Adarabioyo joins Fulham on permanent deal

The upside would have been a good base fee and/or a buyback. Imagine us doing the same thing with Douglas Luiz, we'd be looking like absolute fools not inserting a buyback. If the fee is so low, atleast protect ourselves with a reasonable buyback so if he turns out well, we could potentially use him as 2nd choice RCB in a year or two from now.

It's not a case of it being our model, but you cannot simply be lazy negotiating exits and hide behind that. This is a poor deal and whoever was in charge of it deserves severe criticism for it. I complain because I don't want another Sancho situation (though that case was very different and I don't hold the club accountable). I want the club to be run the best possible way and to see such a poor deal being negotiated especially on the back of the obligation to buy of Angelino at 16m and option to buy of Jack Harrison at 8m makes me think the people in charge of negotiating deals are poor at their jobs.

Harrison’s fee was increased to £10mil but he looks like he is worth more than that with his performances for Leeds in the opening 3 games of the season.

We make it so obvious that players who go on loan aren’t going to get a real chance with our first team and this depresses the market value. In addition, I reckon we let people go on favourable terms so that we have more chance of recruiting the next talented youngsters. They know if they don’t make it with City, we will not haggle too much over transfer fees.
 
Absolutely embarrassing fee. He'll do well there and go for at least £10m before the end of his contract. The fact we rejected the money for Garcia on top of it seems like a slap in the face.

That being said, wish nothing but the best for him. He seemed to really want to make a name for himself here but it wasn't meant to be. Will be keeping an eye on him and hoping for the best at Craven Cottage.

So as it turns out, he's not needed by City, neither of West Ham or Everton actually stepped up their interest and made a bid, the latter signed Godfrey from Norwich instead. Fulham did, and it worked out. Simple.

Regardless of how bad the numbers of this deal are, a move was the right decision, you can debate the numbers all day when this club has never really been good at selling, but you somehow expect them to be good at it now.

We have done some good business at times though , rabbi matondo never played a senior game , was sold for like 12 mill I believe to Schalke.
Same with Douglas Louiz never played for us , sold for decent price with reasonable buy back clause .
Inheanacho we got a fair price for .
2 mill for a young English centre half who excelled in the championship last year is a joke tbf , even in the current climate .
Also considering we played such hardball with Garcia , seems a bit strange .
Guess we just really needed to trim the squad and Fulham have had us over , I’m sure it has a half decent season they’ll sell him for at least 20 mill .
 
Hard to put into words how incredibly bad this deal is. 2m is absolutely shocking. If Garcia runs down his contract, we’ve lost Tosin, Harrison and Garcia for 10m. We’re a fucking charity
