Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

The Shelvey transfer shows how ridiculous the Jan window is, £12m <laugh> He's only just worth half that, it maybe not alot in the grand scheme of things but its still too much.

So if Shelvey is going for £12m, then how much is an actually good player going to cost or even a quality player. Better deals to be had in the summer.


English tax <ok>
 
PL clubs have spent £58m so far in this window apparently. WTF as that gone on?
 
Sell on clauses will 90% of the time be on profit made or else you could buy someone for £10m, sell them for £10m and lose money form it!

Ps I was 2 pages behind when I commented <whistle>

Is 90% all deals? <doh>

I wouldn't put it past us to do something that stupid so why not others?

Plus, you don't usually buy a player with the intention of selling them. Therefore, clubs use sell on clauses to negotiate a better buying fee.

If it's 30% on all money then that benefits us, so wouldn't be doing something stupid
 
Grabban to Bournemouth for £7m is crazy! Guy hasn't played football all season, how Norwich got that much money is amazing!

Afobe looks a good buy though, think he'll cause few teams issue with his pace.
 
i'm surprised other teams wer not in for Gray i think Leicester did a nice bit of business there.
I rate Afobe would much rather have him than Berahaino (sp) but Grabban does seem a bit odd if the reported figures are correct - i would assume that includes add on figures for Bournemouth staying up

Yeah I thought few more might be in for Gray ad would be going for more than £4m

I mention Zac Clough for Bolton as well, looks like he's going to Bristol City though... thought might be a couple of Prem clubs interested in him.
