It's Quiet the £250m return

Sick of saying this but the £25m quote is yet another example of us undervaluing our players. Gittens is £55m and isn't in the same league as mcatee. I know his contract reduces the price dramatically but that's still a pitance. If we were looking to buy the England u-21 captain, we'd be quoted at least double what we're looking at getting.
 
Chelsea bought Another player that’s then at around 200m spent look if there wasn’t ffp no one would give a toss but because other clubs are struggling to buy, even though they have rich owner can’t at the moment they have to wait till after this financial year!

I agree that we undervalue our players, gittens has no where near as much talent or potential as Mcatee.

We haven’t sold him yet. He is older than Gittens with a less contract and it’s not overpaying Chelsea looking to buy McAtee. Plus we will be incerting buy back and sell on and bonuses.

Loads of rival fans have said how can we be getting so much for your players that we don’t even play. In fact cut many said the same on here some how it’s different this summer or maybe it’s since Palmer left

Age is negligible, not as if one is pushing 30. Chelsea aren't overpaying, it's market value, we just sell below it so often that it's making you think they're overpaying. Quansah going for £35m, jobe bellingham went to dortmund for £30m after a year in the championship, we're interested in livramento and numbers are starting at £70m, there's many examples of other young less talented english players going for more than we sell ours for.

When is the last time a buy back clause benefitted us? They cost us money every transfer and we never benefit from them. We had a buyback on Lavia that we couldn't even exercise, we had a buy back on delap who went for well under his value and we didnt benefit from it in any way. Meanwhile, every time we include one, we lose out on extra transfer fee. Clubs buying from us are probably asking for buy back clauses to be included to reduce the cost, knowing there's little to no downside for them.

Why would we care what rival fans say? They understandably haven't got a clue about our youngsters on the fringes, the same way i haven't got a scooby about other teams rising stars either. There's multiple examples of us selling academy players and within a very short period, they're being valued or even sold on for significantly more.
 
McAtee is worth what someone wants to pay, we could set a 50m price tag and no one buys him and then he’s sat in the stands till he walks on a free. I guess people would prefer that then getting 25m (plus future bonuses) in the door now and strengthen our team immediately.

There is absolutely zero relevance what Chelsea are spending on Gittens.

In the same way us getting Cherki and Reijnders for less than what their so called market value was.

Lavia is a very good player but never fit, Delap lightyears away from being the quality to get n our side

I don’t care what rival fans think I am just point out that people have very different options on our ability to sell at the best possible price in fact here has been very positive in recent times about our ability to sell. Until possibly Palamer. I think I specifically remember Buzunu and Gunn as examples.

We benefited from Angelino buy back

Do you think we are turning down higher offers ?


You mention Jobe Bellingham after mentioning Gittens again like Gittens he is younger again and assume has a longer contract than McAtee. Also we actually want to move McAtee on

I'm always amazed how triggered some of you get by random posts on social media, you then seem to accept them as facts.

Also, McAtee will be leaving for a reason, he's not as good as some of you seem to think.

If your post is about Mcatee then its Jack Gaughan who has mentioned the fee?

The dip will be asking for north of £40m for Elliott I suspect, yet we're reportedly prepared to take £25m????

When you consider Birmingham paid £20m for Stansfield it's ridiculous.

All to do with length of contract. Elliot has two years left but James is now in his final year. If he had 2 years left the fee would be more like 40m.

Not just McAtee no, but that said Gaughan said MORE than £25 million and yet people are posting as if he's already gone for exactly £25 mill. The same for Elliot, who social media are claiming the murderers want £40 mill for, but no one has actually bid that have they?
 
Mcatee is average - he isn’t good enough for us. Whatever fee we do get will go towards someone we actually need

As for Chelsea, they just keep buying more players of the same level
Only thing they have upgraded is squad depth. Miles off winning anything
