The dead deal or the resurrected deal ?

If he’s impressed out there then another Italian club (with more than some magic beans and a packet of hula hoops) may be interested

I was speaking about a June sale fwiw, I think we’d still go up if KDH was unable to play again this season

Because it’s all profit we could spend £100m in fees this summer on the back of getting 40m in for kdh and also plug the hole in the accounts buying 100m worth of players sticks 20m per year in the debit column for five years but we’re not getting 40m for him.

And they don’t pay to travel to have medicals etc either ! I think youri came by commercial and that’s when we were loaded!

Exec jet ? you’d be better off checking easy jet Milan to Luton nowadays !

If the talk about us needing to sell before the end of June is true then I guess it doesn’t do any harm for us to be seen to negotiating in the championship in Jan and knocking back a sizeable bid or two. Sets a floor ahead of any low ball june offers And also shows the player and his agent that we hadn’t refused to engage in any discussions on a sale now. I do think that there is a fee that would convince us to sell this week if it’s agreed tomorrow. we can get a loan in on Wednesday. I’m sure we have identified options in case a club are mad enough to come in with £30/35m

They were backs to the wall hanging on

He is out of contract at the end of June we have to complete a deal with inter before then or he’s a free agent the fee is amortised (annual cost ) in the accounts year by year (ending June 30th). I don’t think this is a cash flow situation

Maybe they are paying most of his wages now and we effectively re imbusre them from the fee in June - which is them amortised over the three years of his contract word was that they wanted €2m and this deal will be €2.5m if we go up

He is out of contract end june our ffp accounts are to end June so makes no difference unless inter are going to add a year to his contract (possible) before we take the loan then we have to complete the purchase before end June I assume the loan with mandatory buy on promotion is to protect us in the event that we don’t go up. But I can’t see how that works for inter unless it’s a take it or leave it €500k or he just sits out his final six months will be interesting to see if they do add a years option onto his contract on the event that we don’t go up.

Just reject it with the comment ‘the price is £40m - just like ulloa was £8.3m’

Lucky that he’s coming to a club with a superb record of keeping players fit then …..

Loan deals for players into their last six months are rare we did one with ayo last season but he gave up a lot of his salary to take it. we needed squad space freeing up so I don’t think we even got a loan fee. It’s not usually in the interest of the player (who forgoes a chunk of their s/o fee if they leave as a free agent in July ) or the buying club (who can get the player for nothing in July). The only winners are the selling club. Thomas - we have an optional year

So they both know the laws of the game but they didn’t know them in the immediate aftermath of the goal

Thinking about a sell on clause …. seriously not having that with six months left - they’re lucky he isn’t sitting out the last six months and going for nowt could be a nominal release clause if we fail to go up

Never thought I’d see someone with less core strength than ayo ……

good that enzo put it to bed then …….. Doh!

Younus needs to play wide then we can be sure he’s not good enough he’s certainly not able to play in midfield

It’s worrying because unless you can scrum you’re always up against it to put an opponent to bed. How long will we be struggling for props ??

Which is why she’s the thickest person there …..

As predicted yesterday

I’m sure he said he’d an an op a couple of weeks ago in the sky interview

So we know Antwerp can just about afford the medical insurance on Dennis ….

supposed to guarantee relegation then but you wouldn’t bet against them having it cut to 60 on appeal and then getting 100 points to stay up!
