Negotiating guaranteed fee is ridiculous. £10m is the release clause so that should be guaranteed, how’s its paid is another matter.

 

[Barrymoped]

Roofe is injured again?

Imagine patience will be wearing a bit thin with him now. Surely a championship team will part with a couple of mill for him.

Is he?
I thought he was in full training with the squad? I know the buffalo is still on gym work so him being fit for the CL qualifier probably doesn’t look good.

 

[SDF]

Imagine my absolute surprise that a man with a £10m release clause is going for £10m and not £6m.

Good luck Joe. I even forgive you for angering the footballing gods by going tonto in Seville

 

[wsb&warmy]

On the face of it, seems like very good business given the release clause.

Not sure how we've managed to negotiate a sell-on fee, maybe we've conceded to some of the £10m fee being add-ons in order to get a sell-on %?

Because we're getting our guaranteed £10m split over 2/3 payments, rather than up front. That's why Southampton agreed to a sell on clause.

 

[Burgh-Ger]

It’s been said a million times, but it’s not like we just sat back and congratulated ourselves.

It’s not like we didn’t want to spend money, we quite literally couldn’t due to the massive £25mill loss and the many millions in directors loans required just to have us functioning as a football club.

You can say it till you are blue in the face mate, some on here assume we should spend fortunes every window but won’t look at the bigger picture.

I honestly think they are still in the 90’s

 

[contract extension]

Absolutely.

Alfie not even in full training. Roofe injured. Sakala isn’t trusted through middle it seems.

Hopefully he's in to play friendly against Sunderland at weekend. He should maybe be a wee bit ahead fitness wise anyway as the Greeks have been in pre season longer.

 

[Broxi1985]

Yes thats what i said IF

IF Morelos goes for 1m, i will be furious
IF Kent goes for 0.5m i will be furious

IF IF IF IF IF. Criticising before even knowing the facts.

 

[Stuart_WATP]

He can be as good as he wants to be. Think he just needs to believe in himself a wee bit more.

Like Bassey, the sky is the limit for him IMO.

I'm excited to see who we go after to replace him. I felt we needed an attacking midfielder anyway even if he stayed but now it's more urgent. Aribo plays a number of positions for us. The only positions I've not seen him fill in at is goalkeeper and CB

 

[giogaddi]

Is he?
I thought he was in full training with the squad? I know the buffalo is still on gym work so him being fit for the CL qualifier probably doesn’t look good.

No idea mate, post I quoted suggested he was. I'm a big fan of Roofe but he's so frustrating.

 

[Dizzel1872]

Now we have all calmed that looks a good deal for us and can even make more than 10 million.

 

[Main Stand]

The way I’m interpreting that Athletic article, mixed with Romano is -

£6m up front

£4m in instalments

Sell on %age is better than £10m up front for me, due to the absolutely mental nature of the EPL all it takes is for Aribo to have a good season and he’s off to Spurs or Arsenal potentially*

*Not that I think he will, but we should be optimistic and it’s worth a gamble, we will see our money anyway.

 

[insanicdrunk]

Negotiating guaranteed fee is ridiculous. £10m is the release clause so that should be guaranteed, how’s its paid is another matter.

No, it isn’t.

 

[IH8Everyone]

£10m overall AND managed to include a percentage of any future transfer. A 'significant' one at that.

Good work by Ross Wilson there.

Only significant if he doesn't run down his contract.

Instalments rather than clauses is key detail here.

The sell on % has the potential to make it a very good deal all things considered. However, i dont see anywhere that says its 4m in instalments. Its add ons. There is a difference. Hopefully they are attainable ones

Is that £6m figure accurate? Or are we somewhat guessing based on the Romano tweets?

 

[FollowNearAndFar]

How so? They paid c. £10 million for Edouard, plus loan fees, plus a sell on clause to PSG. Profit would have been minimal.

Where did I argue any of that? I only posted a source about the fee they apparently received.

 

[NDC bear forever]

Do we know for sure it’s £4m in instalments mate?

Can you imagine this place in 3 years if he goes for £70m to liverpool and we had got the £10m upfront with no sell on?

 

[Main Stand]

Only significant if he doesn't run down his contract.

Time isn’t really on his side to do that, he’s not a young pup anymore. If a big move presents itself in the next 2 years, he’ll need to take it.

 

[helicopter-sunday]

Everyone is aware of that. It's crap fees compared to what another Glasgow club get that people are asking questions about.

Not true. Read through the posts, plenty of posters questioning the move when in reality it would be a no brainer for nearly every single player in Scotland.

 

[Dado's Bandage]

I was going to post in response to some of the utter shite being spouted in here but what’s the point. Place is going to the dogs.

 

[Taverneeeeer]

Do we know for sure it’s £4m in instalments mate?

No

 

[Main Stand]

Is that £6m figure accurate? Or are we somewhat guessing based on the Romano tweets?

I put 2+2 with that and the JC article which said a ‘total package of £10m’ which suggests to me that’s there’s going to be instalments.

(May have misinterpreted that)

 

[PMB1872]

Why would it be £6m plus add-ons if his clause is £10m?? Doesn't make an iota of sense - surely you can see that?

It may well be £10m paid over 3 years, £6m up front then £2m each year for following 2 years, but that's nowhere near the same as £6m plus add-ons. It'll be a guaranteed £10m ffs.

You would certainly hope so.

 

[Highway Star]

Absolutely.

Alfie not even in full training. Roofe injured. Sakala isn’t trusted through middle it seems.

Roofe injured?

He was moving freely enough, including doing some short sprints, in the training videos.

Did this happen yesterday?

 

[DazRFC94]

The sell on % has the potential to make it a very good deal all things considered. However, i dont see anywhere that says its 4m in instalments. Its add ons. There is a difference. Hopefully they are attainable ones

David Ornstein saying £10m guaranteed package would tell you it’s instalments mate.

 

[sir_walter_smith]

Athletic saying significant sell on clause and full package will be £10m

Close to £10m

 

[NDC bear forever]

David Ornstein saying £10m guaranteed package would tell you it’s instalments mate.

Ornstein has only said we won’t accept a total package of less than £10m.

I read a total package as being inclusive on add-ons

 

[pandager1]

Do we know for sure it’s £4m in instalments mate?

Nope, the poster just made that up.

 

[strider]

Can you imagine this place in 3 years if he goes for £70m to liverpool and we had got the £10m upfront with no sell on?

Indeed. People suggesting at his age he won't get a big move - how much would Ward-Prowse go for right now? I'm not saying Aribo hits that level, but at the same age no one thought he'd be doing this well in his thirties.

I guess there was a risk either way and we've went with one that has a higher potential return. Given the Europa League run and extra income he was a big part of helping us gain last season, I think we can afford to try that.

 

[Barba Roja]

£10m overall AND managed to include a percentage of any future transfer. A 'significant' one at that.

Good work by Ross Wilson there.

I hope significant is about 25%, that's what I’d interpret that at.

If he hits the ground running and smashes the EPL, no reason why he wont become a £30m player.

 

[Nightman]

£6m up front

£4m in instalments

Sell on %age is better than £10m up front for me, due to the absolutely mental nature of the EPL all it takes is for Aribo to have a good season and he’s off to Spurs or Arsenal potentially*

*Not that I think he will, but we should be optimistic and it’s worth a gamble, we will see our money anyway.

It's not even a good season. All you need is a a run of 6 or 7 great games to catch the eye. Joe has that much talent in his locker that he is more than capable of doing so.

 

[PMB1872]

No co-incidence Čolak deal now moving. Have PAOK got a replacement in yet? Lol

Clear we had to sell before we can buy.

Which for a £2m buy is embarrassing, given last year. That plus the non-movement of the shell that is NEH, the non-appearance of the Champions Wall, and selling strips with wrong sponsors ASAP all points in the same direction. Utterly skint without selling. Despite last season’s takings. Unacceptable really.

 

[Ted Rangers]

Can you imagine this place in 3 years if he goes for £70m to liverpool and we had got the £10m upfront with no sell on?

I'm more concerned that the add ons are appearance or performance based.

If he spends months on end creating nothing down there, he won't play every game like he did here.

 

[Taverneeeeer]

David Ornstein saying £10m guaranteed package would tell you it’s instalments mate.

if he said guaranteed then your right mate. I haven’t seen that. Think people confuse add ons and instalments often though

Edit: i still dont see where he said guaranteed

 

[macaloon9]

Because we're getting our guaranteed £10m split over 2/3 payments, rather than up front. That's why Southampton agreed to a sell on clause.

I mean this is clearly the most likely explanation. And means we have the opportunity to make more than £10m out of the deal. Which is obviously a good thing. But lets go mental anyway.

I think people might be speculating because he wasn't involved against Partick.

Videos suggest he's in full training.

 

[Artful Dodger]

Can you imagine this place in 3 years if he goes for £70m to liverpool and we had got the £10m upfront with no sell on?

Only time he is going to Liverpool is when Southampton are playing them there. A good player but I don’t see him at a top club.

 

[giogaddi]

I hope significant is about 25%, that's what I’d interpret that at.

If he hits the ground running and smashes the EPL, no reason why he wont become a £30m player.

He'll probably be valued at £30m before he even kicks a ball for them

 

[PMB1872]

Negotiating guaranteed fee is ridiculous. £10m is the release clause so that should be guaranteed, how’s its paid is another matter.

I work with a guy down south who is a big Saints fan. He has been saying to me all season that they don’t have much cash to spend.

 

[wsb&warmy]

Some folk on here are still deliberately posting nonsense now, even after being put right about what the actual deal is.

 

[Just_Perfect & Warranted]

Big, big loss is Aribo.
Sky’s the limit for this boy

I do hope we have someone lined up but not easy to replace someone of his quality

 

[DazRFC94]

Ornstein has only said we won’t accept a total package of less than £10m.

I read a total package as being inclusive on add-ons

Fair enough. Definitely not my interpretation of the report.

 

[Main Stand]

Ornstein has only said we won’t accept a total package of less than £10m.

I read a total package as being inclusive on add-ons

I think the wording is the issue, I interpret ‘total package’ as set in stone rather than ‘potential’.

I would think administration soon mate

 

[Let’s Gio]

Reading that it sounds as if it’s £ upfront with bonuses (presumably regarding appearances) + a sell on clause

Personally think the sell on clause is more valuable than an extra £1m upfront

Yep agree.

Good luck to joe.

Suspect it’ll be similar to 8mill up front, appearances then 20% sell on.

Just put your own cash in to top up the transfer budget then? The opportunity is open to all.

If, like me, you can't afford it, we'll have to just thank those who have funded the club, and accept that we don't make huge profits without player sales.
