and sub £3m for Ben Nelson is gonna offer about as much satisfaction to PSR as Rudkin going out for a walk in the city centre and picking up every coin he sees. If you're not getting over 10m at a minimum for an academy prospect, then in our situation it's not worth selling.

Don't think he'd get very far! :ph34r:

The value of selling him is worth more than the profit of selling anyone else

 

I'm aware — I just don't think flogging him now benefits us in any meaningful way. He's going far, couple of seasons more with us and his value will skyrocket. Would sooner try and turn a profit on Faes for now.

Let’s sell Alves and Braybrooke aswell then

No. We're really short on numbers  in those midfield departments, I'd rather sell:

Iversen

Thomas

Nelson

Brunt

Choudhury

McAteer

What we'd get for these combined, plus the circa £10m we get for Maresca and staff, would surely be enough 'pure profit' from the sales side, to appease PSR so that we didn't have to sell KDH, Alves or Braybrooke?

I suspect PSR is the reason we didn't want to part with £4m for Corberan

Great. Sell him for whatever we can get then.

"let's sell off our best youngsters for nothing" is in fact a terrible plan

No, not 'nothing', but as much as we can get. And, it's not 'youngsters' but those players which have come through the academy, as it's pure profit.

 

I do wonder sometimes if people read about the PSR difficulties we are in, and understand why, and also how clubs can comply.

 

These are not my own personal choices, but they are the options imposed upon us to comply with FFP

You thought £3 million for Ben Nelson was tidy man, "pure profit" or not that would be a new low even for us

There are no profits to be had on Faes, or Soumare, or Kristiansen, or ….. 

 

this is the point

I genuinely think we could make money on Faes. Certainly the amount you'd be willing to let Nelson go for. I think his stock is weirdly quite high outside of the people who watch him every week — he starts for Belgium.

 

You're making out like I don't understand how all this works when I simply don't think selling one of our best assets "at any price" is a viable plan.

What will people pay us for him, in your opinion?

no, I know full well the issues with PSR but clamouring to sell high potential players for below reasonable valuation and then replace them with absolute guff is a dogshit idea. like, say we sell Nelson for £3m and bring in Rodan for £10m like you suggested. he'd have to be a minimum of a 4 year contract to see any profit on the books for this season and even then it'd only be £500k. it shouldn't be something we even consider when we'd make more profit without needing to replace anyone by selling Soumare for £7m plus

I hear ya, I just don’t think we get enough (if any) profit from Faes after what we’ve paid. Same goes for most our purchased sqaud

That’s not how it’s calculated. What did we pay for Soumare?

I think we could get ~£18-20m for him.

 

Are you going to brush over your other daft point?

Which point is that? 😂

Plan:

If we could get say £3m combined for these two, we should take it.

Bank it before June 30th PSR pure profit.

Then we need a Centre back with a bit of Pace. Leaving us 5 options (even Vestergaard could get some game time, if we deploy a low block with three at the back. Cooper is pragmatic. He mixes up the formation quite frequently).

Are you related to Rudkin?!

And what did we invest in Faes, and what profit would that give us?

for reference, getting 18m for him would be £9m book profit, compared to the suggestion of Nelson for £3m...

You wanting to flog bright prospects at any cost, I'd imagine!

I didn’t say that 😂 

 

We should get as much as we can

 

thats a very different statement

yes it is! we paid around 16-17m for Soumare on a 5 year deal, his contract is up in 2026 and is amortized at then 3-3.5m a season. two seasons left, his book value is somewhere between 6-7m, anything above that is profit on the books
