Abdul Fatawu (gone to Ipswich, official)

[Claudio Fannieri]

I think Abdul goes to Ipswich unless someone like Everton take a punt. Hopefully he will done in next few days as I think this is the deal that gives us headroom for more incomings

Seen on X that Ipswich had bid 15 million, apparently Leicester want closer to 25 million plus a decent sell on fee. 

 

But we will probably settle for 5 million.

We'll be back playing in the same division after next season.

Think we’ll cave at £20 million.  Should be more but it’s us.

Which would be a record for the league we’re currently in.

Too right we should.

 

Should wake up the other clubs into making a bid. Anything north of 20 million would be great.

You have to remember he is not a league 1 player yet.

 

He is a outstanding championship winger with some premier league experience.

 

I think we will get 25 million and a 30% sell on fee on profit made as that seems to be our current sell on fee sale this season

This would be unbelievable business and I’d immediately be won over by McCarron- I think it’ll probably be around 17/18 with another 2/3 in realistic clauses and a smaller sell on, but I would be so happy if you were right

[DerbyshireFox]

They paid £12-£14m for Kasey, should be at least £20m if they want Abdul!

What's mad is we already 1st and 2nd for biggest transfer fees recieved for a players in league one with Bilal and Monga. 

[fox_favourite]

No idea how reliable this is, and most likely b-poo. But interesting that Everton are still linked with him

[Sunbury Fox]

Need to get this sorted as soon as possible so we can throw big wages at a few 30 somethings looking for a last pay day.

Yep - On 3 year contracts providing they are over 32 YOA.  We are the Standard Life of English Football.  Come to the Seagrave Rest-Home and enjoy your twilight years

Considering he ruptured an ACL recently, surely £16/18m is decent. No ?

Rudkin will probably accept a ride in Ed Sheeran’s tractor and a night in a hotel with a young man with 13 fingers.

He got a tonne of goals and assists last year in a garbage team, is 22, and played all but 2 league games last season. I don't think sides will be put off by his injury.

 

If we didn't get ourselves bloody relegated we'd have every right to demand ~£25m. As it stands I think we'll settle between £15-20m and I think that's a bargain for the prospective buyer.

If we can push the fee close to £20m, I think that’s about right. It means we will make a net profit of around £6m on the original fee we paid.

 

Furthermore, it gives us an even healthier swing on the accounts. with around £9m already amortized, we would book an £11m accounting profit in this current financial period.

Oh, hopefully we get £20m+. 

I'm just factoring in his injury, clubs know our financial issues, now League 1 & his return of 9 goals & 7 assists in 43 starts, last season wasn't great (yes, in a very poor side tbf).

I'd love us to get a Harry Maguire type deal, l just can't see it

He’s reached agreement with Everton.
