Bilal El Khannouss (Stuttgart loan, official)

[jonny_wright]

Worth €25m if they take the option, do we even break even at that price?

 

Sounds like we got rid at all costs in thr end 

[Dahnsouff]

How much is the loan fee??? €25m?

[ajthefox]

So basically he plays somewhere else for a year and comes back here unhappy most likely, what fecking use is that.

[Tuna]

Lets wait and see what the more reliable journos with us say first before overreacting...

[moore_94]

Hahaha that is a fvcking disgusting deal if true

 

Done well with the likes of JJ and McAteer to end up just completing fvcking it with this one

Woeful deal!!! 

[Swarles Barkley]

So to clarify

 

- its less than the release clause

- its a loan so no money to invest

- its not even an obligation to buy

 

As much of a cvnt Rudkin is surely even this twat didnt sign off on this

[FoxOnWheels]

Basically we’ve pushed the issue down the road for a year

[Grebfromgrebland]

So we can still make a loss if he isn't bought by Stuttgart 

[FoxyPalace.com]

He will be back next season when they see the attitude problem. 

[Dahnsouff]

Let’s see the final details, these are the partisan reports.

[Muzzy_no7]

Tragic deal if true

A loan this season would suggest we are PSR compliant and therefore saving the fee for next year.  Assuming we’ve driven the structure that is…

Ahhhh at last…a response with logic and not emotion

And we're probably paying the bulk of his wages.

I hope this a journo talking bollocks, otherwise that's a ****ing honking deal. How do we benefit at all from this arrangement?

Tbf to Rudkin which is not something I’d normally say, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place on this Bilal deal. The shit **** made it clear he wasn’t going to keep playing here but no one was prepared to pay the money, now he’s out the club and not spreading toxic behaviour and he either moves permanently or he’s in the shop window to move elsewhere next summer. 

[Nolucklcfc]

No money to invest … get this bloke out immediately ffs 

[EnderbyFox]

Surely you’d just keep him if that’s the only offer on the table… let him sulk for a few weeks until he realises the only way he’s playing for Morocco is to have a good season here

Looks like hes about 3rd or 4th choice for palace.

 

Deadline day loan move to Leeds I reckon.

I meant Stuttgart.

[dooflip]

Have they not just pocketed 80mil for a striker they signed for free a year ago? How on earth has this been allowed to happen? A loan with an option does not benefit us at all. It barely affects PSR, and doesn’t give us money to strengthen and replace BEK, who was one of our best players. Make it make sense.

Yep, only sensible option really, if nobody wants to buy him, last thing we want is left with dead wood.

[Aleksz]

Awful deal, but devils advocate, he could double his value with a year over there. 
 

Edit: thinking about it this is a stupid point as they can just activate their option and then sell for profit

[Jaspa]

Just loan one of our best players out and offer the option to sign him permanently as a bargain if you want? Sound

[Lcfc-1992]

Thought he’d agreed a 4 year deal according to a more reliable journalist earlier?

Should have been a straight up obligation rather than option if that was the case
