27.5 million is well beyond 20 million.

 

It says 3m + 0.8m additional fees for loan, 14.5m + 2.7m in additional fees for the purchase, and 6.5m add-ons. That is in total 27.5m euros.

 

Obviously I'm not sure what they mean by additional fees, but exclude that it's 24m euros still.

 

 

 

 

I read it as the 3 + 0.8 being included in the 14.5 + 2.7. If the 6.5 add-on is achieved it would put the total at 23.7 which is well beyond 20m. Why not write "well beyond 25m" if the total was 27.5...? 

 

Either way it's a great deal for us.

Because the reported deal was 20, so they're saying its well beyond the reported 20.

Who gives a fuck man, he's going, we made a nice buck, good times.

 

But his performance against West Ham may cost us UCL and he'll then have cost us more...

I mean it hasnt worked out for him here but It’s a hell of a reach to suggest Lloyd Kelly single handedly lost us a game where the scoreline was 2 nil to the opposition. 
 

is his goal saving block against Chelsea the reason we won the Carabao cup?

We did it boys!

[GEFAFWISP]

I guess he didn't displace Hall as our starting LB after all...

[r0cafella]

I hold no ill will towards the lad and wish him well.

 

Lovely ffp boost for us though.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Here we go

[Weezertron]

More proof that we can indeed sell players. 

[SUPERTOON]

Cracking work from Mitchell. 

[Kilcline]

Excellent bit of business, hope he finds his feet over there and does well. Good luck to the bloke 

[Superior Acuña]

Looking forward to his non-celebration when he scores a consolation against us in the CL.

They're basically paying £5 million a year for him over three years for the bulk of the fee.

 

Pretty cheap deal for them really, but still decent money for us.

 

 

Free money basically. Great deal for us.

[timeEd32]

Wonderful. I'm going to assume those "other costs" are agent fees or bonuses or something, so not to NUFC. 

 

We probably get around £15m. Let's just say his wages were £100k and skip any debate about that. That means the combination of player sales income and wage savings is roughly £10m per year for the next three years.

[NG32]

Easy cash. 

[Skeletor]

Done well to shift him. He was way below expectations but its turned out ok in the end.

[Wolfcastle]

Its always been good and just to shift dead wood but in these PSR times its become more satisfying than signing a player

[The Prophet]

Howe has shown plenty of times that he can get the best out of a player and with a run in the team, Kelly might have been decent.

 

But with Burn, Botman, Hall, Tino and even Targett, we're well stocked on the left side of defence. It's good money for a player that we don't really need.

 

He seems sound enough, hope he does well over there.

[midds]

If we're now in the business of flipping players then this is the blueprint. Sign in the summer, park him for 6 months then move him on for a (relatively) filthy profit. That cash goes straight into this year's accounts and, I assume, mean we're in the clear for PSR this summer. Throw in the Almiron money and it should mean we can strengthen with several players we can actually use next season. 

 

I'd still like us to carry on looking for more players in Kelly's situation and repeat it. It's obviously difficult but it's clearly possible. No axe to grind with him really, he's decent at best but seemed to try and didn't whinge about it, he's also landed up at a huge club too so he's won too. Juve are the only losers in the whole affair tbh

[Elric]

I'm assuming that Juve glory-hunters message board will have taken this with the same good grace I've seen in their previous posts

Is he our best free signing ever?

It’s taken 20 years, but now I know how Rangers felt about Boumsong
