€11m £9m IIRC for Haji.

I’d hope Onyeka isn’t £8m that’s what they paid for him.

I'm not sure on the Onyeka fee, i think i did read about £8 million. The other 2 are a touch out though, more so the Wright one.
I can't see anything for Wright that has add ons as anything more than £2 million, which would take him to a max of £9.7 million.
For Simms, everything i've found suggests £8 million is the absolute tops. Promotion will be one of them, no idea if he's hit everything to make up the maximum amount.

I don't think King would get into open ended agreements of that kind, he's a very shrewd negotiator. I've got a feeling he said within two years at one point but I don't remember. Haji for example is signed through 2027 with an option on top and the fee was reported to be £7.7m.

ps. Yes here it is

New figures emerge as Haji Wright could cost Coventry City further €2m

Coventry City contract news from CoventryLive as reports in the Turkish press reveal the finer details of Haji Wright's transfer, including promotion bonuses and a hefty sell-on clause

Think he cost £10m but any bog standard player from another PL side with a longish contract or anyone joining a PL side will cost that at a minimum

Onyeka? €10m he cost Brentford. Which tbf is £8.7m now but don’t know what the exchange rate has been doing the last four years. It’s not a huge amount in the long run but as he’s a lot older and not near their team any more I wouldn’t want to be paying what they did.

Adjusting for inflation it’ll almost certainly be an 8 figure sum.

As far as top flight transfers are concerned £8 million’s a modest fee.

Rumours before he signed were £7-8m would secure him. £8m is modest but they’ve been trying to offload him for a couple of seasons and he’s got a year and an option left.

Yep, and which would only be triggered upon promotion. It’s a top flight transfer.

Because they’re knocking on the door of Europe and have moved on. He did well enough in the Bundesliga last season to justify the fee imo.

OK? I’m literally just passing on what the reports were. I’m not getting into this weird defence mechanism people have on here about him again.

Not arguing with you, you agree that £8m isn’t a big fee as far as Prem transfers go.
