    Ben Stevenson £513,000

    It wasn't - Newcastle's gamble didn't pay off They are a spectacularly badly run club, something we know a lot about ourselves Although Bigi wasn't looking for a move he did get a vast increase in wages before he ended up back with us after NUFC paid him off before the end of his contract...

    Ben Stevenson £513,000

    Well yes That illustrates the situation exactly Newcastle are rumoured to have paid £1m up front but there will almost certainly have been add ons if Bigi had gone on to the top level It was a risk for NUFC which didn't pay off

    Biamou

    Very good point I hadn't realised until recently that Biamou was only training one day a week at Sutton When he first came in he was like a fish up a tree and did zero work when we didn't have the ball But as his fitness levels have improved and he's learned more about the full time game we can...

    Agents Fees

    You'd need more detail for true comparison Agents fees are paid in instalments - sometimes using the same basis as the transfer fee Most transfer fees even at Premier League level are paid in several tranches with the schedule set out in the transfer doc's I'd guess that these figures include...

    James Maddison sell on clause? Bid from WEST HAM

    Most transfers have staged payments even for the base fee Depending on the amount the base fee may be paid in instalments over 12 to 24 months It may well be that this just included the first tranche of the base fee

    James Maddison sell on clause? Bid from WEST HAM

    That may have been the case in the past but these days all transfers are done through the FA clearing system All documents are lodged with them and money paid through them as intermediaries Of course some clubs may still get up to dodgy dealing on the side but they would risk sanctions like some...
