Just saw some Portuguese lad on twitter saying he can already see Gyokeres is too good for the league and another replies to say enjoy it while it lasts because he'll only be there for one season

Do we definitely have a sell on clause?

I know it's a remarkable thing that a player's career waxes and wanes, and you can't judge what was by what is, but there you go

Its a very predictable line with him

Bit like Van Ewijk on his debut for us then. Probably a bit nervous. Maatsen will go on to have a fantastic career
Click to expand...
Yes obviously nervous, understandably and he'll have a good career.
Personally doubt whether he'll ever hold down a first team place at a club like Chelsea.

I think he was better than Bidwell that season, and I think Robins thought so too.

Again, that's not a criticism of Bidwell.

You keep saying “not a criticism” when it clearly is. The one game robins played esbrand over him we were subjected to tiresome emojis and the comment “robins really hates Bidwell doesn’t he”

How is it?

I can say I think Messi is better than Ronaldo, doesn't mean I'm criticising Ronaldo ffs.

The fact that you said “robins clearly hates bidwell” which was stupid

The fact when we signed that loser from Crystal Palace you said he’d be taking Bidwells place

Anyone can try and make caveats

it’s what Danny does as well but it doesn’t mean they are true

It’s just examples of your desire to be popular and accepted with a forum group

It’s a desire for acceptance by trying to caveat any negativity

Not too hard to work out 👍👍👍

We were an early part of Maatsen’s development like Charlton were the season before. He was nowhere near the finished article but he was still good for us. I said at the time he will develop into a quality player. He then played most weeks for Burnley, who went on to achieve the league title and 100 points.
Im not saying he will become world class or even break into the Chelsea team on a regular basis, however he will have career in Europe’s top leagues and will no doubt become a full international for Holland.

Yeah Chelsea are going to offer him a new contract. West Ham and Ajax are interested in a loan once he signs the new deal. He has a great future I think.

Assuming if transfer hits 24m then it goes from 15 to 10 percent

Look forward to seeing him smash it every week then and be sold for 30m plus

Could buy us one player outright.

Sorry CC4L, just saw this.

Think I'm correct in thinking €24M is what the deal was for him going from us to them.

The new deal has a €100M release clause. This could get exciting if he tears up Europe like they think he will.

And I've now just read the rest of the thread and @COVKIDSNEVERQUIT has already pointed this out..... D'oh !

If that's his level, no offence to him, but that was a (low cost) gamble that never had a chance of paying off.

Sometimes these gambles work (McCallum) sometimes they don’t.

To say there was never a chance of it paying off isn’t quite true - you never know.

The next stage of our development model should be to expand our u23 / u21 groups with outbound loan opportunities for several youngsters.

There are rough diamonds out there, and as MR said yesterday - we have a development model in place.

The Abel Alabi gamble should be seen as a positive- better to try and not succeed than to not bother.

Maybe that means that if they pay the 4m add in then the sell on is 10% of the capital gain (as such)?

So, if they win league or he gets 20 goals and they pay the 4m, sell him for 44m, we get 10% of 20m uplift/cap gain?

PVA now well established in the PSV Eindhoven team. And he's 32 !!! Incredible how fast he's aged. Or did we really have him here a decade ago ?
