Which part of 7 mill with an obligation to buy do you people not understand? 
 

Howe doesn’t fancy him on those terms. There’s over a week left of the window and things are plainly moving behind the scenes. 
 

Anyway… :lol: ….

Here's me thinking Bayern were storming the league since Sky Sports never shuts the fuck up about Kane.

Oh the fee with obligation to buy, yeh, I get that.

West Ham have an OPTION to buy I think.

or like Holden said, we didn't think it was viable financially.  He's gone fair enough, but think he could have been a good option for us.


So far nothing has made me doubt the process we are going through so I am happy with it.

£7m for a loan that might not work out and no resale value

or

£7m a year for a £35m player who we can hawk to Saudi for twice his value?

if that is true, i would ask why. he looks like exactly the sort of player that would have helped with our midfield crisis. capable of playing number 6 or number 8. 

 

perhaps we had concerns over his fitness, i dunno. i hope he doesn't turn out to be another diaby/madison. we have missed out on a number of players we were strongly linked with since last summer, all of whom did well elsewhere, while most of our transfers have underwhelmed for various reasons. i hope we don't live to regret this one too.

what's the point? surely the fee is going to be negligible. 

What ever it is, will be pure profit in PSR terms. 

 

Getting his wages off the books as well.

he'll be on mike ashley era wages though. is letting him go now going to have much impact on our january transfer dealings?

we'd be losing a reliable 3rd choice CB for no obvious gain 

As well as a long serving, well liked and respected club captain - If Bayern make an offer for Trippier that we can't turn down then we lose both leaders in the squad in Jan.

£50k a week, reportedly, and if we get, say £7m for him, that's a £35m player over 5yrs. We got Botman for £39m.

I could understand the trippier one more. i don't want to sell him either but if BM offer something daft in the region of £20m then it would be hard to turn down from a FFP perspective as it would free up money to spend in this window in areas where we're short and Tino can step in to replace him. It would also be hard to deny Trippier the opportunity to potentially win more trophies at the tail end of his career in Germany if his heart is set on it. 

 

I'm struggling to see the benefits in losing Lascelles for peanuts when our reserve options at CB are Burn, who has looked very poor in that position this season, and Krafth, who will do a job but is essentially a full back playing out of position, when the transfer fee for Lascelles plus his Ashley-era wages will have little impact on our ability to invest in this window.

you think they're paying £7m for a player with six months left on his contract?
