Bought him for 27m € and sold at 12m€

not the best investment
20m plus up to 4/5m in add ons (arguably explains lack of playing time last season).

Signed on 5 yr deal in 2020. Current book value of 4m. Sold for 11m (plus sell on).

5-7m direct profit before a potential sell on later.

Mostly solid player. Did a job. Gave his all. Never complained.

Many many more poor investments out there.

Dunno. He was Uber gash for Norwich who leaked goals like a siv. He played an entire season for them and not one of us remembered a game he played for them when he signed.

His pace bailed him out and his best games actually came as a emergency left back if I can recall. And the less said about his heading the better.

On par with Holgate. But at least Holgate didn't cost £30mill and at one point actually looked half decent.

On par with holgate?

Don't see many Italian teams (on the up) beating down our doors to capture a talent that "at one point" in a few games "looked half decent"....

Will we make 5m profit on holgate? Despite his formidable heading ability and lack of pace.
 
Can’t hold the move against him, better for us to sell him and move on. Thought he was going to be great, but if you can’t head a football you’re in trouble. Wish him all the best

We didn't make 5m on Godfrey.

Godfrey cost 22m, we lost 11m on the deal.
Holgate cost 2m, we lost 2m on the deal.

I know it's cool to consider PSR as profit, but when a business constantly loses money, it ends up getting points deductions.
