The Summer Transfer Thread

[Guest Ant]

Yes. They have a sell-on clause.

Dunno how much though

[Crybaby Bunting]

I'm guessing they'll get around £2m if the £10m pricetag is to be confirmed.

Then again some of the deals back then were very secretive, we'll probably never know how much they'll get

[Guest Ant]

Just heard it is around the 5% mark. So for £10m..around 600k i am guessing

[King Ellis]

Yea, wasn't sure if they'd have the traditional sell on clause and/or the one you're meant to get for selling players under a certain age, like 21-23 or something. Still not sure exactly how that one works.

Jimmy Jimmy Milner.

He's come home.

[ONO]

Nice to wake up to that news on a Friday.

[stokeriño]

Wake up?

*checks time*

...You fucking die now. :@

I'll like Milner again now. Newcastle are a black hole of hate for me and a few cool players have vanished into it in the past but Milner has fought his way out and has joined a club I have a soft spot for. Yays.

Pavluychenko (or however you spell it) is in London, probably doing a medical today, maybe confirmed signing by tonight (your time, anyway).

Good. The quicker Spurs get him, the quicker Berba can get his arse over to OT.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Apparantly Fergie is pretty down on this transfer right now so we could come out on 1st September with Berbatov still at Spurs and not wanting to be, Ramos with a new strikeforce and Daniel Levy wondering whether his player will be worth much in January.

[ONO]

It will be a deadline day swoop. United will stomp up the cash.

[stokeriño]

You know, I could understand if Peter Kenyon was saying "Chelsea want to sign Robinho", and Robinho's agent was saying "he wants to joing Chelsea", then it could all just be talk to put pressure on Real Madrid and the transfer might not actually be happening. But when Peter Kenyon is saying "The deal is virtually done" and Robinho's agent is saying "The deal is virtually done", why is Real Madrid all of a sudden saying "he's staying for 2 more years" - not a week after saying "he can go if he wants to"?

I don't get a lot of these transfer shenanigans. :/

[King Ellis]

Apparently you upset Real by offering pre-orders on Robinho replica shirts.

[stokeriño]

I'll admit that was twattish, but still. ¬_¬

[TheArsenal]

Speaking of which, Chelsea still have pictures of SWP modelling the new strip on their website...

I think Man Utd are not going to be panicked into paying too much for Berbatov whereas may be forced to panic sell should they get their man this evening...

That's only for international transfers (or between associations at least, so Scotland to England would count.) When there's a transfer like that, a percentage of up to 5.5% (I think) of the transfer goes to the clubs that the player was at between 16 and 23. If a player's at a club for that entire time, they will receive 5.5% of every international transfer throughout his career.

I think the other sell-on fees have two varieties - a percentage of the total transfer and a percentage of the profit. The latter are more common in the UK apparently.

[MasterOfPain]

OK, apparently we (Everton) have signed Louis Saha on a free, but I don't know if it's been said already.

[therockbox]

It's a pity he's made of biscuits, because he could be a really good signing. I just can't see him ever staying fit for an extended period though.
