Unbelievable Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 1 minute ago, ponsaelius said: It's an apologetically low fee to avoid scrutiny imo. 40 million euros would have been about right. It points to out owners wanting to play by the rules imposed by the league on behalf of the traditional “big six” a bit too much imo. Similarly I expected a few more commercial deals, even below the 1m threshold, to come through this summer, and perhaps a legal challenge or two to crack the “fairness” of the FFP rules. If we succeed it would ultimately feel a much bigger accomplishment and we are well on course to do so, but boy are we making things a bit complicated for ourselves by not leaning on the financial might of our owners the way the likes of PSG and Man City have done to get to where they are now.

Big River Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 the low fee just shows you how much we wanted rid of him I've been telling yous for months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t want to piss on your parade, but that makes no sense considering the people who bought him are basically the same as the people who own us.

BoSelecta Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 50% sell on clause and they’ll peddle him to one of the other 4 PIF owned clubs next season ? but aye…that’s a shite fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 The fee isn't too far off par, but if we're not rinsing that Saudis it suggests he wasn't sold for FFP purposes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Must be the only club who's sold a player below the going rate to the Saudis. Wish we just sold him for something daft like 70m and let them challenge it. Point out the fees Anthony, Sancho and Mudryk have went for. Even McTominay is rumoured to be 45m asking price Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 That fee is a disgrace, mind. Genuinely can't believe it.... Henderson was bloody £13m! Farewell sweet prince, miss you already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 While I agree the fee is probably below par, it's not as bad as some are making out. Very telling that no one else made a serious move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Selling him in his prime for that price is shocking, but to do it to a Saudi club who are throwing money about for fun is even worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 At least he's not going to a league with any credibility, so we won't have to have a collective cry every time he does a mazy dribble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) There'll surely be some daft add-on clauses in there to get up to €40m. Edited July 28, 2023 by Gallowgate Toon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) There’s a team of leading industry professionals negotiating our transfers and yet people on here know better about what we should be getting for our players. Howay man. This isn’t Charnley getting his pants pulled down cos he’s an overpromoted tea boy. If we got £25m for him that’s cos it was the best deal for all parties. And an indication of his true market value . Edited July 28, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Al-Hilal signed Malcom for 60 million euros the other day. Same age and long since gave up on playing in a serious league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
