Kyle Walker in £50m move

[YES Blade]

Let's not be spending this 'windfall' before it's banked.
If Daniel levy can find a way to avoid coughing up, he will.
Did we get 10% of the 5m fee that Swansea paid spurs for Naughton? If so, then I can imagine that Levy will argue that, as Walker was just a make-weight in the 2 Kyles transfer, then he will say that they have already fulfilled the 10% sell on clause.
Hope I am way off the mark, but I don't see this being straight forward

I'm the first to slag off the club when it comes to player sales, but all this "Levy will do this or try that" is ludicrous.

There are contracts in place for player transfers! Some on here make a multi million pound transfer like being used car for cash off a mate!

WTF! Well let's pray to God that you weren't the one drawing up the contract.

I think you're correct in that it won't be straightforward. You are however, well wide of the mark.

I really hope so...I hope it was 2 completely separate deals that took Naughton and Walker to Spurs, and each deal had their own clauses detailing sell on percentages.

I'm pretty sure it would have to be.

Put to one side for a minute all the discussion about our cut, what we sold him for and all the rest of the bollocks and consider this: What we're left with is that one of our academy products has become the world's most expensive defender. And he's one of ours and he's fucking good. I'm chuffed for him and chuffed for the academy. Just reflect on that for a minute and smile.

 

[Fanny magnet]

Heard a lot of people say he's not worth it ,bet they're not saying that next season

 

[mancunianblade]

I presume this would be true. But wonder if we get a cut if this. £150k?

Why not ?

 

[mancunianblade]

Why not ?

This is what I thought, just wasn’t sure. If the fee is the fee and bonuses are something separate..

Walker and Maguire starting for England at the World Cup?

I won't know whether to be immensely proud or fucking sick!

And Jagielka played 40 times for England after leaving us.

Whilst we fucked off to divison three.

Damm good that academy.





For other teams.

We would be in a more perilous position than we are now if we hadn't recieved income from the sale of said players.

Potentially, however more likely we wouldn’t have gone down to division 3 in the first place had we not forced Spurs to buy Walker.

Mark Ramkine was Naughton AND Walker's agent.

Exactly who do you think did the 'forcing'?

We would have been deep in financial bother way before Walker was sold without revenue from player sales.

I’d imagine that 6 years in league one cost us more money than we’ve made in player sales in the last 20 years.

Yeah, isn't hindsight great?

 

[PittsburghBlade]

people are funny. We'd be up shit creek if it wasn't for that 8.5m from the two kyles, plus 5m and a couple for maguire. I bet they're wishing they never left aren't they, we should've locked them up so they couldnt further their careers.
