Duvel 2,446 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 So apparently Traore has an 18m release clause in his contract, which PSG have decided to trigger. If that's true then he's a gonner, there's plenty of teams that'll pay that amount. It's not worth worrying about, if he goes he goes. Duvel Lundgren pictured speaking earlier today. That made me chuckle! Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 So, Will. Any idea how close the Gibson transfer actually is? Are the clubs miles apart or is it just fine details? I appreciate you probably don't know the fine details, but I'm just itching to get the ball rolling. Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 So, Will. Any idea how close the Gibson transfer actually is? Are the clubs miles apart or is it just fine details? I appreciate you probably don't know the fine details, but I'm just itching to get the ball rolling. The person who told me said it was very close, not to do with valuation just structure of the deal. Of course if we’re insisting on a certain structure then it could still fall apart but they sounded confident. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Sounds like it could be any day then. When does pre season start? Would be ideal to have some of the more important signings ready for a full pre season with the manager and new team mates Link to post Share on other sites
Foogle 2,078 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 We may be holding on until we get a replacement in - hence the supposed Flint bid - other teams might see that we get a huge chunk for Gibson and demand an extra million or so because they know we're in the market.

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Especially considering Bristol have quoted £10m for him... (EDIT: well not quoted, that's the fee that has been mentioned in a few articles) I'll be very surprised if they accept £5m given he signed a new contract in March. Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Just had a text saying the clubs have come to an agreement, the sticking point was how much of the fee is paid up front. It will be our biggest ever transfer fee received. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 What is the biggest so far? De Roon on about 12 million? Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Downing at £16m to Villa isn’t it? Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Downing at £16m to Villa isn’t it? Didn't we "only" get 11? Transfermarkt says 13 mil euros. They have Yakubu as our biggest sale on 16,5 mil euros. Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 264 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I would guess a cool £20 million for Gibbo, is our record fee still Juninho? Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I'm pretty sure Downing was only £10m or £11m Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Less than 20m in the current market and we've had our pants pulled down, if we get somewhere near that I'll happily wish him good luck. He deserves a shot at the Premier league. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I'm fairly confident that we are getting a good price or at least market value. We've been pretty good at getting decent money in recent years. Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,218 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Our biggest transfer so far was when we got rid of Mido. We needed to use a Hercules to get rid of the fat ***. Shame about Gibson but I wish him well. Link to post Share on other sites
