OK he had a bad season with injury but for clubs like Spurs with money to spend he's surely worth the gamble. Plenty of players have been signed for 20m or more with far less potential and a far worse inury record
We all know we wouldn't see any of the money regardless, I'm not sure how much of the Maddison mo eye went back in to the playing squad but I'm sure it wasn't a lot, same goes for when we originally sold Wilson. Money coming in doesn't neccasarily mean money to spend
Don't care how much we get if any not one penny will go towards the team, just as not a penny from the Maddison transfer has

Has it bollox, what's the fee for him then ?

The fee will be between 400K-500K, unless you think the board at D&R went to the same school of economics as you and decided to accept a much inferior offer to those they have previously received. Charlton had a 300K bid turned down last autumn.
Of course it is the Maddison money that's being used. How else have we paid for him, bottle tops? The club only turnover £4.5 million a year (and half that goes out on players wages alone) - and we know SISU are no longer funding the club and are insisting it needs to be self-sufficient, so in order for the club to suddenly find that much cash it will have to be from the Maddison sale.
In that case we should expect more similar signings this summer seeing that Maddison went for a lot more than £400K?

Players also have to be paid you know.
I cant believe we paid £500k for Jones
You tell me, sounds like you know?
I was told it was £50k by a colleague of mine who is a D&R fan and former Director.
That's would make a lot more sense. I would expect its around that or a little more, with plenty of add ons with promotion etc
How would it? They turned down £300,000 for him previously and other clubs were trying to sign him.
It was suggested on CWR we paid about the same as as paid for McDonald.
same as every club even ones with smaller budgets.do you lot think our club doesn't cost anything to run?
Yeh...and you think we're the only ones who sell their players and cover running costs with the proceedings? Also, most other clubs probably own their own stadium...same as every club even ones with smaller budgets.
Did he claim to have a clue? All he said was some of the Maddison money was put back in to the team in the form of the Jodi Jones signing.So you are admitting to rupert_bear that you haven't a clue? Despite wading in with your chest puffed out.
For starters, he won't go for 20 million. And the fee, whatever it is, will be structured so we get as little as possible. And it wont be spent on the team anyway, it will go toward 'operating costs'. So dream on ...
Even if we paid £1.50 for Jones it at least shows at last we have some planning and investment, it doesn't matter where it came from, in the team.
I'm chuffed we paid a fee, however small or big, its shows some ambition

And they also have bigger stadium running cost that bring nothing in.
Even Fleetwood have just spent 8 million on their training ground.
Our owners want to build a stadium and purchase the land for that.
