Confirmed Signing Moise Kean

[Nymzee]

IF there has to be a clause, I’d insist on giving him a 5 year deal, with a buyback option of £58m, that can only be activated after three years.

Who's gonna take that?

 

[Nymzee]

Basically if he turns out any good, as soon as he wants to move the most we could make is £9m..

Free money. Would make us more attractive to new strikers. However we get him if he blows up then we aren't keeping him anyway.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Raiola after another payday.

No problem with a buyback but it has to be realistic, not equlivalent to a glorified loan.

If Juve want him back after 2-3 years then you would assume he has turned out to be pretty special and to buy a similar player would cost over £100mill on the market at that point. €35mill with a buyback of around €80mill is more realistic and benefits all parties equally.

What do they gain if he leaves next year and joins one of the elite? They have lost a big talent for nothing and wont really stand a chance of signing him back from a PSG/Real Madrid etc

Agreed but the deal as touted we get all the risk and none of the upside

It’s not even close to “free money”

Well it's £10m for free (ingoring wages of course)

I know if he was ours we could just sell him for £60m, £80m or whatever but it might be the only way to get him.

Not saying Brands would take that sort of deal mind.

Agree with @BirkenheadBlue that we've got all of the risk. For such a small % of the profit if he does half decent and moves on, it's a lot of risk.

Why should we be dictated to by them?

If they want rid then they’d cooperate.

The point is that it's only £10m if he does well. If he flops we'd be massively out of pocket. Unlikely as he's boss but the risk is obvious.

 

[orly]

It begs that deep philosophical question:

What price a blammo? £1m ? £5m? £10m?

I think Iceland must be running at about £10m a blammo so far. So if we get three ABSOLUTE ROCKETS from Kean, it has been worth it

I think he's proven his worth to be fair.

No it’s not for free.

That’s like putting £30 on a bet at 1/3 odds and saying it’s £10 free money.

But aren't all transfers for promising kids risks?

 

[Nymzee]

No it’s not for free.

That’s like putting £30 on a bet at 1/3 odds and saying it’s £10 free money.

If I give you £30 and then you give me back £40 because you like my dancing - that's £10 free money.

They arent selling Sandro tho mate.

They are selling a highly rated young Striker, if we dont agree to the deal, somebody else will.

Of course we can move on, but 30m, in this window for a highly rated player, seems worth it, to me anyway.

 

[Death]

I don't exactly get these clauses. What if the player wanted to go to Barca or something.
