He said it was £12m up front I believe...

Exactly.

The rest will be based on appearances etc. Why would we pay a percentage on something that might never happen

 

[Blade58]

So the incomings for this transfer window look like being:

Freeman
Jags
Robinson
Henderson (loan)
Osborn
Morrison
Mousset

Very underwhelming isn't it! They're the sort of transfers I'd expect if we were having another season in the Championship

Best to wait and see

We need at least one out and out striker

Your list may well look different in a weeks time

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Exactly.

Not necessarily. Might have just proposed staggering how we pay the full transfer fee - e.g £12m (2019), £2m (2020), £2m (2021)...

Think this is normal practice.

 

[blademark]

Correct.

 

[JackSUFC]

just get the agent fee paid other clubs do

Agreed. Unfortunately it’s part of the game now, especially at PL level.

Also correct.

The £12m will be staggered, the rest will be add ons, otherwise RC would’ve said we were signing him for £16m.

 

[JackSUFC]

exactly

If we don’t, another club will.

 

[blademark]

He just said £11-12m up front. This suggests staged payments to me?

 

[sheffielder]

Got to imagine the other loan is going to be used on another midfielder? Can’t see us not using it

 

[LJBlade]

He just said £11-12m up front. This suggests staged payments to me?

Suggested to me that the fee was £12m, with possible add ons. When have you ever heard anyone state what the first payment was going to be? Usually people state the fee and anything after that is add ons.

I could be wrong though, I just think it would be a strange way to talk about it. If we were paying £16m why didn’t he just say that?

 

[sheffielder]

Sounds like the agent wants paying on the potential full fee of 16m with add ons and we might be just offering 600k on the 12??

These are revolutionary times folks.

Cheers to RC for keeping fans up to date.

maxstertheblade ???

 

[Th!stledo]

Not sure why exposing who our most reliable ITKer would be a good idea in any sane mind?

 

[bonnet de douche]

I'd much rather pay the extra £800 k to the agent than bum £8mill or £10 million on Robinson ...anyday

 

[Barney]

Not entirely true

OK, I will specify, of those of us who aren't forum admins...

WYEDP?

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Shame about maupay not happening - wilder has shown he’s willing to walk away from deals if it’s not right or the agent is playing hardball. (Jerome Sinclair for example.). He’ll go to someone that won’t blink at paying that money - the agent IS gonna a get him a move if he’s got a million quid on the line. He’ll go somewhere this summer.

Time will tell if it’s the right move but I’m not too enamoured at all with mousset as a replacement. He’s scored 3 goals in 58 premier league appearances so I can’t see him being much help next year if I’m honest. It smacks of an Omar niasse type move to me and not one that’s gonna make much difference on the goals front

I’d much rather take a chance on someone like mcburnie.

 

[Barney]

Fair enough, do elaborate, slow day today for me as per.

Ah, you're saying actual ITK's grace the forum but don't feel the need to tell everybody about said status?

Very underwhelming isn't it! They're the sort of transfers I'd expect if we were having another season in the Championship

Mousset doesn’t ‘look like being’ a signing at all, does he? Why don’t you wait and see what happens or are you in urgent need of underwhelming?

I say we’ll get at least one of Maupay and McBurnie. Again, that can be as underwhelming as you want it to be...
