The add ons aren't performance based Tobes, they are because we couldn't sign him as things stood because buying players that are third party owned isn't allowed by the premier league/FA.
So before we could agree a deal(18m with his club)we had to buy his rights from his Brazilian owners.

So where's the other £11m going then? and when?

Only the '****' he was accused of beating up was Wolfsburg, Lille, Kiev and CL regulars Young Boys.

As opposed to some part time German sausage mincers

Tobes... poor Tobes. The bile is showing.

We can't afford it
He's **** anyway
Blah blah blah.

You can't rain on this parade. The players name ends in o.

<party>

Nobody cares about affordability nor whether he scored against a crap side. He's leading the Brazil line and is a big marquee by so this board is fanboy mad at the moment.

With all due respect Page, that doesn't explain anything about add-ons, just that we're paying both Hoff. and a third party.

It explains it perfectly.

There are no add ons. The other part of the fee is going to pay off his pimp <ok>

It doesn't explain ****. Its basically saying third party ownerships are now illegal and can prove to be hard to get around at times. That is it.

Its not exactly a reliable source either <laugh>
 
Er nope, the fee to buy him out of his third-ownership contract hasn't been released so its media guesswork, and its not part of the fee we payed his club for his transfer.
There was no guesswork in that piece, it said you were paying the 3rd party owners 38% of the total fee i.e. £11m, on top of the £18m you paid Hoffenheim.

according to Tony Barrett that fee is the "add ons" and I'd say he's ITK, if I'm wrong I'll hold me hand up but I ain't seen any other explanation of the "add ons" so far?

But it doesn't say how the £11m or £18m will be paid either. Its a nothing article.

Maybe, maybe not, no idea. My point was the article you shared didn't mention add-ons, it talked about third party ownership being illegal and at times difficult
 
Ben Smith, Barrett, Paul Joyce all mentioned that initial fee is £21m and the rest are add ons. <ok>
Barrett tweeted that the total fee was £29m, he also tweeted that the base fee reported was due to his 3rd party ownership.

Keep up ffs.
