You mean the centre back that moved from Leicester to Chelsea for £50m and is injured most of the time.
He made lots of saves you’d expect any half decent keeper to make. He was made to look good by an awful defensive display.
10% of the increase in value. The basic fee when we sold him to Forest without add ons was £25m, so if he was sold on for say £50m, we would get £2.5m or £3.5m if he was sold for £60m.
If I were the buying club this is what I would want. I guess the final fee and fee structure will depend on the level of interest from other clubs and how badly they want him.
In principle yes but for me it would depend on wages.
All keepers make saves because the defence didn’t stop the attack. That’s literally why they are there.
Yeah but it’s Sa so you have to criticise it. See Silva for any goal he scores and any performance by Nelson. We would have a great 5 a side team called scapegoat United.
Doing a quick Google it looks like he's on 30/32k per week. Something in that range should be permissable for a free, experienced, home grown striker.
He’ll be leaving Saints on a free so he’ll be expecting a good wage rise and bumper signing on fee. Free agent forwards are a premium regardless how good they are.
Agreed, it wouldn't be completely free to us, but surely he's only going to get a £1/2m signing on bonus and if we bumped that to £40/45k per week its still not a bad deal for us.
Is that half a million or £1-2 million? I think he’d expect £2 million. Wages sound about right. Him and his agent are in the box seat with it really. Lots of clubs will be selling in the summer and despite him being fairly average most teams in the bottom half plus the promoted teams will hold an interest I’m sure.
Sorry one to two million was what I was saying.
Still decent figure for nothing really. Football terms today may not seem much but it’s all a bonus on the balance sheet. Could go towards painting the stadium or somethingSorry one to two million was what I was saying.
Hopefully we should be called a top half team in the summer so more appealing
Very much this . Wages are a big cog in PSR, and why so many of our top earners have been moved on.
Precisely this. very easy to simply say that h s a free, when essentially he’s far from it.
28 this year so probably his last chance at big payday and as you say he won’t be short of suitors.
Good luck to him if he wants big wages. I imagine Hobbs is looking at him because he's fairly cheap and if his demands are too high we move onto the next.
there will be a few on here, you know this!
Where have you heard that from?
Magic 8 ball says otherwise
Hmmm I wonder what free agents may be talking to us atm?!?!?
I heard they were signing….. a big card for bully
He can certainly be talking to us now and potentially giving assurances
If Southampton end up getting promoted there might be a good chance he re signs for them.
Adams and En-Nesyri hopefully
That would transform our central striking options. En - Neysri as starter with Adams and Hwang on the bench. Sadly doubt it but would be super business.
Could it be that by any chance even slightly that he is keeping his options open?
