Summer transfer window 2023

Wages, that, I think, mate.

That's roughly £72k pw.

Not bad for an unproven kid.

Let's hope he's worth it.

Get the 34m spread across 3 or 4 years and it’s probably doable.

If so we'd have to pay more than 34

Fair enough really. We did the same with Onana. I'd rather us sort of gamble on players like this, maybe overpaying in the long run but could have a very sellable asset from it. Even after the season we had we'd probably still easily profit off Onana, I would expect unless this lad is a calamity that we'd probably be able to do the same.

Good, sensible move.

The release clause is €40m. Sacha seems to suggest we have met it but presumably there is no agreement yet on payment terms. The €4.3m pa is wages which = £3.7m or about £67.5k per week.

 

[Bluebonic]

I think we would struggle to drum up 40M in those hundreds and thousands sprinkles you get on your Mr Whippy, never mind £40M

Wait expressed by mail does that mean email or is kenwright mailing requests in the post? Would definitely track on why our transfers take so long to complete

Bilyaletdinov reminded me of Giggs on his

Well you must have needed Giggs if you are saying that.

Interesting that he's a priority target for Fulham and also Atalanta (if they sell Hojlund) according to Romano.

Makes it seem unlikely that he is the rubbish, injury prone striker that some are claiming he is off the back of a YouTube compilation.

Well we used to do things by pigeon, but then we sold the pigeon to spurs.

 

[andy4efc]

Can I PLEASE stop seeing the occasional Weghorst shout.

He's horrendous. NO matter if its just as a "Squad filler"

 

[Tony’s Carp]

34 is probably already an overpayment. I doubt they expected anyone to pay near the release clause in the first place.

 

[MisterJ]

So we moan when not linked with players

We "apparently" (this is Everton ) make a bid for a player

We moan about making a bid for a player

Never change

 

[ToffeeTim]

Whether we pay 40m in 4 instalments or one instalment, it's still 40m total.

No I mean if his release clause is £34m but we want to pay in installments we'll have to pay like £37m or something. Same thing Chelsea did with Jackson.

He’s definitely not rubbish, that was a pretty bad compilation. We’re talking about a world where Southampton paid 20m for Onuachu, and he’s 29 and barely even a footballer so if we can push to get this done we’re making a much better investment.
