But I despise sell-on clauses, they should be banned if being used by a bigger club. For big clubs it's just "we can't be arsed to develop this player, so you have him.. and if it works we'll get more money when he's sold and if it doesn't... oh well we've already sold him". I agree - if it’s not from their own academy - I mean if it’s not a Longstaff/Carroll who are the club through and through then there should be no sell on fee imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea & City have the best academies in the country. They just sell those lads on for big fees + sell-on clauses. Chelsea got £10m for Livra from Soton.. then what another £10m when we bought him?

Emery killing two birds with one stone. Mings out for the season probably. We also need another option at RB, which is where he sometimes uses Konsa. Only now, given we are a CB down, that is riskier. So bringing in Lenglet for the season makes it easier for him to push Konsa to right back, which means we don't have to buy another dedicated RB. Also makes it easier to play the occasional weird formation, like Sunday's 3-5-2 if we are going to use three CBs. It all makes sense. I’d say he’s comparable to Pau Torres. He’s very good on the ball, but his physicality is lacking and that’s always going to be a problem in the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing encourages hoarding potential talent more than these sell on fees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 A sell on fee is basically a buy back clause too isn’t it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezzle Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 1 hour ago, Froggy said: He's going to be special and he's already good. People act like he scored twice last season. He scored 15 goals for them. Think he attacks the ball too hard if that makes sense. Perfect for his goals Sunday running on, not so much when you need a cool head. He will score lots, especially if they sell salah and use that to get defenders. Pretty good options up front Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored 15 goals for them. It was the assorted football media’s insistence on comparing him directly with Haaland which has led to the idea he’s not very good. He’s not an elite striker but could be one in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Nunez' non-penalty xG+xA per 90 numbers were ridiculous last season. Once he starts to finish those chances he's instantly an elite striker and he did alright on Sunday. It's extremely lazy to call him bad or a flop, sadly. Wilson putting up a juicy number too.

Stottie Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I like Nunez and he is great at creating havoc and shoots a lot, those are definites. We'll have to see whether they consistently turn into goals against PL goalkeepers. Welbeck is above Kane in that list, but only because it uses xG. Wellbeck has significantly underperformed xG his entire career (i.e., is not a good finisher). Sunday aside, Nunez has not been a good finisher so far. Harvey Barnes put up big numbers at Leicester and easily deserves to play in the Champions League. Maddison may have been a more attractive signing, but all reporting points to Spurs paying him 170k and we can't afford that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got 20+ goals/season potential. I said in the match thread I was scared when I saw him coming on. The touch and finish from last season’s game told me everything I needed to know about the Nunez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Barnes did score something like 13 league goals last season. That's more than any of our wingers. And for the previous 3 seasons, he's been a double-digit goalscoring winger across all comps - again something none of our wingers have done. I agree that this is based on potential and what they saw of him at Sporting, rather than Wolves. But it's not the same as Barnes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 2 hours ago, r0cafella said: 50% sell on fee, city are playing FM That Tommy Doyle is highly rated I think, so as they are only paying £5 million I think it's a fair deal. If he does well he probably goes for around £40 million on the low end and Wolves still make a £15 million profit as they get £20 million of that fee. They're basically giving Wolves the player for very little and only then collecting more money if he does well there and is eventually sold on.

joeyt Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I do like it when a club sells an asset for a lot of money and then go on a mad splurging spree. Wolves are now linked with everyone under the sun, Forest signing everyone because they might be selling Johnson. Even Coventry signing expensive players after they sold their big Swede for loads of money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
