Summer 2022 Transfer Window

I'm probably in the minority but I think spending 6m is better than signing him for 25m and paying his wages for the next x years.

Obviously the context of the traore deal and other shite makes it look worse.
 
If we had a 20% sell on clause don’t we retain 10% of the 50% that Barcelona still hold in Trincao. I’m just thinking that someone competent would have negotiated the contract for us.
 
Remember the days when we thought the club were on the hunt for a proper, bona fide Director of Football. Scott Sellars was under our nose all that time!
 
Not that we've been remotely linked to him but Japhet Tanganga is up for loan from Spurs.

I like him, pace, good in the air and not too shabby on the ball. Had a temper and clearly can be a thug if not controlled but he's young and clearly talented.

Somebody I'd like to think we could at least try for.

I think the 50% is just Portuguese wording for sell on clause. If so and it exists then it'd be 20% of anything they sell him for over £10m. Unlikely I'd have thought though.

Takes me back to the days of every time Robbie Keane was sold people thought we were still earning from it.

It entirely depends upon the terms of the sell on. If it is written as 20% of the next sale then the deal with Sporting covers it off. If it is a retained 50% interest in future transactions then you could end up in a complicated chain where Sporting sell him on for (hey, let's imagine) a massive fee of say £50m, and have to give Barcelona £20m, of which a percentage is then due to us. Absolutely no way of knowing that to be the case. If it were the case it might show in the accounts as a potential future debtor I suppose, but it would be clear as mud, as it would only ever crystallise if Sporting made a sale at massive profit.

Like I say, it seems truly shit business.

The only person I can think of that comes across as more under qualified and over promoted is Nadine Dorries.
 
Tanganga is primarily a full back isn't he? Don't think we really need a player in that position and for CB I'd rather us just buy someone's who is primarily a CB. Not a player we really need I wouldn't have thought.
 
Not been impressed when I've seen him there I think the CB signing is vital to us and I'd be hoping for someone better than that. I expect I will be disappointed
 
I really expected more from Shabani.

Guess selling those two to Grasshoppers is nothing other than a quick way to get money in our bank.

The deal with Trincao is like nearly all other loans with options to buy deals. Seems some want to have a dig at us and think we have tried to reinvent the wheel.
Loans will have a fee in most cases. With an option to buy the loan fee will count towards the agreed fee. You don't sign him, you pay the loan fee.

The Traore deal starts off well, we wavered a fee to get rid of his wages for 5-6 months. Barcelona then played us like a fiddle, as with in moments of signing him they started to talk to the guy they really wanted, Raphinha. For us to come out looking good we needed Adama to be out of this world...that lasted a month and faded. Barca also had Dembele waking up and becoming the player we needed Adama to be.
Barca fucked us and Adama over really (they owe Adama a lot of wages, but then they owe half their team wages).

Our A-Team went with the notion if we refuse to let Adama go, he will be a stroppy fuck so bent over. Only plus side of the deal is we used money saved to get Chiquinho who is going to be a huge player for us.

So to sum up - Trincao standard deal and that doesn't change even accounting for the disaster of the Traore deal.

2 serious injuries really prevented him from kicking on.

As mentioned, we are now using Grasshopper to get sales instead of loan options. We will have a fairly low 1st option resigning fee on him.
 
Agree with all that except the Chiquinho bit. I doubt it was related, just a standard low risk punt a couple of weeks before Adama went
