Bought for £25m on a 2.5 year deal. Attracted £10m of amortisation while here, sold for £15m while valued at £15m on our books. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In isolation, I'd have given them Shelvey too. I think that deal looks worse because we didn't get anyone else in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not convinced we managed to rinse Forest for an almost-guaranteed £15m transfer fee and a £4m loan fee on top to be honest. But we’ve also paid him about £4m in wages over the last year so it would still be a break even. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 This is bonkers. £15m. And for a one season contract! I sincerely hope he proves worth the money for them. Seems a good guy even if we outgrew him about as quickly as we bought him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that deal looks worse because we didn't get anyone else in. I think the Shelvey deal looked worse becasue of the Bruno red card/same day. Realistically, Shelvey was nowhere near the first team anymore (with BG, JL, SL, JW in front of him), and I doubt, barring an injury crisis that Howe had any intentuion of using him, and activating the contract extension.

Think Nobody was more implying that given how inflationary prizes are recently, the fact that up until a month ago, the only asset we've sold that has been more that £10m was over 4 years ago, and to only sell 5 in an 8 year period shows just how poorly we'd been run under Ashley.

The Bonk Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 For a penny pinching billionare like Ashley, you'd think he'd have a better understanding of asset valuation, appreciation. A good lesson in capital investment that doing the bare minimum usually results in average or below average yield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad for Leicester, not terrible though Jul 2018: Alexander Mitrovic -> Fulham £22M good deal for Fulham. Good fee for us at the time. Jul 2018: Mikel Merino -> Real Sociedad £10.5M Good deal for Sociedad. Didn't do enough to justify much more. Aug 2016: Mousssa Sissoko -> Tottenham £30M Good deal for us. Never won over the Spurs fans but he played over 200 games for them Jul 2016: Gini Wijnaldum -> Liverpool £25m Good deal for Liverpool. Light fee in retrospect Really goes to highlight just how ran into the ground Ashley has made us. Going down with a team that included Perez, Mitrovic, Sissoko & Wijnaldum is a crime. Never once played Sissoko and Wijnaldum in CM, instead we had Colback & Anita. Jesus wept. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 We got a good fee, great but I'll be honest. I didn't care much for being an NUFC accountant under Ashley, and I don't care much for it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
