BoroJake 2,345 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 If Gibson is only allowing 50% of the transfer fee to be used then we definitely shouldn’t sell Randolph. Would be difficult to get a replacement AND other players with that Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,853 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 2.1m to get a replacement player? Wow that's tight. Is it going to be wages for a loanee? And also lol at Rudy getting no offers. Seems like my football manager saves! Link to post Share on other sites

Would this not go to pay off one of the charges we took out the other week. One was handing over the rights to funds coming into our bank account until it was settled.

edinboro 815 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 £2.1m for transfer fee AND wages. So I'd say £1m for fees. So we need some good buys. Link to post Share on other sites

This is why I’m not getting my hopes up with incomings if only 50% is going to be made available. We would be lucky to get Neil Razor Ruddock with 50% of £4.2m never mind a current footballer.

estonpidge 1,449 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 do we need a replacement CB imo NO, so that's 2.1 towards a Winger loan/buy, surely that's possible with more sales to come assuming the 50% is across the board. Link to post Share on other sites

We definitely do need another centre back considering ayala’s injury record Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm understanding the charges correctly they are set against specific incoming money from previous transfers. So this £4.2 Million from Flint will have no impact. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 So that’s one unwanted player out the door for a decent fee and wages cleared. Good news. Regardless of what’s being made available we can now hopefully look at making a signing in a problem area. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 £4.2 Million up front for Flint is a good chunk of money. Even if we are only able to spend 50% that gives us money to spend on areas we need to strengthen. As others have said, we have Ayala, Shotton, Fry, Wood, Stubbs and Friend (at a push) who can all cover at the back. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,734 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 So that's roughly around £2.1m available for a transfer fee, plus maybe around £15k for wages? Could get a winger in from abroad / the Football League with those figures. Lynden Gooch at Sunderland looks a good young lad. 23, so moving towards his peak. Or take that punt on the attitude of Marcus Madison... Link to post Share on other sites

Think we are in a position where we can't be too picky now. His stats for League 1 the past few seasons have been excellent. Think the rumours of poor attitude have scared a lot of clubs off. We need to find undervalued players, rather than just paying over the odds, he certainly fits that bill. Sure he had a really low release clause too. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Just to add to my previous post. He's been involved in 76 goals in the last 3 seasons combined. He is approaching the end of his current deal, which means at Peterborough you sign a new one or you are sold. Has a release clause of £2.5 Million which is slightly above over £2.1 Million we are getting from Flint. He is also from the North East so I'm sure he wouldn't have much issue moving back up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 That kind of money is not a lot. Makes sense that we're not shoving it all into the kitty of course but even £15k a week would take up about a third of that. I think it's more likely going to be opening us up to the loan market or free transfers until we sell one or two more. Or give us room to try and keep Fry around with a nicer contract.
