Would have been a 17 week loan which would be under 12k a week but I assume some of the 200k would have been an up front loan fee. Overall wouldn’t have been that bad of a deal if true.

I heard we had an agreement day before then hit a snag then agreed for the manager to say no late on? If I heard right that very much links to Leonard as they had an American striker about to sign then it was off deadline day then back on again (only for the manager to say no) Since then it appears Blackburns manager is about to quit with disagreements with hierarchy so with this and the way Warne spoke about about the target seemed like it was a young player. I base this on his terminology he said kid or boy in his RD interview. So yes 2+2=4 it was Leonard 😂 Thank God they're not in charge of the US nuclear arsenal...... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/feb/06/mcguire-transfer-collapsed-after-blackburn-pressed-wrong-button-on-website SKRam, beardyjim and Comrade 86 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the EFL allow the transfer, maybe they will allow us to get the player from Blackburn as a result. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have got a wage rise when he signed for Bristol City , so we will be paying his wages of around £15k a week . No loan fee I hope . How much did we get paid ? Coming to the end of his contract , around £300k ? Swallowed up by our losses unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the most optimistic Bristol fans don't think he'll have cost them less than what the standard compensation would be (see @Ghost of Clough posts for details) and there's every reason to think that the only reason we allowed Bristol to secure his signature now was that the deal made financial and practical sense for DCFC. BCFC did it to avoid a bidding war with other interested clubs (of which there would have been plenty). Even at £2m, they've got a relative bargain.

I've looked on the Arsenal wesbite and on their signing announcement they didn't state a fee, and didn't even bother stating "undisclosed". Is that any different to Bird's sale and the £2m fee suggested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see any where a fee is detailed but there about 28 "undisclosed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at £2m, they've got a relative bargain. @jimtastic56 Do you even read what others have posted? Not speculation or pot stirring for the sake of it, the compensation for developed players is very clearly specified, and as @Crewtonsaid, @Ghost of Cloughhas on numerous occasions shared that breakdown for the rest of us. The only real risk to getting a decent fee was if he went abroad, as I don't think the compensation is quite as good as domestic transfers Edited February 8 by Rich84 Clarify who jimtastic56, Reggie Greenwood, Crewton and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
