Tommy Doyle | Signs for Wolves | will be confirmed Jul 1st

[WallyA]

They will have still made a £15 million profit on him

Does it make sense to profit 15m on a player worth 40m?

Far more likely they keep him.

A 50% sell on clause makes no sense.

Yes because if he cost £25m, they'd be happy to sell for £40m.
If he cost £35m they'd sell for £60m.
etc.

He's currently worth a lot more than the £5m they paid and that is reflected in the clause.

Im saying this deal doesnt make sense for City, its a brilliant deal for Wolves.

Because what doesnt make sense is that Wolves will never sell him.

Costs 5m, lets say he turns into a 50m. Wolves arent going to sell a player that good and only make 25m, when you can keep the 50m player instead.

Keeping a player (possibly against his will) no matter how much he's "worth" doesn't put money in the bank. They've banked the Nunes money and now only have to pay a loan fee(?) and Doyle's probably lower wages. In 12 months time they pay £5m which they can show on the books as just £1m a year for a 5 year contract. If they sell at the 3 year mark say for £50m then they book £19.5m profit from their share of the sale and of course have benefited from 3 years of service. Keep repeating that they won't sell because they're not getting all of the profit is nonsense I'm afraid.

Wonder what Doyle thinks of the sell on fee.
As you say, wolves will probably only want to sell if they get over the odds for him so that could prevent a future move.
If he has a good season but wolves go down, someone like villa or west ham could come in for him and he won't be able to leave.

There is something unusual in that whole Nunes to City, Cancelo to Barca, Eric Garcia out, the player he replaces going to Wolves, Doyle to Wolves with 50% sell on.
Sounds like someone is making money.

Have you not paid any attention to Wolves for the last few years?

If someone wants him they’ll sell him.

Did you ignore my reasoning given immediately after and cherry pick one sentence out of context?

You realize this whole discussion revolved around a 50% sell on clause, finish reading before replying in the future thanks.

You're reasoning is still flawed. Why do you think Chelsea sold Mount or City sold Palmer? They cost nothing let alone £5m and yet they've both gone despite being £60m & £42.5m players. Why didn't we hold on to them? Why have Brighton sold so many good players that cost them relatively little? You're stuck on this 50% figure, it's still a good profit for them.

Besides which they've sold around £150m of players this summer alone.

Depends if they have to sell. If Doyle becomes a £60m pound plus player, its likely he will leave wolves, If he becomes an England International and a £80m pound plus player its almost a definite he will leave Wolves.
