Some of the games it looked as though he had been at the bar prior to the warm up!

Looks like we have agreed a deal to sell him for a reduced fee of about 5m,with a buy back of about 25m.
Essentially,we are allowing Shalke to develop him,while we sit back and see if he turns into a superstar.
Sounds good to me.

So Bild say €5 to 7 million with a buy back of €30 million whilst the Telegraph say €13 million with no buy back. Who to believe?

Id prefer the buy back option,but thats also very good money.

Like Poveda. I was excited to see Matondo play when he signed but, from the games I've seen, nothing has ever really stood out. Watching Sancho, Foden, Brahim for years they stood out in pretty much every game.
Also these types of players are so common there's always another in the pipeline. I'm not too concerned really, certainly not as I would be if we were losing Doyle, who is the next big thing in our academy. He is a Foden/Sancho level talent.
To be fair, players develop at different rates so lower fees plus buybacks would be a sensible policy, should the player be open to it, but meh you win some you lose some.
I wouldn't blame the club for getting as high a fee as possible for these players who are a level or 2 below Sancho/Foden, may be wise to make hay whilst this Sancho-inspired goldrush is still a thing, even if we make a mistake here and there.
Could both be right.
If we decide not to active the buyback within X amount of time we get the rest of the fee

Anybody with that kind of pace & decent skills has a chance unless he's a complete dummy.
