West Ham in for Solanke at Bournemouth.
Wouldn't be surprised if the knock on effect is Bournemouth going for Archer.

50m buy back?!

I should think we would agree to that!

I assumed the buy back would be somewhere under 30m - and I'd have no problem with that if we're paying under 20m

If the buy back being discussed is really anywhere near 50m then the first thing we do to improve our offer is concede at least 10m on that amount

15m rising to 18m based on PL goals
20% sell on clause
37m buy back

Surely that's mutually agreeable?

It seems that it's us who want the £50m buy-back

"Nixon also reports that a fee of £20m is required for Villa to accept the sale of the England U21 striker. Villa want a buyback clause – and Sheffield United want that to be worth £50m. So, plenty to happen."

Leeds told how much Cameron Archer will cost

Expensive, but it could be a long-term investment

If I was Villa, I'd be responding with "What part of 'twenty' and 'million' do you not understand?"

If the fee is 20m, I think the buyback should be at least double that, so fair play to the blades on that front.

However, it's small potatoes because we won't be paying 20m anyway.

As much as i would like to see him at the Lane i think we should move on from him . Villa want our pants down anyway we dont have 20 mill so lets concentrate on another one and stop kidding our selves. .Up to 15 mill yes but 20 mill no.

My memory of the Brewster reporting was that it was about £18-19m up front, with £5m in add-ons and a buy-back at circa £36-38m.
So double would seem about normal.

Opefully we haven't paid any add ons, especially if they are appearance or goal related. there's not been many of either

I wouldn't think he's done enough to trigger any add-ons.

 

[Shirty Blade]

Knowing our negotiating team we probably agreed to a clause paying Liverpool £1 million for every ten matches he misses owing to injury.

Wow, you know our negotiating team, proper ITKer.

Only if there were additional payment due based ont visits to treatment room

 

[Blade56]

so lets concentrate on another one

…what other one?

I was always stuck on 23.5m.

I'm so glad you've manage to get it down to potentially as low as 18m.

I might have. Better night's sleep now

The club accounts would of course be a much better source of reference.
I think McBurnie was only £17m rising to £20m in add-ons too.

Sadly, in the case of Brewster, he's probably ended up costing us far more than he should due to us missing payments and restructuring the finance with Liverpool etc.

 

[Barnette]

We're getting better value looking elsewhere than the Prem at the moment - so hope we are. £20m for Archer is only for a team that have money to burn

Ah, so now we know why Archer is so expensive. We negotiated the buy back price first

15m max for archer if villa get that off any club they will have done well no way are they getting 20m for him

Some one who we have a realistic chance of signing .20million is beyond our budget so if thats what they want it is pointless to keep chasing him .

 

[CarlMcBlade]

That’s 2 down…How many to go?

 

[Weasel]

If it goes above £15m then I'd rather United spend the money on two or three players instead. I like Archer (he wragged us daft at the Lane last season) but there has to be time when you cut it loose and move onto cheaper alternatives even if it's 2 punts up front from abroad at the £7m mark each. They are out there if we look for them (quality forwards not aliens)

Hamer is a £15m player. We need more of those to survive.
Not another 3 x £5m players.

I get that gems can be found for £5m (Traore looks encouraging for example) but they usually need time to be developed.
We don't have that time on our side.

We need 2/3 guys to come in and instantly lift the level of our first XI.
Maybe 1 is a permanent and 2 are loans? But they do need to be found.

Why are we short of ball boys.

What I don’t get is Prince suddenly dropping info a gazillionaire Saudi is interested (whatever that means, bit like in 6 weeks snippet) just before window is about to close.

Id missed Darren’s Smiths post last Friday and today is first I heard of it cause no one looks at Boardroom Section anymore do they?

If Saudi story is true we should be shopping in a bigger pool. Take the Saudi ref with a sack of salt though
