It’s a game changing deal. Dortmund deciding to play it out in the press and us standing firm and getting what we wanted has shown everyone not to be ****ed with. Makes us look like a big, professional club that isn’t here to make up numbers. Brilliant work.
and crucially it happened quickly. No stand off. We come out of it looking like we’re a serious club whilst also looking like a club that is the place to be for players wanting to develop into champions league footballers
Bollocks to Dortmund trying to bully us into selling on the cheap... They HAD to pay up, well done SAFC, we've set down a marker for other clubs coming in for any of our talented squad
So well net around £23 million and then we don’t have to pay a % to brum on the add ONS and sell on clause cracking deal good luck Jobe
Brilliant deal for us that. Good luck to the lad he’s been great for us and I’m sure he’ll go onto greater things. Time for us to start making our moves
I think we do have to pay them. The percentage includes any future payments as well. At least it does on FM (not saying that’s gospel)
This is actually a terrible deal for Dortmund isn’t it? 40m euros release clause and they’re paying us up to 38m euros AND a sell on, which will very likely be significantly more than 2m euros
Here we go indeed. Great news for the club holding out and negotiating, well done to all concerned. Thanks Jobe for your service to the lads and best of luck in the future. I'll be keeping an eye on your progress, and hope to see you soon playing for England.
