No we couldn't, the embargo we're under is 1 out, 1 in on 75% of the outgoing players wages.

We can still bring in 2 players due to Edjenguele and Dunn leaving

Yeah, as long as they're on 75% of whatever they were on. i dont think we're allowed to spend money on them, so would need to be freebies
If hes outta contract end of this season 400k is maybe the more likely selling price.
Remember the ones like gunnerson and westwood that ran their contracts down and we got nothing.
Would yous take say 500k now or keep him this season and maybe lose him end of season.
Best outcome here would be for sisu to offer a rewarding contract now and show an intent in future progress to calm the fans slightly

As I mentioned a few pages back we would get a fee for him if he ran his contract down set by a tribunal. Slightly eases the pressure on us to sell or risk losing him for nothing

Like we did for Gunnarsson? I seem to remember ending up with about half what we would've got selling him in January.
Here's a crazy idea: why don't we tie him down to a longer contract?

Yea I've been looking at the elite player performance rules and instead of doing the tribunal on an individual basis now it's a fixed value based on how many years they have been at the club and how many appearances they have made for the club, we'd probably get 250-300k if his contract expires in the summer
I can't actually see any official source which says his contract up. The only thing I can find is that he signed a long term contract during the season we were relegated from the championship

What happens if he rejects it?

Yes we can
We have two slots already available
And you could sign one player for 75% of their combine wages
And another for 75% of Christies wage

Then we've done something wrong with him, or he was always going to go and we should've sold him "top of cycle" last season.

What did spurs "do wrong" with Gareth Bale?

Not what waggot said.
"The Football League operates a policy of one player out and one player in," Coventry development director Steve Waggott told the club website.
"Therefore the departure of Cody McDonald in the summer enables us to bring in a replacement.
"There are, however, certain conditions to any transfer business being done to ensure that clubs are not increasing their financial risk in their acquisition of new players.
"To ensure that, the Football League insists that any player brought in can only be on a maximum 75% of the wages that the departed player was on.

They asked the football league and they said we could use use 75% of the combined wages to sign one player

£1mill will be too hard to turn down, which they no doubt make, but it will include all sorts of fees. Anyway hope someone breaks his phone whilst he's out shopping.

Surely there's a quite obvious loophole to exploit here whereby we can offer minimal wages to satisfy the requirement and then insert some form of bonus which sees the rest made up to the player on a weekly basis?
Players have already left so we can sign 2 currently, more if others leave.

Nothing - they got £85m (sold at top of cycle?)

My first reaction was to burst out laughing at £300k, but sadly SISU don't know anything about football so it will look like a great deal to them.

I would say waggot has seem to drive good deals in the past

Not as good as Ranson. Not many chairman would have been able to SELL Gray and Borrowdale for a fee

Wigan have been linked too and they might be bout to come into 12 million plus for McCarthy.
(Coventry based) Huddersfield Town fan in peace.
Rumours among HTFC fans is that we offered £500k (I assume if that's true that was our 2nd & final bid). I've never seen him play so I have no idea how good he is - but my first instinct was to think that's a hell of a lot for a Lg1 full back that'll be out of contract 9 months from now.
Is he really that good (genuine question, not taking the piss)?
Whatever happens, good luck for the rest of the season (especially against Bradford).

Nice to know there's another Town fan in these parts. Not such the barren wasteland anymore:welcome:
Out of contract but young enough for compo to be payable. Good young player. Will probably end up getting around 500k with some add ons next summer
