LinoJo3 3,098 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 So we would have to sell for £15m just to break even on the fee! Who cares if he helped get us promoted tbf. Link to post Share on other sites
TheHolgate 675 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 It won't be 50% of any sell on fee. It will only kick in once it goes over a certain threshold. If we sell him for £4m they won't get £2m. Link to post Share on other sites

If we sell him for £4m they won't get £2m. Profit percentages aren't the only way of doing it though, there is a chance it is actually just percentage of a future fee. If that is the case it would mean regardless of if we sell him for a profit or not, we lose half the fee to Flamengo. Good chance you and Tom are right, just the way it's translated reads to me like it's not a profit percentage. Link to post Share on other sites
sambaDTR 260 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) Evidently Bausor told Flamengo... “Look, we really want Rodrigo Muniz. Just name your price in million pounds sterling. We will give you anything you want and beat Fulham’s offer. As a goodwill gesture you can then double it and add six million. We then came back with the offer of dividing it in half, and subtracting the amount of money they first wanted”. It looks like costing us £3 million pounds if the deal goes through.

Youngy228 1,444 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 We should just keep upping our offer to make Fulham up theirs! Then when they dont go up they will be financially knackered! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Fulham can much more manage the risk, where as we are banking on him being good Link to post Share on other sites
Youngy228 1,444 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) I was a lot more positive before rumours of deal contents keep getting leaked. If we are buying an unproven risk like Muniz then we need to keep a bigger slice of the pie. Nowhere near as happy giving away 50% of future fee/profit. I could imagine that we would be in similar position to when Adama left and everyone was going mad at the transfer fee (of which we owed villa a chunk). For me if we are taking the risk then needs to the be potential for big profit. Edited July 29, 2021 by Youngy228 Link to post Share on other sites

There was a minimum Fee release (which most people thought was half what he was worth). I know we still owed Villa money but thought they also had sell on clauses (reason villa were prepared to sell for so low) - may well be wrong though. The South American transfer makes sense as UK based players can have have ridiculous transfer fees that are over inflated and often wage expectations but only if we negotiate a sensible deal and don't get into a bidding war.

DocMartin 682 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) This lad has played around as many professional matches as his age, doesn’t appear prolific, and could be a wonderkid or a pup. I can’t see how they can be allowing themselves to get caught in a bidding war. We have Leo, they have a whole management set up that speaks his language. They have London and all its temptations and we have Yarm. I think we should get off the merry-go-round before the music stops. More and more seems to be going into the hands of the selling club and the risk on the winner. Let Fulham have this project now. The kid seems to want Fulham, lets move on. There will be others with more experience on the planet we can use who are likely to be more dependable from the off. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

We obviously have a decent chunk to spend on a striker for the first time since Assombalonga and Fletcher. Really important to get this right. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Fans screaming for them but what do we actually know about them to be spending so much?! IF they turn out great then that’s amazing and of course I’d be over the moon but didn’t think we had the funds to be gambling with so much money at the moment. Seems to be two different transfer plans, one let’s find out of contract or lower fee players from ‘smaller’ clubs. Two, ah let’s have a go they might turn out to be world class so let’s spend 6million. Link to post Share on other sites
