Summer transfer window thread

[BlackGold]

The Athletic reporting we have now agreed the loan for Henderson.

No mention of whether or not there’s an option to buy. Claiming that we are paying his FULL salary over the course of the season…

So £6m-ish in salary, and presumably there's a loan fee also?
Fair to say that fee would be £2m at the very least (random speculative number) that's £8m for a player we're borrowing...wowsers.

Villa have screwed themselves with that £15m valuation. Nobody is talking to them about him and probably won’t until that valuation drops.

It’s a shame for Davis as he knows he won’t play for Villa but they are pricing him out of a move.

As was said on the vital whatsapp group, the number quoted was 3.5m

Theyre clearly trying their arm. I think we will sign him undisclosed

Worth every penny if we stay up...

I meant since Crosby . And Brian Clough didn’t think he was bang average - I’d take his opinion over a trap 2 dwelling snert ( whatever that even means ) thanks

He was compared to birtles and anderson chap

 

[Pope John XXIII]

Along with Cooper signing a contract surely?

Think it's massively overblown how important that was- he isn't going anywhere one way or another and if he wanted to, the contract provides little protection anyway. Very different to Brennan

At that kind of price its a yes from me. At 15m it gets filed under the nick pope ridiculous valuations spreadsheet.

I know . I said “ since “ chap . Meet me in the Dutch house later

We won’t be paying all of his 100k a week, likely 50% at most, plus a loan fee.
At a guess, we’d be paying £5m in total between loan fee and wages for Henderson
With a sale of Samba to be deducted from that figure.
Can we get £3m+ for Samba?

 

[Apollyon]

we got to two semi finals and a final of the FA cup, came third in the league , and won two league cups around Crosby’s time.
I’d say cloughies judgment was still pretty good then

He didn't play against Luton in 89 when we won
He didn't play against Oldham in 90 when we won
He played against spuds in 91 when we lost
He played against manure in 92 when we lost

Athletic says its 100% of his salary via NFFC.

So did Birtles and Anderson and both were infinitely better than Crosby who was bang average.

Which Anderson ? Paul seems to have come from Liverpool, and Viv made his debut at 18, presumably from our youth team (if we had one then !)

Ahh you’re talking about the actual finals - I see. I was talking about his contributions in getting us to those finals and winning enough points to come third behind arsenal and Liverpool. He was a very underrated player along with Garry Parker.

Er he meant Viv

Woan?

But I guess he was a bit wank in the beginning as well.

Clough said that Crosby was the bravest player he had ever managed.

I suspect the negotiations about an option to buy have centered around us wanting that money knocked off the final set price if we take the option

Yeah, sensible option if true.
