If we had any intention whatsoever of playing him sometime then maybe but we clearly want rid and Fulham know that. Surprised we even got £22m tbh Think that was the point, that we're so fucking transparent with our dealings of who we want rid of and how desperate for money we are, we cost ourselves money to clubs who just bide their time knowing our policy. Total fucking amateurs who, with a couple of exceptions 2 summers back, never ever maximize our player's values. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bought Kevin Wimmer for £4m, played him 15 times in 2 seasons and sold him to Stoke for £18m. They'd negotiate an enormous fee for Mitrovic given the last six months.

Yep, 22m is fucking shit in this day and age man and with how we apportion money (wages over 5 years etc) to an overall transfer package and not just the fee.

HaydnNUFC Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Not that it matters much that it's a shite fee. Is Rafa going to see any of it? My bet is on no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Last week people were saying we wouldn't get 20 mill for him. Anyway the fee is immaterial if Rafa if doesn't get to reinvest it completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Just a reminder that we sold Sissoko for £30m before the insane transfer fee inflation happened. It's still more than I thought we'd get though for some reason, now it's just all about whether Rafa gets to spehehehehahahaha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitrovic's basically just got Fulham promoted and then did alright at the World Cup. But then maybe we'd get better fees if we stopped walking around pretending we're skint.

I've never had much of a strong feeling on him either way tbh. But yeah, doesn't really matter anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wimmer is shit but if you're on a bigger teams' books people just assume you're good. Also those kind of teams don't need to sell to buy so they can just name their price. Spurs probably would have happily kept him just in case. Mitro clearly isn't wanted by Rafa, we clearly need to sell to buy and he hasn't really shown that much in the PL anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man was linked with Real Madrid People were acting like he was a world beater that summer. None of it justified of course but it clearly had an effect on his fee, I have no strong feelings on Mitrovic deal tbh but I don't think this comparison is very apt if I'm honest. Of course I agree on our inability to get good fees though, everyone knows the joke we are in every department. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Aye Sissoko ran down the wing past a couple of players in the Euros final and it genuinely added about £10m onto his fee. Very odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how many appearances he made exactly in 15/16 or minutes on pitch off the top of my head, but 9 goals in that fucking shit heartless Mclaren team destined for relegation isn't "not showing much".

Rafa had made Sissoko captain and happily would have kept him though I take your point, but the other side of that coin with Mitrovic is that although he's not wanted by Rafa like Sissoko was, he's very much wanted by Fulham and they're the ones paying. He got them promoted, they already know that he's probably worth £30m to them and that he works really well in their system. The only risk for them is the Championship to Premier League jump.

midds Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 22m or more for a player who was never going to feature for us this season is decent going. It's basically free money and if the whole lot is spent buying someone who will contribute to the team then it's fair play. Moving on Merino, Sels, Mbemba and Mitrovic for about 42m is good going. Their contribution last season was virtually nil. The annoyance is the fact that the owner sees that 42m as enough to get by on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that 42 million was matched with around the same in TV money we'd probably be looking at a very exciting season ahead. It's a pisstake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
