If the club are looking for 30m or more, what’s another 5?

 

Maxi was 28m and we got robbed.. Miggy is basically on a par in terms of output.

 

It's PIF money in any case. Any fee that will be agreed will solely be for keeping up appearances. Which we’ve done already.

We definitely got robbed on ASM.  All those clubs queuing up to give us more for a player we were happy to lose.  They were all desperate to give us more, but we accepted the lower offer.

 

I think.

Meh, still doable.

Sounds like he's off, if not now then in the summer.

Sesko, that Roony lad with the unpronounceable surname and Kone would do nicely. Not being greedy like.

Depends on if he’s hit all his bonuses. I’ve seen a max of £40m.  So it would be somewhere between £20-24m.  His contract extension would mean the amortisation cost is spread over a longer term. He’ll amortise between 5-6m now as opposed to 7-9m on his first contract. 
 

We’ll also save close to £8-9m in wages.

£30m is daylight robbery. 
 

You can’t stop the Saudi state. Fuck you Scudamore. 

 

Scudamore left the PL in 2018, I presume you meant Masters.

Hopefully we get as much as possible for him and every other club is spitting feathers (despite other clubs gaining Saudi coin to flog their deadwood). Fuck them, they've tried every trick in the book to stop us progressing as a club, let them cry!

[Displayname]

Me so sad

[54]

Am I the only one who thinks £30m is a fair price for him? Given he has 14 Premier League goals and 3 assists in a season and a half, and is a regular for a club that got in the Champions League last season.

It's a tricky one, and completely depends where we sell him. I don't think he'd be worth £30m to another PL team, and I don't think a team in Europe could afford it. However, I think it's perfectly fair in an inflated Saudi market.

Well reasoned take

Only in Saudi land. I thought there was a slim chance we could con someone like Forest for money approaching that last summer for exactly the reasons you've stated, but our negotiating position has weakened since then.

[Doctor Zaius]

This is only worth doing if we can reinvest quickly. 8 Days left on the window, so we're going to need to get rid of Almiron and get his replacement (who'll have to be available) without panicking or leaving us with Murphy as the only right winger. Cant see it.  

[Slim]

Show them these highlights if there is any arguments about him being worth 50mil

I think it shows he's definitely gone in summer, although I do worry how many extra millions that loses us. I don't think we'll sign a replacement in this window either way though.

I think it's a great price for him. He's 29 and very hit & miss. I'd absolutely snap anyone's hand off for that kind of fee, if i was the board

[Toonjam88]

The fact Manchester United are asking for £50 million for Anthony from Saudi clubs must mean surely we should be asking for the same for Almiron if not more

He's 6 years older though?

[BShearer]

would hate if the Saudi clubs would help a direct rival by offering 40-50m each for their two huge flops Antony and Sancho. that would be such a big help for them financially, FFP wise.

let them stick around at Man United for years and have them pay their high salaries (Sancho alone is on 325K a week lol) while loaning them out paying part of their salary rather than having them off the wage list and huge transfer fees pocketed from Saudis.

 

fucking hell Saudi league have to help us not Man United.

Think its a weird time to sell him, unless we got a player line up that is not overprized because of january window.

Ideal situation for me is we get whoever we need in this window, Miggy stays for the last part of the season and fires us in to the top 6, deal made end of the year with Saudi club for the same money we'd have got if he'd went this January, Miggy says his goodbyes at the Brighton game (Home win, Miggy goal) to Wor Miggy flags everywhere.
