£30 million for both is too low but £20 million each + add-ons would be hard to turn down.
 
Think we should push for a 10-15% sell-on clause for both wherever they end up this summer too. I can definitely see Greaves going for £70-80 million in a few years.

But then does that not suggest the likes of Philogene and Greaves aren't good enough for the PL?

Not at all...but with any job...they will be looking for best options and wage security. I think they will wait for a team who will finish higher up..no point getting 1 year premier wages if you then have another 4 at champ wages. But im not a player or agent. Just presuming they are like the rest of us.

Interesting question when it comes to a joint bid, can we split it however we want to minimise sell on to Villa?

That is an excellent point! Obviously buy Greaves get a Philo free may look a little suspicious, but I think there may be a margin in the millions you could manipulate.

I think the other thing to consider is keeping relations strong, yes we could maybe weight things in a way to keeping an extra couple of million but do we then spoil some of the potential of doing deals like that in the first place.

I very much doubt you can just shuffle it around like that. I'm sure both will have a defined value within any joint bid.

Yes, but we have some input in to what goes down as their distinct values and there will be some margin in that. There is also a possibility that you can share some of the profit/saving indirectly with Ipswich depending on what the AV clause actually is so maybe they have some incentive too. ST was correct in pointing out that accepting a joint bid opens up some opportunities that don't exist if sold separately. Obviously there are limits to the opp, but there will be some margin.

They spent money but spent it wisely, sold players on for big profits and reinvested well time and time again. There is a reason they've got so far without having any FFP difficulties. There are definite lessons to learn from them and definitely too few clubs with the discipline to follow their model closely enough.

I wonder how many other clubs have followed this model, but not been successful.

I think a lot set out to, but don't stick to it. The idea of buying low and selling high sounds great, but when it comes down to sticking by the signings you've made and giving them time (and managers even moreso) lots of clubs think nah we'll just splash a bit more and get someone else instead. And then it becomes impossible to buy low and sell high.
