Adarabioyo joins Fulham on permanent deal

Not really. Let’s say he plays well, Fulham go down and other clubs look to pick him up, looking at the fee for Godfrey who just had a similar situation they’ll likely be looking at around a £20 million fee, you can even push it to a hefty £30 million if he’s somehow outstanding that still at a seemingly beyond realistic figure nets us £6 million on top of the “up to” 2 we get it’s still a pittance. We sign kids for Girona for more than that.

We are now in an era of £80 million centre backs and £100 million teenagers, if he is ever going to be good enough to play at our level 20% of that isn’t bad at all.

We refuse £18m for a player who doesnt want to play for the club and sell a player who loves the club for £2m , it will be interesting how many games Garcia & Tosin play for their respective clubs over the next couple of seasons. My guess is Garcia gets splinters on the Barca bench and Tosin develops in to a decent Premier centre half at Fulham or a tleast i certainly hope so.

It wasn't 18m. It was 9m with some add-ons, some of which required the sun to rise in the west
 
I would like to thank Lescott for the great feedbacks he wrote to Pep

Guardiola, has not recalled Adarabioyo and the player is unsure of his future. “I’ve not really had much contact with them as of yet. There is a loans manager, Joleon Lescott. He comes out and watches some games, sees how I’m doing and gives feedback. If that’s what they want [to return to City], I’ll be ready.”

Tosin Adarabioyo: ‘In five years I’d like to be Man City captain. It can happen’

Well done Tosin on your move to a Premier league club, and well done City for not accepting more money from lower standard teams, my own view on Tosin is that he is better that Garcia but still 2 years away from the reliability we need, but going to a team that is going to get hammered by top class attackers week in week out might speed up his progress, just in time to say goodbye to Stones, especially if Dias hit the ground running
 
Yeah I'm not bothered about the fee. Of course it maybe could have been more but he's still gone either way.

By all accounts a good lad, so I wish him very well. Hopefully he can do the academy proud, as that would serve as a great advert for it.

He'll look pretty special if he manages to help fix the trainwreck of a team he's just joined.

loves the club and there's never anything negative around him, so happy that the club sold him rather than another loan, especially how well he did last year. Plus, I heard we have a 20% sell on? Hope he has another blinder of a season.
 
Why can't we ever get decent fees for players, I think the last decent deal we did was Iheanacho for 25m, Otamendi wasn't bad for 14m, but that's it. 2m for Adarabioyo, fuck me that must've took some negotiating.

You can only sell for a fee someone is prepared to pay. The reason we don't get high fees is two-fold. Firstly in general our best players don't want to leave and stay a long time. Secondly the exceptions run their contracts down and don't want to sign new deals.

Sane and Sancho are classic examples but even in these cases we got decent fees for them. Sancho was only 8M but his potential was all he had at the time, plus the sell on clause makes it a reasonable deal. In addition I am not sure Sancho necessarily has the right attitude to command a big fee

Sane to get close to 50M for a player who played little football for a year and only had one year left on his contract was good value.

People say look at what Liverpool got for Brewster. Difference being he is a forward and was being chased by several clubs and has a promising international youth level record

Who exactly were these lower standard teams and how much were they offering?

Ignore if you were being sarcastic ;)

We could sell many of our squad for more money than we paid if that was how we operated.The ones we do want rid of are those that will not play in the first team,or those we can significantly upgrade - 'deadwood'.

There is also the probably high wage our players receive......They will have to be factored into the cost.

Both of those reasons don't make for high fee's.
 
I believe he had one year left on his contract? Why wouldn’t he go for a fee of £2m? He’s an average championship player at best.

Selling him for £2m wasn’t the bad deal, giving him a £30,000 a week contract for someone who was no where near good enough for the first team was the bad deal here. The club have saved themselves £1.56m this season for a player that not many teams in the championship would touch permanently due to his high wages and a transfer fee on top of that whilst playing in front of empty stadiums every week.

The only clubs who would be able to do that are the ones who are heading straight back down - Fulham.
