Theres a release clause, certainly, it gave both parties security.

If we can sell someone for big money each summer it would help massively with ffp. Whilst frustrating it’s the only way you can consistently improve the squad without parachute payments. Brentford did it excellently for 3/4 years and are reaping the rewards now

Not sure I you read Tans interview in the Yorkshire post on Saturday, but it sounded like we’ve promised Greaves he can go if a prem club comes in for him next year

Yeah if someone comes in that's a different story, but do we know if any actually came in with a bid this summer or was there just interest?

I've mentioned it before, but that Whitto interview with the QPR fan in the 'to hull and back' preview was an excellent insight into the only sustainable model for being competitive at the business end of the Championship without parachute payments.

That's exactly the game we're in - but that's a million times better than where we were under Enob.

Yeah. 5-7m Boro. Contract value depended somewhat on the acceptable fee as they had an overall budget for the transfer. Was rebuffed at an early stage, but there was cash on the table, whether officially tendered or not.

I meant from the PL.

So would be interesting to see if something did materialise. I suspect if it did it would be for substantially more than the Boro bid, which is why I was so keen for him to sign the new deal. The demand for left sided CBs from the PL is crazy.

Oh absolutely. We've protected our asset, and he gets a move if it's something he can't refuse.

If it was going to happen this window or likely in Jan though, there's not a chance in hell his agent would have let him sign.

He was never going this window though, or next. he was always going to sign.

If we're counting converting loans into permanents as signings then yes we will likely make 5-6 next summer. But that's still about a third of what we've done this summer.

Of course in saying all this, IF we were to be promoted there'd be another big overhaul. Which has been our lot in life the last 15 or so years. Either a promotion or relegation every 2 years on average (by my count 8 promotions or relegations since 07/08 inclusive). Inherent in that is a lot of squad turnover. It would be nice to be in the same division for 5+ years (preferably the PL) and getting something of a settled squad at some stage.

I think you'll have 4-6 new players, not including converting loans to permanents. Realistically, we'll probably lose Greaves and/or Oscar but that could give us a £30m war chest.

4-6 new ones is fine, but there's a chance we could hit 17 signings today in one window.

I've said all summer I thought we'd do the major rebuild all in one summer. Once you start, it's very difficult to stop

How's it work with Traore? He would be a free transfer so could we just register him at any point in the future?

It's strange though, I don't see the point in delaying it unless it impacts our squad size. Which I suppose it might, but then if we're going to sign him in January we'd have to get rid of someone then.. Surely we're paying him a wage?

Why would they sell greaves or oscar if they are trying to improve us. I really hope that doesn't happen
