Another player on unearned ridiculous wages that we'll struggle to sell. We'll no doubt have to loan him out first.

Yep.. cover wages and a small loan fee and its all good..
If he plays, he will only attract buyers next summer..

Realistically, who is going to go out and buy him?

He earns a fortune and averages about twelve games a year.
I know. Had a small hope of a Spanish club remembering him perhaps, but more hope than belief.
Anyway, as others have said - Ill take wages covered and a small fee.

It's not ideal, but it's better than keeping a potentially unhappy player in the squad. That might erode team morale over the course of the season.

He seems like a decent punt for some teams. He's decent when he actually manages to play. I'm guessing he's on insane wages and that's making it hard to move him on?

He's better than both Maguire & Lindelöf but his injury record is an issue. It's a shame that both of our two best CBs (also Jones) are perma crocks otherwise they'd form a very good CB partnership.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
Ah yes - the Bailly is a great CB myth. Until he plays a few games then everyone remembers he isn’t. Then he doesn’t play for a few months again and the great CB myth is reborn. Until he plays a few games. Rinse. Repeat. The Bailly cycle.

Outright sale or obligation to buy.
Obligation to buy unless outbid by a certain date would be even better. And an additional right of refusal premium to cover that situation.

That way you can set a price that seems reasonable now, but when he shows his inner Koulibaly we can get more.

Also options for Man Utd to cancel the obligation, repurchase clauses, sell on clauses and 10 options to purchase any u21 prospects for no more than £10m.

And an entire ban on transfers from Fulham to any big 6 rival without us having the option to take said player for a 50% discount.

That's how you structure deals...... :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Actually. He tends to come back and play a few absolute blinders.
His shit form kicks in when he remains injury free for 6 or more games.

Pereira and Baily for 17-20m and I’ll be extremely happy. Take them both please :D

He plays 1 blinder every 4 games. He’s the most erratic CB I’ve ever seen and even in his blinders he’ll do something batshit crazy. CBs are not supposed to be entertaining! Any talk about him being better than Maguire or Lindelof is ridiculous.

We'll be lucky to get £10 million for each
Well Pereira has been quoted at around £12m, which i agree should be a sell, sell, sell.

Bailly should surely be £13-18m assuming he passes a medical. Frankly that is pretty cheap for someone who has at least showed some promise.
