I still have the fear of Everton coming in for Alfie before the end of the window.
They’re desperate for a striker. £25m and not a penny less.

They need a fully fit striker who can hit the ground running! Currently, that ain’t Alfie who looks a number of weeks away from being a starter.I still have the fear of Everton coming in for Alfie before the end of the window.
Like every other player that plays for any other club at a professional level.Man Utds judgement on a player isn't exactly a good yardstick imo.
Gilmour is merely an asset to Chelsea now.
Everton had to sell Richarlison before August to comply with FFP.I still have the fear of Everton coming in for Alfie before the end of the window.
Not in terms of fee. Maybe wages over his time with us. It was only a development feeAribo cost the guts of 3m.
£300k or thereabouts fee. Robertson is on record (RTV interview) confirming that it took circa £2m to get the deal over the line though. Presumably signing-on fee, Agents 'incentive' etc. Obviously that's a factor in any deal but I think it becomes more costly when no/low fee is involved.Not in terms of fee. Maybe wages over his time with us. It was only a development fee
Signing on fee and agents fee both high as it was just cross border fee. He cost us £2.5m+ as reported by Robertson. Not factoring in wages, if it was it would be another mil or so on top of that probably.Not in terms of fee. Maybe wages over his time with us. It was only a development fee
As per someone else has posted above the transfer fee was circa £250k. When we signed Kent for £7million included in that wasn’t signing on fee and agents feesSigning on fee and agents fee both high as it was just cross border fee. He cost us £2.5m+ as reported by Robertson.
Agreed it’s crazy now. We even get “ in a total package worth £20 million” which even includes a 4 year contract for a player. Anything to inflate the figure and make it seem more dramatic.When did we start including signing on fees and agent fees in transfers totals? There are agent fees and signing on fees in every deal, the actual transfer fee for Aribo was around £350k.
Alfie isn’t far away. Few pounds off and three or four games and he will be bang on it.They need a fully fit striker who can hit the ground running! Currently, that ain’t Alfie who looks a number of weeks away from being a starter.
I think when it’s the difference between a couple million it’s worth talking about. People wonder why we had a clause inserted it. That was also a “cost” to securing his signature. Or I suppose the opportunity cost of not having him. No idea of the context of this thread. I think it’s worth acknowledging that it was a pretty sizeable package all in, not all bosmans will cost that amount but those in demand will.When did we start including signing on fees and agent fees in transfers totals?

I don’t think I ever see that being reported.Agreed it’s crazy now. We even get “ in a total package worth £20 million” which even includes a 4 year contract for a player. Anything to inflate the figure and make it seem more dramatic.
I’ve seen it plenty. Sky in particular really bad for it.I don’t think I ever see that being reported.
I think its just so those who don't know it already, get the idea that there is a big difference between what it costs you in signing-on and Agents fees between buying an in-contract player and an out-of-contract player. There's always fees and other stuff involved but when a guy is OOC then its the player and his Agent who hold the power to demand more to sign on the dotted line.When did we start including signing on fees and agent fees in transfers totals?

I don’t think it’s for that at all (haven’t seen the rest of the thread). I usually use it when debating that the club have spent money on players when people say “we’ve spent %^*& all”Anything to downplay any deals we do I suppose!
Doesn’t look so good if we got £6m up front when “he cost £3m”
Do folk actually believe Morelos is overweight? I'm intrigued to know what weight he is and what weight he should be.Alfie isn’t far away. Few pounds off and three or four games and he will be bang on it.
Just waiting on him signing the deal
No, because had he been in contract then those fees would have been a fraction of the price.
He was OOC and therefor signing on fee and agent fees were significant. Rarely are these fees larger than the deal and that’s why they are never included. In this instance they were 10x the deal. very rare.
I actually think Alfie wud be a great signing for Everton. He wud suit their style of play, although I don’t wana see him leave mateI still have the fear of Everton coming in for Alfie before the end of the window.
Nobody said they weren’t a free transfer. I’m saying it cost significantly more than 500k to bring him hereIt's virtually always bigger when they are not in contract, as you pointed out. Lundstram, Lawrence, Sakala, all of them would have been signing on fees. Doesn't mean we don't class them as free transfers.
You’re missing the point. The fees were significantly more than the transfer. Kents fees will have been significantly less.As per someone else has posted above the transfer fee was circa £250k. When we signed Kent for £7million included in that wasn’t signing on fee and agents fees
Wages being freed up...?
I’d expect Katic to follow him , possibly helmander and Kelly too before the end of the window. Sadly also maybe wee Sakala.Wages being freed up...?
Will we see any incomings in the next few weeks at all?
I still have the fear of Everton coming in for Alfie before the end of the window.
Is he the Afghani boy?I’d expect Katic to follow him , possibly helmander and Kelly too before the end of the window. Sadly also maybe wee Sakala.
If we free up all those wages I expect a dynamic CAM to be added bare minimum
The Everton throwing money at Coventry City for Viktor Gyokores?I still have the fear of Everton coming in for Alfie before the end of the window.
Right, are we spending that banked 5 million on a new keeper? Someone start a rumour...
Do we need a new keeper?
It was majority up front was it not then add ons and sell onWe just need to be careful mate.
These transfers payments are normally spread over 3 years or so. We probably only have a half of the Bassey money in our bank account right now.
McLaughlin is enough for me.Do we need a new keeper?
It was majority up front was it not then add ons and sell on
Apologies for the poor quality photos (if they even work) but any suggestions as to who this might be?
Saw him with a group of people in the car park tonight, and a well known and well liked ex player of ours was saying to him “congratulations, its an amazing club, grab the opportunity and make the most of it”
(White jacket in the top photo)
yep, that's Malik Tillman, scored the winner tonight
Why the hell was he sitting at the blue gates less than an hour before kick off???

Kevin ThomsonWho was the ex-player?
he's from the youth team, they were all sitting behind us in cd6, lovelace was there also, a couple of them were giving or laldy during build my gallows, and great to see a couple of them wearing Rangers tops and just being fans.Someone has suggested it looks like Gedson Fernandes from Besiktas but Ive no idea to be honest… could be someone for the B team for all I know
I was trying to be discreet and not look too much like a stalker while taking the photos

Had a look at a lot of English b team players, looks a bit like Brooklyn Lyons-Foster, from Tottenham who is a centre half.yep, that's Malik Tillman, scored the winner tonight
