DcFc Dyycheee Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 No chance it'll be 10m. However, this would be a fantastic signing on a permanent. From what I've seen, he's just what we need in holding midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Funnily enough, right before I saw this there was two lads in the changing rooms at the gym saying that Derby had signed two players today, one permanent. Odd that this was announced almost straight after. It would be a good signing - plenty of potential and a presence in the middle of the park. He definitely ticks the boxes to what we need.

LB_DCFC Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 remember, transfer fees are A) never all up front and B) for FFP purposes are valued across the player's contract ie. if he cost £10m and was on a 5 year deal, that would be £2m per year towards ffp (I believe this to be the case anyway). After the wages we've lost this summer, which would be above £5m per annum anyway, plus the Lamps and Thomas money, I could see us spending £4/5m up front pretty reasonably with £5/6m of instalments/add ons depending on appearances, whether we go up etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's basically the money for Lampard, the coaching staff, Luke Thomas and Liam Delap isn't it? That is probably about right, but I still think even 6-8mill on 1 player if we have a limited budget is abit much to pay. Maybe we don't have a limited budget and will spend 15mill in the next few days, but for saying we are supposedly tight on funds it would be a surprising fee to pay.

EnigmaRam Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 It’s the one area we need a long term signing for with no real prospects close in the academy. £10 mil seems about right if it’s £5-£6 mil upfront with add ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Don't know much about him so had a look at this highlights reel. Now it's only a highlights reel so it's hard to judge properly till you've watched him play properly. However looking at this there's a bit of the 2014 George Thorne about him, their styles are a bit different but he's looks like the type of player who is looking to get on the front foot as soon as he wins the ball back. Doesn't look to have the passing range or ability to play through the lines like Thorne, but he seems to be a big presence in the middle of the park, good at nicking the ball away, dominant in the air, decent pass on him, surprisingly quick and as I say always looking to get the ball moving forward and hurt the opposition. If he's as good as this video suggests then he could finally be the piece of the midfield jigsaw that we've been looking for since the Eustace Thorne days................IF we sign him!

whiteroseram Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I can imagine something like £4milliin up front plus extra if he plays x many games and a sizable extra few if we get promoted ect. Plus likely a sell on fee too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennington Ram Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 He's bloody massive and pretty quick for a unit too. As others have said I cannot imagine the £10m is up front but could be a great signing in an area we definitely need to invest in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 £10m seems far too steep for what we can afford. Maybe sum total over many instalments and some depending on a few clauses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
