Or possibly you get rid of your stupider clauses and so will we ? Aye but the selling team can ask for whatever they want, he's their player. Percentages of next sales are very common for young players also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would explain the lack of movement on other transfers if those are the types of add-ons being added. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, they can quote whatever they want but we can equally deem the 30% sell on clause on top of a 30-40m payment plus loan back ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is conducting the business for us? If you believe everything you’re reading, then yes. But the majority of these stories are entirely fabricated either by journalists to get clicks, or by agents / clubs to drive interest in their players. The best tactic is just to wait and see. See what we end up with by the end of the window. I think it’s clear that this is a really difficult window to get good players in, so it’s understandable that it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and see where we are in 10 days time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWTL Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Most of this must me made up crap, it's clear we really miss a DOF but was never going to be easy signing players in our position and in January. Every manager has said how hard it is to sign players in this window and its obvious clubs have been adding stupid amounts on top of value. People saying it can't be that hard during January must know more than any other professional that's been in the game for many years. If it's only a few million added I'd say pay it but not an extra 10 or 20 and some are nearly double. Think the owners are obviously trying as I've never seen so many players linked although most are made up shit. I think the best we can hope for now is some loan deals next week and maybe 1 permanent if can get anyone we want to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I've got a massive problem with people picking and choosing which rumours they believe and which they ignore. You can't just believe the ones you want to be true and disregard the ones you don't fancy, it doesn't work like that. The truth is probably somewhere between the 2 extremes and I personally don't trust a single one of these vague tweets and quotes from random as I don't trust them either. I tend to ignore pretty much everything reported on twitter and in the rags, it's invariably utter shite. It's far easier. When it happens it happens, until then it's bollocks.

duo Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 More than one source reporting it https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1552828/Newcastle-Hugo-Ekitike-bid-rejected-impossible-clause-included-Premier-League-transfers Quote Caillot told Le Quotidien du Sport: “They offered us €35million (£29m) in total but with many bonuses, some of which were almost impossible to achieve. Like winning the Champions League. Quote Asked what it will take for the prolific Ekitike to be prised away, the 60-year-old added: "We want €30m fixed and an extra €10m in achievable bonuses."

HaydnNUFC Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) 30m with incentives like 5m if we stay up and 5m on his performance like once he scores 10 goals is a fine deal. A lot for a kid whose played ~900 minutes of first team football like, but it's where we are and the likelihood is he'll be an upgrade on what we have.

Doesn’t make it true, and if it is true, it also doesn’t include much detail. So what if there’s a Champions League bonus in there. There might be a tonne of other bonuses in there that they’re just conveniently not mentioning. It’s literally completely irrelevant anyway. We will sign who we will sign. It’s pointless getting worried about the deal specifics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percentages of next sales are very common for young players also. Both clubs can ask for whatever they want, I mean yeah he's their player, but if they have any interest in selling him then there are limits to what they can ask for. I'd say a loan back, in our position, is one of those limits. Edited January 20, 2022 by Teasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo it’s ludicrous to put a CL clause in a contract for a team who are 19th in the league. Indefensibly stupid. I think on the surface it does look that way. That being said the time horizon for this kid and the reported investment to come in the club does change it ever so slightly. Also Reims reported demands we’re also from a similar stupid place All of that aside, do we even have the structure in place to be signing such a player? At this time without play liaisons in place and skeletal backroom team lacking a director of football, director of player development etc this all seems Ill timed. Shola would have this lad on loan to Darlo or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
