It's still all guestimates though; unless of course leaks are always correct and journalists always print the facts right?

Or you're selling to Sporting Lisbon who seem quite happy to make the details public!

It says there, initial bid £2.5m guaranteed, rising to 3m with add ons. That was rejected. Then 4m inc add ons, rejected, then >4m accepted.

If the initial one was £2.5m rising to 3 I think it’s sensible to infer the final bid would have been at least 3.5m up front.
It’s not an unreasonable assumption, but still doesn’t make it right. It could just as easily be £3m in instalments and performance incentives making the deal worth up to £4-4.5m for arguments sake. Such a clause could be promotion which may not be realised. For example, Simms’ deal is worth ‘up to’ £8m, we haven’t paid any near that upfront.

Pretty sure Monaco included the £20m (or so) bonus for Martial winning the Ballon d’or when reporting the price of that transfer so take the publicly reported prices with a pinch of salt.

Could of people in the club Coventry lounge today saying he’s about to sign for Reading on loan, any ITK’s heard anything on this ?

No mention of incomings mate, however I would question whether a 19 yr old right footed CB is what we need, unless we have a 2nd player in that position on the way in aswell.
