We've had our fingers burnt in the past with deals like that & there's no incentive to play them. £10m from Saints & £16m to £20m from Chelsea in add ons for Lavia is superb business & we'd struggle to get anywhere close to that if he'd gone out on loan.I’d rather just loan without a sale. Worry about his future after, make sure he’s guaranteed minutes first. Especially since Kudus is leaving and he can be a direct replacement
Yeah but also given how much these clubs go on to sell them for, say McAtee has a great season, you’re looking at a potential €50-60m player there instead of us getting 20m for him now with a sell on clause however that’s worth.We've had our fingers burnt in the past with deals like that & there's no incentive to play them. £10m from Saints & £16m to £20m from Chelsea in add ons for Lavia is superb business & we'd struggle to get anywhere close to that if he'd gone out on loan.
I would rather have £20m upfront with buyback & sell on clauses than 2 or 3 loans & then a pittance transfer fee 4 or 5 years down the road. Patrick Roberts springs to mind.Yeah but also given how much these clubs go on to sell them for, say McAtee has a great season, you’re looking at a potential €50-60m player there instead of us getting 20m for him now with a sell on clause however that’s worth.
what sort of fee would we expect? £30-40m?
I think Cole is streets ahead of Patrick Roberts.I would rather have £20m upfront with buyback & sell on clauses than 2 or 3 loans & then a pittance transfer fee 4 or 5 years down the road. Patrick Roberts springs to mind.
We’re not getting £16-20m from Chelsea mate, more like £10-11m, still great business thoWe've had our fingers burnt in the past with deals like that & there's no incentive to play them. £10m from Saints & £16m to £20m from Chelsea in add ons for Lavia is superb business & we'd struggle to get anywhere close to that if he'd gone out on loan.
So do I but hes not getting game time here & could end up wasting that potential at City. If he goes to West Ham on a loan & they are facing another relegation scrap, will Moyes play him ??I think Cole is streets ahead of Patrick Roberts.
Seeing those tweets from city in Twitter but ain't giving a hint who he isWhat's all this wanking going on about some huge premier league star we're supposed to be signing?
