CONFIRMED Cameron Archer signs for the Blades - 4 year contract

[Sheffsteel]

If we can get Archer in on top of Doyle and Hamer I will be well chuffed.

Tbh, way it’s been going. I’d given up any hope. Dilly dallying and fkin around is no good for anyone, club, players, staff and fans

The only way to stop the dilly and dallying is to act like Chelsea....identify a target and pay what ever they want.
However we have a budget.....so we're trying to play a clever game of poker. The down side is....everything gets dragged out.

Also we've always had a decent budget, which has now been topped up with the Sander and Illy money.
The Prince explained in his interview....he'd prefer people to think we're skint as it helps negotiations.
However.....as expected and I don't blame them really.....no one believed him.

We've still got a few more players lined up....if we don't get our 1st choice targets then we have drop down to the 2nd choice targets.
Also there's the complication of.....temporary loan deals......which is a way of bringing in star players for 1 season.....that are realistically affordable.
If we're after a Man City star....and Pep has privately agreed (on principle) to let his player join us on loan but he says he needs to buy another midfielder first.
We can hardly say to Pep "come on stop fkin around, is he our player or not?"

Got an idea on timings mate? Likely to be done before Forest?

 

[Paisley Blade]

Hamer isn't coming, but I think Archer is definitely on.


Hamer isn't coming, but Archer could definitely be on.

We had him lined up to come in January to replace Khadra, but the embargo put pay to that.

Lolz

 

[Gin&Juice]

The 2nd finest archer.

No, we’ve opened talks with villa about a permanent transfer

Akpom dead then now?

 

[NateDogg]

Akpom dead then now?

I know he was crap before he went to boro but that'd a bit harsh.

 

[Rifleman ITK]

Yea mate

 

[Gin&Juice]

Yea mate

Give us something positive Rifle

 

[Rifleman ITK]

Give us something positive Rifle

We’ve opened talks with villa, see how that one turns out.

 

[crazyblade1889]

Sorry to say but this one’s off. I understand United won’t agree to a buyback clause. We’ve already lined up another player.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

He's on the bench with Olsen now asking for pub recommendations. Olsen's claiming Sheffield has slippy pint glasses as he kept spilling his everywhere.

Won't agree to any buy back clause at all or just the one that Villa have suggested for Archer?

The one Villa has suggested but they have made that non negotiable

What bollocks no it’s not off

Not much ITK info from your previous posts. How do you suddenly know about this?

We have asked all summer for archer and have only just begun negotiations

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Really not a fan of buy back clauses.
Matching rights, sell-on fees etc. fine.

Exactly its essentially a loan where we take all the risks.

All due respect but where the fuck have you come from? One moment you’re saying Benie Traore isn’t fit to lace Billy Sharp’s boots the next you’re acting like you know shit. The two together don’t compute.

 

[Harry's Game]

We really need to go all in on this one, we currently have nothing up front.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Yea mate

So Akpom was PH‘s number one target yet the deal is off before we’ve even placed a bid?

 

[LJBlade]

So Akpom was PH‘s number one target yet the deal is off before we’ve even placed a bid?

Possible that initial discussions indicated the cost would go above what we were willing to spend and we’ve walked away before putting an ‘official’ offer in

We definitely bid but we don’t want to pay what boro want it’s that simple.

What do they want?

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

But you’re buying at a lower rate than you would be. I’m sure if we threw £30m down with no add ons they’d accept without the buy back.

It's not a loan as we have bought him and can sell him.
It's just that if we do (and it depends on wording of clause) Villa have first dibs if Archer is succesful, so we'll stiĺ make profit on him whilst he's been good for us on the pitch

"Buy-back clauses in transfer agreements are used primarily to give a selling club the security of being able to repurchase a promising player at a set fee should the player excel in the future."

yeah depends if the clause is like something they can trigger anytime (so we want to keep they want to buy him back) or its a guaranteed price for them if we do decide to sell

 

[YES Blade]

Comes down to the details of the buy back.

If it’s only £2m-£5m above our purchase amount then it’s a shit deal, but if it’s £10m above with a 20% sell on clause then I’d be fine with that.
