Which was the point of the discussion above. But would then suggest Tan lied or omitted significant detail at the fan event.

He seemed fairly confident, but it wouldn't be the first time a club exec talked up the plus points of a deal, of which it is already a 3 fold increase on an investment in a year regardless of what happens.

He seems to be suggesting that they can only trigger the clause in the same league, and also have to match any higher bids on the table at the time, so it would seem we've protected ourselves reasonably well.

As always, 85% of where and when he goes next will be down to the player.

But no one else of his other summer loan suitors slapped 5m on the table and worst case will get a 10 profit in summer.

That's still phenomenal business.

I think if we go up he will stay, clubs will have the benefit of seeing how he performs until Jan in the prem before having to spend the cash. The biggest risk to us losing him ( without stating the obvious ) is us staying down and FFP

Philogene going for stupid money is phenomenal business for the club. In the period without him, I think we showed just how one-dimensional we are and this would allow us to spend big money on a replacement and a striker too.

Now we've got a clear way of playing recruitment has become more successful too, so I wouldn't be massively concerned about replacing him (not that he's not an unbelievable player)

Coventry City, Middlesbrough and Hull City are all monitoring the situation surrounding Andrian Kraev.

According to Bulgarian outlet Sportal, the 25-year-old is being linked with a move to English football ahead of the summer window.

Kraev has earned eight international caps with Bulgaria, making his debut for his country in 2022.

The midfielder has been with Levski Sofia since 2020, where he has been an important part of the first team squad.

However, he could depart the club at the end of the season with his contract set to expire this summer.

Kraev has refused to sign a new deal with the Bulgarian side, which has led to him being removed from the first team squad.

This has caught the attention of multiple Championship sides, with the likes of Hull, Coventry and Boro are eyeing a move for the midfielder.

Sofia have already found a replacement for Kraev, Carlos Ohene, who joined the team last January.

The Bulgaria international’s relationship with his current club is quite sour, with the player being forced to train with the reserves.

He also missed the team’s training camp in Turkey amid this contract stand-off, with his future almost certainly set to be elsewhere.

Kraev is a defensive midfielder that could prove a smart addition to any side chasing promotion to the Premier League.

He has made 88 appearances in the Belgian top flight, contributing six goals to sides that have earned eighth and consecutive fourth place positions, as well as currently sit fifth in the table.

Who wrote that? 88 appearances in the Belgian top flight.<laugh>
 
The offer on a buy back clause has to be accepted. The player is under no obligation to leave and it’s probably wrong to assume that Jaden would abandon ship at the first sign of a PL team. He *might*, but it’s all up to him.

greaves and philo are going to be hot topics in the summer

Greaves is 100% ready. I hope we get a chunky sell on clause because whoever buys him will be selling him again in a few years for a lot of money.

I think he’s good enough for Brighton, Wolves, West Ham, Fulham, Bournemouth, Everton, Brentford and all teams below. Hell after watching Chelsea on many occasions I don’t think he’d be far off playing for them either

Maybe, if we sold him to a bigger PL club you’d hope for a loan back clause if we weren’t in the Championship.

Could be on for big money this summer if we sell Greaves and Philogene. Definitely don’t want to, it would be an insane risk, but the amount we could demand for two young English talents does make you wonder.

100%.. anything less we’ve been robbed.

Greaves, 22, 200+ apps, goal scoring now. Imperious in the air, left pegged. Can do both sides of the game. £25m minimum imo…

Philogene mercurial talent but think there’s plenty on offer at our level for now. Clarke, Summerville, Rowe, Philogene, Whittaker. They’re all performing at top level. Teams won’t overpay for Philogene. Greaves on the other hand I think they’ll be a lot of suitors. He’s our most prem ready player.

I don't think we have a chance of seeing £25m for greaves unfortunately. I think hell go for around £15m max if there's a couple of teams interested. Unfortunately defenders just don't bring you as much
