Dan LCFC Posted 24 August 2023 Share Posted 24 August 2023 It's sods law that when we finally make an outgoing it's one of the least economical ones we could've made. I don't think it exactly pays for a new signing and he's also a young player of a decent profile. If Enzo doesn't fancy him, it's fair enough, but I don't really see this as much 'progress' in terms of outgoings either. It isn't going to free loads up. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted 24 August 2023 Share Posted 24 August 2023 Think we just need to clear anyone we’re not going to use out for any fee honestly. Clear them off the wage bill and take what we’re offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we'll probably be signing some another LB even though it appears we have enough.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit too keen Bologna to show they are a real buyer. Like a guy at a Porsche dealership showing a screenshot of a bank balance to try get a test drive.

Fox1norfolk Posted 24 August 2023 Share Posted 24 August 2023 4 hours ago, UniFox21 said: I've been thinking similar. We've been removing players who don't fit or play in the system Enzo wants, but majority of them will be able to fit effectively into another system. However, chucking out all these fullbacks who don't fit into the ability to merge into CB or CM does worry me. Should Enzo leave or we need a change in system/style we'll be leaving ourselves in a pretty difficult position. He appears to be rather stubborn just a bit like our previous manager. It all very radical and I just hope it all works. If it goes all pear-shape after a few months we are going to be in a very difficult position.

st albans fox Posted 24 August 2023 Share Posted 24 August 2023 Loan fee looks a little bit cheap based on the option fee they are definitely covering all his wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we need him off the wage bill, he isn’t being played so might as well get something. Not great but better than him sitting around and us paying him to do so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcfc-1992 Posted 24 August 2023 Share Posted 24 August 2023 Plenty of time left on his contract to get a fee if Bologna don’t buy him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 24 August 2023 Share Posted 24 August 2023 Just checked £17m. So we’re taking a £6m hit. 12 games - £500k per game. Cracking recruitment. You’d think we’d look for a higher purchase fee. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he does really well there they have an option to buy him at less then what we paid him for… a 20 year old with four years left on his deal.

I'd guess that if Bologna take that option (doubt it), we won't be making too much of a loss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonfox1884 Posted 24 August 2023 Share Posted 24 August 2023 Fairly sure I remember reading it being £12m up front for VK, with a potential rise to £17m which I can’t imagine he’ll have hit much if any criteria for. Therefore a €1m loan and €10m purchase would equate to around £9.5m, so a £2.5m loss. Not ideal by any means, but not the end of the world.

Adster Posted 24 August 2023 Share Posted 24 August 2023 Fairly sure no one knows the exact specific price paid for VK, nor what hes being "sold" for. So a fruitless exercise trying to find a comparison on this, with another stick to attempt to beat Rudkin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nacho Posted 24 August 2023 Share Posted 24 August 2023 That option to buy fee is odd considering that’s nearly half of what we paid for him 6 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post filbertway Posted 24 August 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 24 August 2023 Absolutely wild we're barely willing to take a loss on the dross we've signed on massive wages but we'll happily give up a young talent, who will only increase in value, for less than we paid for him 6 months ago. This club is an absolute circus 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Claw II Posted 24 August 2023 Share Posted 24 August 2023 Excellent deal for Bologna if he is dross he comes back to us, a good season and they can snap him up for half or less of his likely market value! I can’t believe he is on a massive wedge either. i get the need to move players on and only being able to move on players where clubs are interested but Soultar, Soumane, Castagne and Daka, Iverson are surely are the ones to focus on.

NewquayFox Posted 24 August 2023 Share Posted 24 August 2023 This deal is of no use to us whatsoever, we get £1million now so we have nothing to spend, then they supposedly pay us another £10 million next summer (I bet we don’t get that) we need new faces in by the end of next week, loan deals are not helping our cause… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit in bold speaks for itself sadly the only players we are likely to move on are the ones who are fairly decent players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
