Coventry have pl money to spend. No one in the pl needs to take a risk on him and championship clubs can't afford muchObviously Coventry won the Championship last season and Rushworth is English so may command a bigger fee, but the disparities in valuation shouldn't be dramatic. Rushworth is 2 years older than Vitek and only has one additional season of Championship experience.
Middlesbrough agreed a deal that could rise to £20m for Lankshear from Spurs just a few weeks ago. These deals can be structured in a way that's beneficial for both parties because Vitek would probably be one of, if not the best goalkeepers in the Championship next season if they sign him and could push their promotion bid significantly.Coventry have pl money to spend.

They sold Hackney and also got a pretty significant sell-on fee from the Morgan Rogers transfer.It's laughably low. Don't they have some money from selling Hackney?

I hate how pathetic we are selling our players. Vitek gets 25m easily if it was Chelsea. He's actually played a full season and proved to be good. Unlike some fecking no name in Chelsea academy
Do we even know the terms of the deal yet?
Speaking of Rogers - how much did City sell him for?They sold Hackney and also got a pretty significant sell-on fee from the Morgan Rogers transfer.
Speaking of Rogers - how much did City sell him for?
I thought it was maybe even less, apparently City would’ve got 25m for Vitek…£6-8m with a 25% sell on if I remember rightly

Because we’re clueless. City and Chelsea can always get decent money for their young players.Why can't we just loan him out again? Trafford went for 20m after a season in league 1, why are we selling the championship keeper of the year for 8m when we don't need to?
Do we even know the terms of the deal yet?
Not yet, only the rumored £7-8 millions.
He was rated but 15mil for a league 1 keeper was a stretch to a team coached by a former Man City player, has an ok season in the PL, then down to the Championship and then has his fee double back to Man City to then spend the year on the bench. 115, thats all I'll say.Why can't we just loan him out again? Trafford went for 20m after a season in league 1, why are we selling the championship keeper of the year for 8m when we don't need to?

Completely fecking clueless on salesBecause we’re clueless. City and Chelsea can always get decent money for their young players.
It really can and INEOS muppets just accept it, clownsDidn't they spend 10m rising to 20 on Lankshear from spurs? It surely can't be as little as £5m
And somehow we are still better than we were.If the fee for Vitek is actually around 8m, that's really poor from United. In todays market that's absolute buttons for one of the best keepers in the championship.
Trying my best to be patient and waiting until the end of the window to judge it....but is it possible we are just purely incompetent when it comes to transfers in and out?

He kept 17 clean sheets for Coventry. They obviously wanted him backThe fact that the only parts of the deal being reported right now are the sell-ons and buy-backs make me think it's going to be a fairly measly amount of money. Unless the sell-on is very substantial, these details are becoming fairly standard parts of deals for teams who operate well. Brighton included these clauses for Rushworth at the same time as being able to sell for a good fee.
Obviously Coventry won the Championship last season and Rushworth is English so may command a bigger fee, but the disparities in valuation shouldn't be dramatic. Rushworth is 2 years older than Vitek and only has one additional season of Championship experience.
So why didn't Bristol City pay up for this guy?He kept 17 clean sheets for Coventry. They obviously wanted him back
Leicester City's signing of Mads Hermanse (£7.5m) and Southampton's signing of Daniel Peretz (£6m) are the Championship's record signings of goalkeepers.
I hoped for figure around half of what Rushworth went forThis from MEN is the key bit of context for the fee.
It's fine to think we should have got a bit more, but some of the posts above seem to have been expecting a fee that shattered the previous record, which seems a bit unrealistic.
Probably because they didn’t get promoted and don’t have any money to spend but you could pretend it is something else if it makes you feel better.So why didn't Bristol City pay up for this guy?
No point as the truth is out thereProbably because they didn’t get promoted and don’t have any money to spend but you could pretend it is something else if it makes you feel better.
May as well loan Vitek for the season for 2-3 million loan fee than selling for 8. Another good season in the Championship and his value doubles.
Neither of them had the pedigree he does though. Hermansen came from Brondby at 23. Not proven himself as one of, if not the best keeper in the league and a year younger.This from MEN is the key bit of context for the fee.

This lad is easily £20million in the current market. Regardless of buy backs and sell on's we can't be doing business at less than that.
