Viktor Moving on (18 Viewers)

[fernandopartridge]

I can’t see clubs paying what they paid for him - I suspect he will just stay where he is

I think that's most likely, Sheff Utd got £13m for De Souza as well, so I am not sure they're under any particular financial pressure to sell.

I think he’s got a year left on his contract so after this season in the Championsip he’ll end up moving to PSV during the final year of his contract.

£55 million - not as much as we all hoped!!

What's that, just over £3 million after Brighton get their share? Still, better than a kick in the nads.

Brighton are paid off I believe

 

[skybluecam]

Brighton are paid off I believe

They were for the original fee, but we’ve now profited further so will have to pay them their share of that.

After a long and somewhat complicated analysis, Football365 have calculated the following -

"it can be estimated where Arsenal’s £54.8m rising to £63.4m will go:

Coventry are due between £2.96m and £3.69m

Brighton are due between £1.35m and £1.6m

IF Brommapojkarna are due between £1.1m and £1.27m"

So a pretty insignificant sum in the end then.

It’s 64 pages worth - be grateful ffs !!!

Oh how quickly we forget.

If we’re genuinely going for promotion it’s an insignificant amount compared to what our rivals will be spending. The idea that we’ve been waiting for the deal to go through to kick start our business has always been unlikely.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

I remember when the club bought Hammer, think it was the first time the club had paid a transfer fee for a player in a few seasons ?

No, we paid a fee for Godden and Chaplin.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

No, we paid a fee for Godden and Chaplin.

Did we pay a fee for JCH in League 2?

 

[Sick Boy]

Did we pay a fee for JCH in League 2?

I think we did in League One. I’m sure he was on loan in League 2.

Yep agree…but just a couple of seasons back we’d have been made up with this amount.
Expectation has been built up. Not necessarily a bad thing but still a thing.

There was certainly a time under Sisu when we didn't not pay any transfer fees for players .

 

[Sick Boy]

Yeah and pre-SISU. The money we spent on Elliot Ward was the first time in years we’d spent any money.

I inadvertently missed these further paragraphs from the Football365 piece (these various amounts to other clubs are apparently 'solidarity payments' triggered by international transfers, due to any club which contributed to the training and education of a player between the ages of 12 and 23) -

"IFK Aspudden-Tellus are due between £550k and £637k

FC St. Pauli are due between £276k and £318k

Once those debts are paid – likely to be in instalments depending on the payment structure Arsenal have negotiated – Sporting should rake in between £48.57m and £55.9m for Gyokeres."

None of this takes into account the actual deal does it? It’s all based on calculators based on how long players were at clubs.

I don't know, I'm just quoting from the concluding part of the piece.

Worth noting that they also say payments down through the chain are likely in instalments. So the idea that we'll get a big immediate windfall is fanciful (much as King said).

Thinking about it again, it must surely be based at least in part upon the actual deal. I mean if Vik went to the Arse for €2m those small clubs couldn't be paid the amounts listed above.

Yeah but I think it’s just a thing where you put in the fee and their previous clubs and it tells you what’s owed. If we had specific arrangements for payment schedules or sell ons to be paid by Sporting or whatever they wouldn’t know.

I think the installments thing is always overblown. Yes you get paid in instalments, you also pay in installments. The fact you’ve got guaranteed income also allows you access to credit.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Elliot Ward is forgotten about him , was he signed from West Ham ?

 

[Captain Dart]

Seems to be more talk of Arsenal negotiating with CP about Eze at present.

 

[Calista]

I bet there's a meltdown on Aspudden-Tellus Talk

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Seems to be more talk of Arsenal negotiating with CP about Eze at present.

Eze's release clause is apparently £68 million and he is the same age as Vik

 

[fernandopartridge]

So a pretty insignificant sum in the end then.

It's still a pretty large sum of cash for us

 

[Balli001]

We are still getting nearly a million more from a sell on clause than we paid for Dion Dublin. Different times but worth putting into perspective

Dion Dublin who we bought in 1994

Im putting it into context of it being quoted as an 'insignificant' amount. It really isnt is it? How many players in our CURRENT squad cost more than the 3 million we will receive just from a sell on amount

 

[edgy]

It could fund a very good loan player. Or a decent "model profile" addition to the squad. Shouldn't be scoffed at.

 

[TomRad85]

This money plus money received from selling Simms or BTA could get us an actual good striker. Get it done Doug.

Yes, U23 maybe?
