2022/23 Amadou Onana

[NathDogg]

They’ve kept chairman Bill on to negotiate the sale of big AMA to Chelsea, so we will up owing Lille and Chelsea money….

 

[Bebeto]

He has a sell on fee of 20% and we paid 30 million for him.

If we have paid the 30 million already and we get 55 million for him we’ll get 44 million net.

Not going to bore you with amortisation but whilst it’ll help cash flow it’ll only be a 20 million profit for the accounts.

Anything we get for Pickford is close to pure profit for cash flow and accounts which may make it more likely.

Can't agree more with that statement...selling onana only helps with cash flow, not so much ffp. If he is sold, then we are in serious trouble as clearly moshiri doesn't want to put any more money in the club with msp money all going to the the stadium...all in all not a great picture. We need new owners ASAP.

 

[Llyrap]

Keep the 2 of them ....sell Iwobi & Gray.

And Holgate

I’d rather sell Onanna , gray holgate/Keane to be honest and those other players would also be almost pure profit from an accounting point of view

 

[Mrbluenose]

He's only been here 12 months and the figures being mentioned aren't exactly huge.

I'd be looking for another season from him with the agreement he can leave next year to a genuinely big offer. If he kicks on we should get one.

 

[Zatara]

He's not a holding midfielder x

Thats precisely what he is and always had been before joining.

Chelsea paid £75 million for Fofana last summer. A promising 21 year old defender. That should be the benchmark for what we ask for Onana, a promising 21 year old midfielder.

Yes, £75mil after the clause sees us double our money.

The 20 percent sales clause changes everything for me. If we keep him one more year I can see his price soaring as teams are desperate to add promising central mids. You get the right price- okay. I’m not a fan of selling low just because big figures are going around. Somebody will overpay- there is always a club desperate to add an unknown potential like him.

Not only that, every year his book value drops by £7mil which helps massively with FFP.

Its £75mil today or it may well be £100mil in a season. £55mil is a joke.

I see him more as a box to box player personally.

 

[Zatara]

I see him more as a box to box player personally.

Probably because Lampard + Dyche have almost always used him out of position to "improve his all round game"

 

[Raino85]

Probably because Lampard + Dyche have almost always used him out of position to "improve his all round game"

Or to acomodate Gueye

 

[matty1878]

In an ideal world then yes keep him in the hope he morphs into the player he thinks he is next season.
But we need cash now just to tread water and hope we can get an extra 10 points or so next term. otherwise its groundhog day for us again

selling mate and then hoping replacements are better is

 

[MACCA75]

Chelsea will be signing Caicedo instead of Onana you would imagine.

 

[granter79]

Play the long game and get additional 25-30m when he steps up this season

 

[Chrismac]

Chelsea will be signing Caicedo instead of Onana you would imagine.

Onana a higher ceiling than Caicedo for me.
Caicedo is another Bissouma, tidy, hardworking mid. Onana has potential to be an all round midfield beast.
Still can't get my head around having a 20% sell on clause, has anyone ever heard of this before?
20% profit clause yes, but straight sell on means if we sold him for the same he cost us they would still get paid?

If £55-65m aren’t huge numbers what do you consider a genuinely big offer?

 

[mikel_88]

Shame about sell on fee but if he goes would get two in and try do the same again. Dont want to keep selling players but is only way we can get out of it
