Does anybody know how much we'll get from this Lavia deal ?

Think we have a 20% sell on clause but that is usually anything above the initial fee so should be about 9.2 millionDoes anybody know how much we'll get from this Lavia deal ?

Honestly - I'd rather win that than the League Cup.I'd take their extra CL because it should have been ours! But the Europa League is bollocks.

I wouldn't. It means you either didn't qualify for the CL or got kicked out at the group stage. It's a second tier competition that has only become more celebrated because the likes of Liverpool and the rags have been in it so the media give it attention. Before that when they were in the CL it was treated like the second rate competition it is.

If the fee is now £60m, city should get bout 12m. Obviously won’t know until the player is sold.Does anybody know how much we'll get from this Lavia deal ?

Yep you can only actually qualify for it or win if you’re bad enoughI wouldn't. It means you either didn't qualify for the CL or got kicked out at the group stage.

Plus you get a second bite if you fail in the CL. So effectively you can enter five competitions while better sides can only enter four
The league cup, everyone enters. You don’t get dropped into the Johnson Paints if you’re knocked out early

Does seem a bit underwhelming ya know. ~21m for a ~60m player.
Maybe we should stick to the loans for the top tier academy players.

It’s a pure gamble on potential at that price
Yeah clearly or we'd have signed him. I mean that we could have loaned him and sold for more than the 22m we'll be getting. Obviously a risk but City should be able to forecast trending market values and potentials. The kid was wanted by many clubs before going to Southampton.We obviously didn’t rate him as a £60m player. And rightly so

Not the end of the world, just an observation.

20m for another kid that was never getting in the first team. Decent.
