Gerard Posted 20 January 2023 Share Posted 20 January 2023 4 hours ago, Finnegan said: I never really understand why people get so dismissive of fees that have to be paid later on. It's still money we owe someone, its still going to have to be covered by income at some point. Regardless of the structure of the payments its going to be about twice the price that was initially reported and it's a lot of money for an untested left back. IIRC the £6m we paid for Amartey was the biggest fee received by a Danish club. The fee seems huge for an uncapped Dane out of the Danish league. I'm quite happy to see he's had good reviews as that's not always the case with our signings like Benalouane, Musa, Vestergaard, Bertrand, Ghezzal from memory. It appears his main assets are physical and mental rather than ability wise so not like a generational player for Denmark. Fee does look like the high end for Copenhagen but we'll soon be able to judge him with our own eyes and evaluate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and "I wonder what the birds look like over there" will be the depth of his thinking. He's 20 -- all confidence, with almost no experience except success -- and will rate himself to get, and stay, in the XI. If he does end up on the bench, I doubt we can expect patience. (Nor will he get much from the stands.) * I've no idea of the salary but for the fee will paying, it will likely be this or more You would hope the club have learned that £80k a week isn't the standard offer for a squad player, you would have thought this lad was easy to negotiate with and £40k a week gives him £11m over the contract term and a substantial rise from his Copenhagen contract and the chance to shine in the biggest league in the world. £40k a week means you don't mind paying a bigger transfer fee. It's also advantageous to keep salaries small if he isn't great and gives you more options to sell him on unlike a Vestergaard who will stay here instead of going Fulham or Bournemouth because he won't leave a penny behind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dames Posted 20 January 2023 Share Posted 20 January 2023 No doubt this is all tied up in the archaic processes behind the scenes where it needs to go through several layers of approval and several stages of wrangling about wording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 20 January 2023 Share Posted 20 January 2023 On 19/01/2023 at 15:24, StriderHiryu said: Luke has better base technical stats, but weaker mental and physical ones. Which sounds accurate! Thomas is not the most confident or switched on. Kristiansen's stats will also be heavily factored by him playing in the Danish Superligaen, so hard to accurately say how those technical stats match to the Premier League. This is where FM does a surprisingly good job. It's always impossible to know until a signing happens, but the Thomas ones seem quite accurate. Thomas is the one instance of a player of ours being overrated on FM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
