There’s the stuff I was looking for.10m euro plus 5m addon's for Fred. Awful as usual, took to August to get that. Selling him all Summer. John and Arnold are horrendous at negotiating.
Not even remotely comparable situations. If you are not on a wind up then you just lowered the average IQ of posters on the Caf by a ridiculous amount.Fred for 15 million when relegation fodder in Rice and Paqueta going for a combined 200 million suggests not..
It’s perfect. No notes.Not even remotely comparable situations. If you are not on a wind up then you just lowered the average IQ of posters on the Caf by a ridiculous amount.
30 year old, last year of deal on a big ish contract.10m euro plus 5m addon's for Fred. Awful as usual, took to August to get that. Selling him all Summer. John and Arnold are horrendous at negotiating.
United sells down while West Ham sells up to clients with more money than sense. That alone makes the comparison complicated.Fred for 15 million when relegation fodder in Rice and Paqueta going for a combined 200 million suggests not..
It’s that plus some decent fees. £15m for Elanga. £8m for a keeper who hasn’t played a first team game for us.No we're not. We're just accepting that we can't sell players for reasonable fees because we give out stupid wages.
The keeper according to multiple reliable sources has gone for close to £4m or €5m….we’re still shit at selling. Just less shit than before.It’s that plus some decent fees. £15m for Elanga. £8m for a keeper who hasn’t played a first team game for us.
It’s not perfect. Not close. But it’s better.
I will give you Elanga. Did we sell Kovar?It’s that plus some decent fees. £15m for Elanga. £8m for a keeper who hasn’t played a first team game for us.

Another word for this is better.The keeper according to multiple reliable sources has gone for close to £4m or €5m….we’re still shit at selling. Just less shit than before.
To Bayer, yes.I will give you Elanga. Did we sell Kovar?
Then by definition we are getting better as the OP stated. In prior windows we preferred to keep deadwood on stupid contracts rather than work out a way to move them on andnow we are shipping them out. The question is not are we good at selling it is are we getting better and we are undeniably getting better.No we're not. We're just accepting that we can't sell players for reasonable fees because we give out stupid wages.
Kovar is gone for about £6mil+Rumoured Buy back/first refusal/Sell-on percentage.I will give you Elanga. Did we sell Kovar?
Moving Elanga on at this stage is an improvement. Kovar I'm not sure but if there is a first refusal clause that's good.Then by definition we are getting better as the OP stated. In prior windows we preferred to keep deadwood on stupid contracts rather than work out a way to move them on andnow we are shipping them out. The question is not are we good at selling it is are we getting better and we are undeniably getting better.
Both of those are younger, better players who's respective previous clubs were reluctant to sell.Fred for 15 million when relegation fodder in Rice and Paqueta going for a combined 200 million suggests not..
P.S I am not into discussion = will not reply backDiscuss. Disagree. Fight in the replies please.
We must have shaved 600k a week plus from wages just with ronaldo and de gea aloneI think a lot of it is driven by necessity, wage bill is too high and have to raise funds from sales consistently now because of demands of FFP.
What?Fred could play every domestic cup game for me and for that alone is worth more than 25m
