What was the financial package at the end then?

What I heard was £2m guaranteed, 15% sell on fee (of the future sale amount, and not on any profit above £2m), and £500k if we get promoted.

So basically if we were to get promoted and sell him for £10m in the future bw souls have cost us £4m in total.

Or is the above wide of the mark?

That’s what Darren said, yes. He’s usually right on financials
 

‘The only credible offer appears to come from the mighty Sheffield United’

Well at least someone recognises our standing in the game…

I almost feel sorry for the Plymouth fans. Almost.

Our big star was Illeman N'Diaye, he had 1 year left on his contract, we offered to make him the best paid player at the club.
He refused to sign and eventhough he'd never played in the top flight we ended up selling him for £15 million.

Plymouth's bid star was Cooper, he had 1 year left on his contract, they offered to make him the best paid player at the club.
He refused to sign and altho he never played in the top flight he ended up ending sold for £2 million.

Life doesn't seem fair. You can understand why Argyle fans feel insulted, when their biggest star in years is sold for a bit of loose change.

Not too much nonsense from them, the usual “he was crap anyway” and the “he doesn’t have ambition if he’s going there” to “6m is nothing, we want more”

But generally they’re complimentary of him and it certainly looks like we have a decent keeper.

The ones that made me laugh are that in a year Wilder will be raving how he’s turned him into a £30m keeper. Not sure I’ve ever heard Wilder take credit like that. He generally acknowledges the route players have come to get where they are.

The increased saves per game and xG nonsense also makes no sense, he’s going from a side towards the lower end to one which will potentially see fewer shots conceded. Unless they think we’re still in the Premier League.

Think he meant if he stayed at Plymouth ?

The best keeper we’ve ever had and the best keeper we ever will have… I don’t think Sheffield Utd fans realise just yet how lucky they are to have him. Best keeper in the EFL no argument. "You have to wish him well and thank him for being one of our most talented goalkeeper we’ve

When I first clicked on the view from earlier I got her, but just tried again and got eBay. Probably because I've recently been on eBay.
That's the way it works mate, so you need to Google more porn sites I'm afraid 😉

Never. Clubs like Bradford Park Avenue, Grimsby, Darwen and Glossop North End have played in the top flight.

Indeed. The mighty Hillsmen of Glossop.

Only 65 teams have ever been in the top flight

The big question I have is did we over pay for Grbic or are we getting a bargain for Cooper? Or do we only sign keepers for £2m. Its a flat fee.

This feels like the biggest signing of the summer (and probably the last 2 years?). Potential for a solid foundation to a side which looks like we are building a solid defensive unit in front of a talented keeper.

Always hard for the side selling a player and whether they feel they got value. But surely they deep down realise signing for a club with aspirations of promotion is different to staying with a side who will probably be scrapping at the bottom of the table.
 

Think it'll eventually be a 4m transfer coop. Which is peanuts for a keeper many regard as top 3 championship keepers. Worth a punt to say the least.
 
Great news another quality signing for the Blades. now that Cooper is in the building. Grbic can leave at last a complete waste of money.

Cheers pal, nice bit of reading on my lunch👍
 
Thanks Roy. Sounds like he's quite the keeper and we've absolutely stolen him if he is.

How imagine we feel as a club right now after the deal was done...

The one thing I do agree with them is his recent injury record is a worry. Hopefully that phase of his career is over.

His injury record amounts to an ACL injury caused by current SBM wanker Josh Windass and a minor injury to his other knee caused by him being rushed back by a desperate Plymouth side. He’s not injury prone.

Down here it was reported by Argyle 2 million upfront with 2 million addons and then a sell on fee

I think realistically only £1m add-ons, but with a 15% sell on according to Darren. He's pretty much always right

All I can add to this (think I mentioned it before?) is the hold-up on the contract was never the initial fee; Plymouth were always OK with £2m. Their focus was the sell-on fee (smart CEO IMO). They wanted ~40% This was what we were negotiating.

Think about it, every 10m profit in sell on, at 40%, is £4m to them. Definitely the best way to bargain. Long-term planning. Well done Plymouth. That's the right way to negotiate.

Thing is with cooper situation it has been dragging on for two years and we knew he was going this window. Prior to his injury Argyle wanted him to extend his contract as only 12 months left. He wouldn't but got injured signed a 12 month extension to cover his injury. Them there was the foster instance where he was waving the crowd to sing up when they were singing derogatory things about his boss. Both things said he planned to leave. Glad he has gone to you though because he will play instead of sat on the bench. My opinion as a player. Well when it was rumoured that he was joining you I placed your team each way in a handicap bet to win the leagues along with villa and Wrexham. Your team was +14 and 18/1.

Well let's hope we both profit massively from a sell-on. It means the lad did well.
 

Local sentiment is that they are gutted to see him leave, absolutely top quality keeper apparently. Can’t wait for my nearest game in April 😉
