Looks like Trippier to Spurs is almost done, Burnley are going to have to do a fair bit of shopping and they've got barely any cash back on Trippier and Ings(Trippier had a release clause and Ings was obviously out of contract).

It also looks like Chelsea are bidding £20m of Oxlade Chamberlain.

Burnley made £3.1 million profit on Trippier, but have to give Man City 40% of that so we will only get roughly £1.8 million profit on Trippier who was our best player - doesn't look like good business but Tripps would NOT have signed a new deal last summer without the £3.5 million release clause - also the player was promised we would not stand in his way if we were relegated.

Ings is a different kettle of fish because he is still only 22 and Liverpool will have to pay a fee or it goes to a tribunal. Spurs bid £12 million which was accepted, but Liverpool only wanted to pay £4 million which they later increased to £6 million after Spurs bid. Burnley have rejected the £6 million so it could go to a tribunal.

Burnley say they want £8 million, so would probably settle for £7 million for Ings. Basically, Burnley will have £8/9 million for losing the duo....not great because they are both, especially Trippier, worth a lot more in the current inflated market, but that sum is better than a kick in the teeth when we could have lost Ings for next-to-nothing if he had joined Real Sociedad or Schalke..

I suspect you might be disappointed with the compensation fee you get for Ings.

The current record is £3.5m, but that was for Sturridge, in a deal between two top four teams.

I think Ings may well set a new record, but I doubt it will be as high as £7-8m.

Blackpool wanted £8m for Ince, on the basis that Palace paid a seven figure fee for a half season loan, yet we ended up only having to pay £2m.

Ings didn't even go through your academy, he was already 18 when you signed him. I'm sure you'll get a fairly hefty fee, but I'll be surprised if it's as high as £7-8m.

Agreed it'll be nothing like that much.

Agreed, Burnley should have taken the £6m offered. I also think they'll be left incredibly disappointed.
 
Derby have signed Chris Baird from WBA on a free. They are putting together a title winning squad in my opinion. They've made some really astute signings Alex Pearce, Scott Carson, Andreas Weimann, Darren Bent and Chris Baird.

Don't forget Tom Ince! He'll be a Derby player soon and they're also in for Matthew Lowton from Villa.
