Toffolo was out of contract and they activated a one-year extension to get a fee for him. He had a £12m release clause but they got both for £10m, so must not have paid it. Flynn Downes cost £10-12m for West Ham too The outlier seems to be Lewis-Potter for £17m Disappointing regardless mind but I would have been regardless of price 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,179 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 What difference would it be now or at the end of the window? It's all the same outcome. It's disappointing but clearly the lad wants to go to the prem 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Not what we deem it to be. If we think he's worth 20mill but nobody bids we might hold onto him for 2 years and get nothing. But 3 teams bid 10+ mill, I'd say that tells us more about his "actually value" in today's market does it not? So although fans believe he's worth more, the value of Tav seems to be 12+ at the moment. Fans think we could have gotten more?..... Well where are the teams lining up to give it to us? Just food for thought. I wish we hadn't sold and he was staying I'd sooner we kept Tavernier this season and lost him for £5m next season, than accept such a low fee now. Obviously Tavernier is pushing for the move or I don't think we'd be selling him. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
TheHolgate 675 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I have to fully expect the club has a replacement lined up and good to go? Surely? Otherwise I am lost with what we are doing. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Toffolo was out of contract and they activated a one-year extension to get a fee for him. Release clause was quoted as £10m occasionally, or £12m more commonly, but they only got £10m combined for the two of them. Not sure the release clause had much impact on final fees.

Marvanelli 451 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Are we going to wait until we get a replacement in before allowing him to leave? Just like all our targets teams are doing to us. Or is that something we wouldn’t even dream of doing. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

In light of that if you’d like to go back in time and form an orderly queue Friendly tickets are now on sale…” 😂 1 Link to post Share on other sites

From the sounds of it he was happy to stay the point we’re trying to make is we didn’t need to sell him. Pathetic call in a season we are meant to be going for promotion.

TheHolgate 675 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Mcgree is good. But we need a lot more in midfield than just him. Howson is a year older. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Absolutely gutted. Significantly reduces our chances of being promoted, and accepting a fee like that just smacks of lack of ambition. I think wilder I'd gonna be raging at this tbh. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
