Take it maths isn’t your strong point. We only paid a development fee of £2-300k for Aribo. If we gave paid him £2-2.5m then we still make a profit of £7m. With a sell on clause. If we don’t get all money you front that also is fine. Not unusual.

6m or nothing? I know what i would rather.
Is the correct answer lol.
Big Calvin strikes me as a likeable, confident bloke who will make friends wherever he goes. I’m sure he will back himself to love life wherever he ends up. If that is the case he doesn’t really need to sign an extension just because he loves it here, he can bide his time secure in the knowledge that he’ll love the next place too. It is extremely easy to offer him a new contract, but not so easy to make him sign it. Is that Ross Wilson’s fault? Apparently we’ve priced him at 25m, could we afford the wages of a 25m player? If his agent is worth his salt that’s what he’d be looking for if we offered a new contract.
If he signs and comes away with any snash, Goldson will pin him to the wall.
If you were paying attention (which you obviously arent), you'd realise that more and more players are running down their contracts. This gives them the following advantages
That's my only concern. If he comes and plays well we will overlook most off field discretions.
Yep, and as I said before, most of the worst offenders only have usernames created recently, certainly in the last few months, telling me they were probably banned before for incessant pish.
Really cba getting into another debate about this but who says that's the choice? It's not the only options btw.
It’s £10 mill in the pokey mate. People losing their minds because it’s only £6 up front are unhinged or rabble rousers. It’s not ideal but it is what it is. We may even get another wee bump in a year or two if he gets a bigger move to another club for big dollar.
You are a lost cause
I take it talking like an adult is not yours? The £300k is what we paid Charlton. It ignores the hefty signing on fees we paid him and his agent.
In your opinion.
Nobody knows ths add ons that's the problem, 6 million upfront is dreadful in my opinion. Would the folk defending it be happy with 6 million for Morelos and Kent? Doubt it very much.
Especially with rumours of Palace also being interested. I know we can't entice a bidding war that would take the fee to more than the release clause but surely we can garner enough interest to get the full whack up front with the sell-on
Would we rather accept nothing as they walk away? Players hold all the power.
Sign me up!!
Why on earth would you pay 10m plus a sell on up front when you only have to pay 10m?
Celtic have bought a LB and a reserve keeper whilst losing two midfielders…why is this strengthening!?
Who's fault is it we're in this position with key players contracts running down?
Yes, you are right, there are a lot of people on here who still think the club can behave like Jim McLean in his Tannadice days.
It would be good but it is hard to square the thought with how Southampton, a team with not a kick in the arse off £100 million coming in for tv money this season, would look to give up a decent potential future fee for the sake of saving £4 million today.
Erm... They've spent money on Jota and Carter Vickers? Are we just pretending signing two players permanently that played a massive part in them winning a double isn't strengthing?
Not if the player has said 'i want to go to Southampton'.
They have the same team as last season and it has stung them for £17 million. That is weaker, not stronger.
Hasn't improved their first xi from last season.
That Alan Nixon who seems to be the go to guy on lower league E glish moves has said he's not heard were one of the teams interested.
They don't but do they? They've spent money on a new left back aswell.
They've signed a new left back for 4 million, id assume they'd fancy him to start matches at that price.
Not arriving later in week?
You haven’t got a clue what the deal is. You are talking utter shite.
He’s there already
100 fucking percent.
He’s there.
Well, if that had been your point, you would have had a point. As it turns out, you have just repeated MY point back to me. Well done.
