15.7m

It's 18.5 as the sell on Clause is included in the price.

 

[BanderSerge]

Please god, no. Hopefully he asks for too much and it gets kyboshed

 

[Beans]

That’s an even more outlandish fee then.... £ 21.75m

That is ALOT!

Do you reckon that’s what it means? I haven’t had enough coffee today and couldn’t work it out one way or the other.

 

[dc_blade]

One of the best young keepers in the country for a quarter of a Kepa? Looks a good bit of business to me.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

For me, while current Ramsdale feels like a downgrade on Henderson (I think most replacements mentioned would have been fwiw) he probably also fits the bill Wilder mentioned about signing players that we feel we can improve here. He’ll be confident that Darren Ward coaching him, and the environment, will help that.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Well it isn't actually 18.5 because we have a 15% sell on clause so we have paid about 15.7m

the sell on fee is included in that - apparently

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

Bloody hell that is a big fee then.

 

[JohnDenver]

re sell-on clause.

Seems a few million more than I’d expect.

But I’d wager 18.5 is the ceiling. If we end up paying that he’ll need to succeed.

 

[Lucky1979]

They've had our pants down here.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Do you reckon that’s what it means? I haven’t had enough coffee today and couldn’t work it out one way or the other.

Hmm - My reading was ‘swallowed up’ meant that the 18.5m included what they would have had to pay us back.

though I’ve only had the one coffee today
