How much is that we have made now.
Lets hope thats the end of selling apart from the forwards.
Has Papa recouped enough or will he do an Oyston on us.
My concern if we do not make a substantial signing soon then others like Elmo, Hudd and Daws may get itchy feet because of our lack of ambition.

Call it 5m for Ince, 8m for Chester and 7m for Brady. I make that a cool 20m.
 
I get that something is worth what someone is prepared to pay - but how can Chester and Brady be worth 'only ' £8m and £7m when Tom Ince is £5m ? Or did we just do a Livermore on Derby ?

No, some idiot inserted a clause in Ince's loan contract that had a buy out clause that was too cheap. Interestingly enough no one at the club has commented on it, which probably means that it was the Allam's, or at least someone very close to them

Ah , forgot about that . But is it too cheap for him though ? Snodgrass was £6/7 m last year , and he was an experienced premier league player - Ince hasn't been able to hold down a place ( Bruce's fault or not ) , what premium on experience ? Makes the Ince deal look pretty ( financially ) good in that case ( not taking into account he's performed really well in the championship , selling to a rival etc )
Notwithstanding I thought we didn't need to sell...

Personally, after seeing him rip up the Championship previously, I'd have liked to have seen him in our squad. There again if Bruce doesn't play him to his strengths what's the point?
 
All sales are going through as Cash , no installments or staggered payments

Allam is keeping all the transfer money and all the parrachute payments

Steve Bruce will be lucky to get 3M to spend this summer
