Saw this elsewhere it's why I don't think we can risk 750k on Sheaf. I would take him as a risk on a free, but not 750k

Coventry City can confirm that Kyle McFadzean has agreed a contract with the football club and will officially join the Sky Blues when his current deal expires with Burton Albion.

Unless Robins can claim that the item must have been broken when first delivered, I don't think he can get his 750k back.

He could always list the item on ebay as 'parts only'.

WRONG WRONG WRONG. A transfer budget never actually exists it’s all superficial. It depends on the wage budget. Or so I’ve been told...

Those fees add up to £1 million less than stated?

for me it all depends on the injury issue Betterdays mentioned. If that is not a problem we should sign Sheaf. He has high potential. Not the finished article for sure but will be a strong performer at this level and maybe higher

Fair enough but certain we paid nothing for Biamou or Allen?

We probably payed about £70k for Biamou.

We also paid fees for
Hilsner
Jobello
Kasteneer
Jones
Drysdale compensation
Josh Reid
Tavares

We signed 11 players for league 2 and paid no transfer fees. We did pay a loan transfer fee for Clarke Harris but that was on the next set of accounts I would guess

The first thing to say is that I feel sorry for the player himself
If the problem is so serious that it could scupper the deal how must the poor lad be feeling?
From what was said at the time we signed him I assume that there is a covenant that protected the club if the chronic injury resurfaced
In those circumstances it may end up being decided by independent medical professionals if the clubs can't reach agreement
The fact that Ben Sheaf has been back at Arsenal for some weeks probably points to where we are in the discussion
Arsenal may not force the issue though
Time will tell

Biamou was an undisclosed fee, as I said before I can't vouch for the figures, it's off the net. If they are anywhere near accurate Sheaf would cost a 5th of that money on his own.

I'd be surprised if Max's fee wasn't graduated with an initial payment followed by additional amounts based on appearances and promotions
He was a non-league player so we were taking a chance but other clubs would have been interested

You're right about the initial post but I remember this from Sutton at the time

Max off to Coventry - updated with Paul's comments - Sutton United Football Club

Sutton United have agreed the sale of striker Maxime Biamou to League Two Coventry City for an undisclosed fee. Max joined Sutton at the start of last season having played in his native France for Yzeure AS and Villemomble, and scored 14 goals in his 51 appearances for U’s, including the second...

I can only go on what the accounts say which claim we signed 11 players to start this season all on free transfers
