Summer transfer thread

I’ve been off 4 weeks so far. Another 8 to go on the sick. I’m dreading my inbox when I go back in October!!!

 

What is the point of these accounts? Seems weird to me people spend their time. Suppose I am an old fart, but some of the internet is absolute garbage.

 

I agree, but I find some of the Laura Kuenssberg parody account wind ups quite amusing, like the one about the liar getting his hairdresser pregnant and shipped back to Canada...

 

If it’s obvious parody it can be good. If it’s pretending to be someone it’s weird

 

Cirkin deal. Rumoured 6m buy back which expires June 2024. Any idea how this works. Could spurs bid the 6 mil and the player turns it down? Or would a contract already be in agreement? Can't imagine a contract being in place but curious. On current form, spurs would be wise to take him back in a year or 2 time and flog him for more should he continue to improve

 

I hope there is something in the deal that says they can only activate the clause and sign him back to keep him 2 or 3 seasons before being allowed to sell him.

 

Yeah, the buy back clause is an agreed price only.

 

Took a new job start of the year managing projects, I was running a team of about 40 engineers before - I’ve gone from getting about 50 emails a day to 10 if I’m lucky and it’s only generally responses to my own emails. It’s absolute f**king bliss I don’t envy you at all

Anyone heard anything in relation to announcements? Hoping JPVH is announced early in the week and in contention for the Norwich game!

 

The fee itself is agreed but nothing else. Cirkin would have to agree to go there.

but there’s absolutely nothing stopping spurs buying him for £6m (if that’s the price), selling him for £10m immediately and then giving him / his agent £1m for the service.

essentially means we are never likely to get more for him than whatever the price agrees with spurs is. As if he’s ever worth more, spurs can incentivise him to move via them.

it’s all part of the risk we take signing players with this kinda deal. Well worth it in my opinion.

 

I suppose Spurs could buy him back for £6 million and sell him to us for £10 million. Net cost to us is £4 million and everyone is happy!

 

Isnt it up to the player in these type of arrangements, if he doesn’t want to go back to spurs and wants to stay at us what happens then. Do we give spurs £6 mil or get him for nothing cause he’s out of contract

 

I was thinking along these lines. If we rate him, may be worth buy the clause out of the contract for a few mil.

 

Looks like Tasmin Archer is off to a championship club other than Preston if Sarr joins Villa. Hope it’s us. Maybe Monday is the new Friday.

 

Its a no from me, she hasn't had much game time since sleeping satellite in the 90's

 

That's was my thoughts I'd be having a chat with Spurs see how much they would want to buy the clause out of the contract now. Imo any deal like this should be put in place so the buying back club can only do so if they are going to play him.

 

I blame it on the moonlit sky

 

Don’t think the buy back clause is tied to his contract. I think it will be between us and spurs. So if Cirkin signs a new deal here it won’t affect the buy back clause

As mentioned we could perhaps offer spurs some money to buy them out of that contract tho

 

He is our player. The only thing agreed is the fee if Spurs want to re- sign him. He’s under no obligation to agree a move to Spurs but they are likely to make it attractive if they pursued it.

 

Think the buy back only applies to this contract and wouldn’t be relevant if he signed a new one.

 

MLF though
