BEAT THAT @moore_94

[hejammy]

Steady Eddie gone... 

[goose2010]

11m up front 4m in add odds. 60k a week off the wage budget!

Good move for everyone involved I think. If they get him back to his best they've got a great deal. If not, we've done really well here.

[shen]

The purge continues. On the positive side, it's another high-earner gone.

He'll be a decent piece of business for Fulham, I'm sure.

[filbertway]

Cheers Timmy, best of luck. 

 

Don't really have any feelings about this other than being glad that we've got some money and got 60k a week off the budget.

 

[FrankieADZ]

good luck to him,

 

good to get 60k a week of the wage bill and £15mil in too

[NaijaFox]

Best wishes Timmy. Was always a trier here. 

[Swarles Barkley]

Good luck Castagne. Good, solid player except for last year. Will do well for Fulham I think.

 

Now onto shifting Daka, Bouba, Ward and Ndidi

[StriderHiryu]

This is the first time I can remember the club taking a fairly sizable % loss on a player, as we signed him for 21.5M.

 

We need to do it more often though, if players don't work out, having them sit around achieves nothing.

 

Castagne was decent enough for us, but time to go and time for a fresh squad and ideas.

Good bit of business.

Oh well what a pity, never mind....

With amortisation it’s not a loss though. 

[VLC86]

Love how he described the move as “a relief”. Glad he’s gone, twat.

[Balders65]

Good bit of business on both sides. Frees up some cash for Enzo to further develop the team, cuts the wage bill significantly. Best of luck to Tim in his move.

Would you not count the likes of Soyunchu a loss though? 

[norwichfox]

didn't want to be here, good riddance.

It's not personal mate Kin hell. Essentially frozen out I'm sure it was. 

 

Good luck to him but we hopefully move on and continue our own move forward!

Thank Jesus Christ

No % of profit sell on clause activated then

[Patrick]

Great news. Awful player and a complete mercenary who thinks he's far better than he actually is.

Ha I suppose so!

 

But my understanding is that we had bids for Tielemans, Soyuncu and Praet at various times, but didn't sell as they were under what we paid for those players. So 2 of those 3 ended up going for free instead, which is even worse. In the past the club has somehow ended up engineering good fees for players like Musa, etc. But why didn't we take money earlier for players like Soumare? He's just taking up wages and a squad place.

[WoodyFox]

Another one who'll mainly be remembered as being associated with relegation for me
