LOL.

 

doesn’t say what palace were prepared to pay 

and our psr chat was simply to try and make sure we got mid twenties rather than low twenties 

[CloudFox]

A shame, I'd have liked to see him tear the Championship to bits, especially as some reported before all these shenanigans that he was happy to take us back up.

 

That said, if he doesn't want to be here and with add ons / sell ons we can get the fee up to £35m, I'm happy with that. He'll do well at Stuttgart.

 

Now let's reinvest some of that money and give Marti the tools to succeed please.

[Claudio Fannieri]

I think it will be £25m + add ons gives us circa £10m profit on PSR 

[K789]

Imagine 20% sell on 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

I think we'll really struggle to replace his 2 goals

[Sharpe's Fox]

Rudkin is cooking something in LE2. The gamechanging baller is coming before 7pm tomorrow evening. Remember this post.

[JonnyBoy]

26 million is crap if true, would want more. At this point get him gone and sign 3 players with the money who want to be here 

[Wolfox]

Pfft…

 

He’s all fart and no poo

 

Off you fvck….

£26m is disappointing when Southampton have got nearly £40m for Mateus Fernandes

 

Especially when Stuttgart have just sold a player for £80m+ and have plenty to spend

Spot on. Odd the fee is being defended. Makes zero sense and feels like we've accepted first offer. Also contradicts the valuation Dorsett set out!

We have absolutely no clue what the fee is - not a scooby doo - we’ve got great money in so far this summer - stop with the negative nonsense with zero facts - if it was 30 ish with palace it will be 30 ish with this lot

We just dont have the bottle when a player kicks off, we've always given in

[RedSoxUK]

Bye byeeeee off you **** 

[mazarron fox]

Iv been a city fan 60 years and to me he’s the most overrated player for a long time. Some nice touches but dictates games? No, he can’t lace Fatawus boots. Stephen Hughes vibes for me, well rid ,a very poor man’s Mahrez.

[Dan]

Ultimately he's come here, been part of a disgusting team, not the biggest offender but very much a part of it and then kicked off to get out of here. I've no idea why our fans would wish him any good - extremely small-time if we do really. We've had far better than him.

 

He wasn't the biggest offender but I really couldn't give much of a shit about him, kind of relieved this is going through.

No sure El Khannouss has helped us get a decent price with his behaviour.

Went to the premier league though, always get a bit more that way and West Ham are getting desperate. 

[Lesta Legend]

Zero point moaning about fee. Zero. 
 

One day left to get some money for a player that doesn’t want to be here. And try to get some recruits in. Being so late in the window negotiating position is very weak.
 

Just hope we can get some much needed incomings from the money we do receive.

These are the marginal losses that are a constant under Rudkin. They add up over time and it's why we are now ultimately in the shit.

Rudkin Masterclass. 

 

Maybe, they tempted us with a large sum upfront and not a load of instalments. 

Bit surprised he is happy with Stuttgart though. Thought he would have got a Prem move and that's why he kicked up such a fuss. 

If he had waited and got promoted with us, he is a Premier League player again OR he gets a Prem move in January if performs well.

Has anybody actually reported that we’ve accepted £26m? Might be being dim but haven’t seen anything, only that their initial offer was £26m supposedly.

Of course not just random nonsense for people to moan about 

[FrankieADZ]

cant imagine its as little as £26mil, suspect that could be the fee upfront, but 6mil add ons(easy ones) with a sell on

these are the same sources who said BEKs release clause was £22mil bare in mind

Selling a player for 5m more than you bought them for, part way into their contract is not why we are in the shit. 

 

Those who don't feature, and are on significant wages is why we are in the shit. 

[DezFox]

If we have sold him for 26 that is  disgusting. Fernandes 16 million more. Omari Hutchinson 11 million more than bilal. Mental. Shocking if true.thats horrific
