At 29 we will have to sell someone just to cover the reduction in transfer value that we will suffer as he gets older So what do you suggest should be the cut off age for an elite level player in this division? 24, 25, 26? 3 years ago he would never of considered joining us.

southvillekiddy Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 38 minutes ago, Tipps69 said: Yeah, ask Derby, Birmingham, QPR & Sheffield Wednesday how those other ways are working out for them? It’s not we’re in financial difficulties, we’re just playing to the rules of our governing body but I expect SL would love to get a £40m fine like QPR got just for signing someone that doesn’t guarantee anything. It’s not like we’re planning on pushing the boat out for Ronaldo who is more likely to get us promotion but saying that, how’s Rooney working out for Derby? I don't think it's the right time to debate this issue with you mate when we are on the verge of a decent signing. Happy to do it another time. Best.

Davefevs Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 https://www.spotrac.com/epl/burnley-f.c/payroll/ Suggest £25k per week (£1.3m pa). Suspect Kalas on that. Lets suggest a fee of £3.0m over 2.5 years (1 year option) on same wages (plus a nice little signing on fee). FFP: (simplified to half a year) 19/20 - fee amortisation £0.6m, wages £0.65m = £1.25m hit this year’s accounts 20/21 and 21/22 - £1.2m amortisation, £1.3m = £2.5m commitment each year. 22/23 - should we take up his option in summer 2021, then the commitment gets split over both years. Definitely manageable imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might not take that view if it was £9m of your own money. Also, I'm not convinced that Tomey is a championship level striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure a decent wage and chance to play football near the top of the championship will make him equally happy. 5 or 6 months at a team doesn't make him loyal to them. I’d say we are are more attractive proposition than Qpr at the moment anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think we can go out there and take a young proven championship goal scorer from a rival.... and not have to pay over £10 million?
