We’re rich! But for how long…
A few other Championship deals appear to have blurred the lines slightly in terms of his value. If it's £8m that is a good deal in my eyes.Maybe £8m plus add ons
It’s a £50 million bonus if he scores 5 next season isn’t it
I think you’re confused mate, it was Fulham who flogges Carvalho for a few mil and that was this summer not in Jan, it was never completed in time
They’ve replaced these loans with permanent signings. I think their spending is over £100m now?
I haven't been posting as often recently as I seem to have a stalker
I've had him on ignore bur no doubt he's hovering over his keyboard waiting for every post I make
But he shouldn't bother
I'm afraid COH is on his way to Lancashire
It's not fair to blame anyone at the club
The personal terms are astronomical and virtually any player would want to take advantage of a life changing offer like this
But of course the club still have power and we have driven a hard bargain
Certainly more than the £5m Fulham offered
If there is any consolation it's that we are in a stronger position to demand a higher fee for Gus if a wealthier club comes in for him in similar circumstances with a stupendous contract offer

The offer comes via his agent
So no direct contact is made

Would be fair. Is this your best guess or what you've heard?

Terrible news, he’s massively influential to our style of play and is a unique player we’ll struggle to get a like for like replacement for.
He was also getting very close to, if not already, at cult hero status (at least by modern standards) so it makes it an even harder hit to take. He seemed to have a genuine affinity for the club and a connection with the fans.
I also hope it doesn’t have a knock on effect on the others in camp. Seeing one of our best players leaving cannot be great for morale, and may sow a seed of doubt in a few heads.
However, objectively we’re a selling club like every other one. The key is next steps; if re-invested and we pull off one/two exciting signings, plus those already in, and retaining Gyokeres/Hamer then things aren’t as bad as they seem.
It’s an absolute shitter as he’s such an asset but once the dust has settled, the funds could end up being a significant silver lining.
Also, I don’t think he’ll be quite the same player at another club. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.
I would imagine this will escalate quite quickly then , it didn’t appear that far down the line last weekMaybe £8m plus add ons
Kompany splashing the cash to make up for the inevitable incompetency. Wonder if o'hare will be bood or cheered when we play them
I’m 57 and have got used to it, even in the PL I thought there we were times when, with a little investment, we were on the brink of better things, only to see our better players being sold e,g. Wallace, Thompson, Hunt, Gillespie, Babb, Dublin, Boateng, etc etc.If you'd told the me growing up with us in the Prem, who only saw us play Burnley when we tonked them 3-0 in one of the cups, that they'd be nicking one of our best players I'd have howled with laughter.
I struggle to get over those days, have to accept I'm 37 and things have changed a lot.

Tbh SBB you're normally better informed than meI would imagine this will escalate quite quickly then , it didn’t appear that far down the line last week
Yes he has to stay fit as well!
If I was o hare I’d wait a few more days to see what else is out there…. I mean Burnley…. BURNLEY!Tbh SBB you're normally better informed than me
But once an agent tells a player the size of what's on offer the writing is on the wall
There are exceptions like Steven Gerrard back in the day for instance but usually they're at clubs that can pay something approaching the potential buyer even if they can't beat it
Gutted but one of the 3 was always going to leave. If it is 9 mill, would expect a max of 3 mill to bring in a replacement. Robins needs to work a miracle again.

Think he's out for the season injured. Also not the same positionOk I’ll put it out there and ready for the flak… how about Liam Walsh coming as a squad player? I know he hadn’t done much since he left us but but under robins and vivesh a fit Liam Walsh would be positive?
Yes he has to stay fit as well!
Hopefully he will be honest and say I came here because I'm being paid a fortune compared to what I was getting at Coventry. Will be missed but fingers crossed MR has something sorted.
The poor guy has just sustained a terrible injuryOk I’ll put it out there and ready for the flak… how about Liam Walsh coming as a squad player? I know he hadn’t done much since he left us but but under robins and vivesh a fit Liam Walsh would be positive?
