Jack Willow Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 4 hours ago, gccrowdpleaser said: It's not going to be 10 million is it let's be honest. If we were to get him it would be on loan for the rest of this season with a guaranteed purchase in the summer. No way would that guaranteed purchase price of £10m. He cost €1.26m 18 months ago and has played 27 games in that time. They can obviously demand whatever they wish but I wouldn't expect a fee of more than 3 or 4m at most. I also don't think he's worth 10 million (... dollars, pounds sterling, euros). As I've read recently four biggest Turkish football clubs (Fenerbache, Galatasaray, Besiktas and Tranzonspor) are in debts over 2.6bn $ (+- 2 bn £) https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/01/turkey-plans-debt-restructuring-top-football-clubs-190110095601340.html It's quite possible they need to sell him in order to balance their books. I also think the most likely price would be around 4-5£ million plus add-ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 If we can only pay half of the valuation I would assume the talks will be pretty brief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not small for any position apart from central defender and obviously goal keeper That's only a 'perfect sized chip' taller than Holmes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dno if someone called me and offered me half value for something I'd just put the phone down on the desk and leave the line open as punishment. If they're persistent they could stay on that line forever. I do the same with cold callers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason he ended up in Turkey was because Cocu brought him there. He is a dual national. His parents immigrated from Turkey to Holland. Cocu was NOT the only reason he ended up in Turkey. I am not Turkish but speak the lingo and watch the league. All of this is irrelevant as thankfully its not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said a couple of weeks back there would be no chance of us signing him. Are you sure he's on about the same bloke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to know his stuff when it comes to Turkish football, although he warned me from day 1 that Cocu wouldnt succeed at Derby and wouldnt last the season, so what does he know hey.

Raich Carter Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 15 hours ago, SilentRam said: He is not good. Turkish league is very sub standard. MLS is a higher quality. This would be a terrible purchase. It really bothers me when a manager seems to go find ex players too. I thought Cocu could pick up the phone to Barca where he played and ask which youngster is available for loan. Why wouldn’t you like it when a manager signs an ex-player? Surely that removes some of the guesswork - he basically knows what he’s getting...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboto Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Also translates as "rented". Perhaps a loan to the end of the season? Hopefully with an option to buy. I think this is the transfer rumour at the minute that excites me the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Here's a turkish journo with a tick stating that Cocu and Derby's interest is real. In England, when one more general source says there's a deal in the works and a verified individual confirms there's interest, it tends to have legs.
