So keep him then. We know Philogene is going so one big sale should be more than enough to keep our heads above water

If we were in a position not to accept then don't you think we would?

Ultimately if the player decides to go to the premier league and we hold him back then that comes with its own set of issues, in the long and short term.

Besides, if we need a full squad rebuild with no headroom to play with then we need to sell him to reinvest.

Philogene is on his way back to the UK to resign for Villa, we get £13m after the sell-on has been deducted.

Has it been confirmed the sell on % applies if villa exercise their right to buy, deals like this I've seen before, the sell on % only occurs if it's to another club, not the agreed "buy back" price
 
I think we'll know if this was good business when we see who replaces them
and how much we pay for them

I think Greaves was worth £50 Million though , I might be slightly biased

If it’s £3m in guaranteed add ons though and £15m up front it’s not bad plus a sell on we are looking at £30m overall in pure profit on him
How do you work that out NT... 15 million + 3 = 18. If and its an if Ipswich sell him at some point for 30 million their profit is 15 and the sell in is perhaps 20% of the profit thats only another 3 million making 21 total...
 
I was hoping we’d get £40 million for both, but I can see why. Greaves has only learnt to defend at corners without grabbing the opposition players in the last 18 months. Philogene was a stop start player, when he was good, he was great, but he wasn’t great for long enough. Geovanni style player IMO!

Yes, though I think they could be working it out wrong, as the sell-on is based on the profit not the fee, so we're probably actually getting a bit more.

That's not really how selling things works. Fair play to Bristol City though.

He's mainly pissed that we put ourselves in this position by spunking so much cash last season when there was actually very little chance of us actually getting promoted. He was very critical of all the money spent in January, so it's not hindsight, he thought it was poor judgement then, which looks even poorer now.
