Carnero Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 11 minutes ago, Ghost of Clough said: If signed on a 3 year deal for £300k, £100k would be amortised per year. However, if we paid a £300k loan fee and signed him in the summer, we would take the full £300k hit this season, allowing us to spend more in future seasons. Saved me the bother, though turns out that wasn't the reason anyway 😂 Ghost of Clough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabby'sThighs Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Worst kept secret of January. He looks like a good signing! Should take some pressure off NML in particular and keep us going to glorious, glorious 2nd place. Andrew3000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 It will be to do with wages and our business plan, 100% - he will be playing on his Charlton wage for the remainder of the year before setting up on new terms for the following season. I’d take it as he’s getting a fairly generous pay increase. gfs1ram and On the Ram Page 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he any better than the other 'highly' rated winger we signed, Camara or something like that ?. Some of the posts from the weekend are hilarious. This one a particular highlight.

i-Ram Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I want to be excited but having read this thread the last hour I will be going to bed worrying that the EFL still have it in for us, Pearce is playing amortisation tricks again, we have a transfer signing pot with nothing in it, and Dom Dietrich is sleeping rough tonight. This forum is exhausting at times. MackworthRamIsGod, RoyMac5, richinspain and 7 others 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Well that puts to bed any rumours we get in the next 9 days about permanent signings... We can only have 5 loanees in the matchday squad, TJJ and CBT are two down, I think we'll probably end up with Smith and a CM (Embleton replacement) as well, so it leaves one more space for a "surprise" if we need it. I wonder if this deal structure also helps us out in the sense that, by signing him permanently in the summer and out of any EFL restrictions/business plans, we can then give him a longer contract and protect his value a little more. angieram, Caerphilly Ram, Comrade 86 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I wonder if Charlton are liable to pay a sell on fee if they off load him before his contract expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He joined them on a 6 month contract initially after a trial, so wouldn’t think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeTownRams Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The fans need to stick with him and not groan when he tries things and they don’t come off- everyone says he’s a confidence player…. So we take the rough with the smooth and the highs with the lows…👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopper Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Tee strange way it's been done may also have something to do with the 3 year deal? Entirely conjecture, but if CBT wanted 3 years, his agent was all "grass isnt always greener" and starting to flog his wares to other clubs and if we are still, until the summer, restricted to 2 year deals this could be a way around that? Either way so pleased it's done, and hopefully relieve some pressure on Nate. Anything to mitigate the risk of burnout in the squad is great news.
