glebe_sydneyfox Posted 2 August 2018 Posted 2 August 2018 This is pleasing news after what feels like an eternity without any movement of players in/out
norwichfox Posted 2 August 2018 Posted 2 August 2018 Is this a wind up? Has he really signed for them? Good luck Ahmed Musa and your band of brides, may you be blessed with many petrol stations.

urban.spaceman Posted 2 August 2018 Posted 2 August 2018 The fact that we’re about to get 90% of our money back on him, plus a potential profit, is genuinely hilarious. 4
fleckneymike Posted 2 August 2018 Posted 2 August 2018 Rudkin deserves a statue building in his honour if he gets this deal through.
Foxxed Posted 2 August 2018 Posted 2 August 2018 Albrighton, Gray, Diabate and no one else then. Great.
MC Prussian Posted 2 August 2018 Posted 2 August 2018 Just now, Foxxed said: Albrighton, Gray, Diabate and no one else then. Great. Musa never was a winger, tough. We still have a week to go to conclude incoming transfers. Things should proceed rather quickly once Musa's off the books.

Fact is: His stats as a winger and striker suggest otherwise, he's much more efficient in a striker role: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ahmed-musa/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/168337 (Stats for each position on the right)

I agree but in an inferior league, he may well pull up trees. If he doesn't run straight into them that is. I hope the move works out for him. Getting virtually our fee back is quite a bonus, though it has to be kept in mind how crazy transfer fees have gone since we bought him. Nevertheless, I'd have taken the £12m first offered so anything over that, complete with add ons, can only help. Edited 2 August 2018 by Max Wall

I wonder what the fee would have been without that performance against Iceland or even if he would have been bought at at all? No doubt those two world class goals made our club a fortune. Good luck Ahmed, I've been one of your biggest critics but it was never personal and you always seemed a nice guy. I hope your brilliant for your new club and we end up getting the full £25m as the add ons are triggered.

No doubt those two world class goals made our club a fortune. Yeah tbf to the guy he's salvaged some of his status with a decent loan spell at CSKA and with Nigeria at the World Cup. Just about done enough to earn another big (financially) move and has meant we've made only a small loss upfront with the potential to be £9million up in add ons. This offer is way too good to turn away and glad we seem like we've been able to do the sale.
