Optimistic Nut Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 tbh, £2m loan fee for 4 months is bloody ridiculous. Surely that depends on if it results in 2m being knocked off the asking price in the summer? All the figures the last day or two were £2m plus £13m in the summer.

madras Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 tbh, £2m loan fee for 4 months is bloody ridiculous. Thats partially what I think it comes down to. CPFC "He's your's for 13mill" NUFC "Well we don't want to commit and I don't think he does till we are certain of promotion, how about 2mill now and the balance if we come up. If we don't come up you keep the 2 and can sell him to someone else for whatever ?" CPFC "13mill now or 2 now and 13mill in the summer" It's a possibilty.

Eddy Chibas Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 2m saved, on top of shifting Tiote's wages (as well as scoring a minimal fee?). Deadline Day Ashleynomics in full effect again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Nothing ridiculous about a £2m loan fee at all man, have you not seen the money being spent all over the place? £2m is absolutely nowt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 tbh, £2m loan fee for 4 months is bloody ridiculous. Surely that depends on if it results in 2m being knocked off the asking price in the summer? That seems to have been (one of the) issue(s) though... It was reportedly £2m now as a loan fee, then the £13m release clause in the summer. Don't think Ashley would ever be happy spending more on a player we sold just a year earlier. Also, if Palace were now agreeing to an initial loan, their terms may have been an obligation to buy in the summer regardless of promotion. Guess we'll never know the ins and outs of the deal being thrashed out. But, we need to win the next 2 games at home, and then take it from there - hopefully keep that gap to 3rd place for the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No club these days wants to commit to deals contingent on promotion because if you don't get it you can end up in a lot of trouble financially.

Twinport53 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Tiote will be on atleast 50k a week, shifting him will save almost £1 million between now and the end of the season. Could of factored that into Townsends loan surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, tell Villa that. We spent in the summer, and on course for promotion. Sure Andros would be a good signing, but Rafa should get that squad promoted with our without him. My slight problem with all this is Rafas reaction, but I take the meltdown when/if it happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Getting dumped out of the cup by lower league opposition and having a wild goose chase transfer window resulting in nothing is an all too familiar feeling brought back. I still think we'll go up but Townsend could have made it a canter for us. I really am gutted we haven't signed him although I feel like I've got him on a much higher pedestal than his actual ability since this transfer saga.

I've got a feeling the £13m release clause only kicks in at the end of the season, otherwise we could have just triggered it by putting in an offer. Either that or Townsend/us didn't want to commit to a permanent deal until we are officially promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
