SBB Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Whether he goes for 50p or £5m, it will be reported as “undisclosed”. The proof will be in what we do next. If absolutely nothing happens, we can assume he went for the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Imagine we were in the process of buying Nagy just now. An Hungarian International, who has just had (by pretty common consent) a very strong Euros. Would we honestly expect to get him on a free or for as little as £1/2m, as some are suggesting? P. S. Just seen post that seems to confirm free. Can only conclude that Nagy is determined to leave, won't feature ahead of other midfield options and therefore free transfer makes it happen so we can free up wages immediately. This could be crucial in bringing in reinforcements in priority areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s deluded & then there’s thinking a Serie B club would ever pay £5m for a player who can’t get in our squad & who is OoC next summer.

Why not tell them to shove it and await a better bid? Even if we end up keeping him as a squad player, that's better than losing him for nothing. So we believe an tweet in Italian immediately , maybe but I don’t think so , we will see but hear there is definitely a fee on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the free transfer bit is true, I very much suspect City will have said, if we let you go for free, it’s up to Pisa to sort out your financial terms, we ain’t giving up a fee and continuing to pay your wages. The transfer will in effect null his contract here. Im not saying that it won’t happen, just that if we are help him move “home” (well Italy at least) then he’s got to play ball too.

His wages free up just under 750k for this financial period. It isn’t loads but roughly frees up enough for a 1m deal over 4 seasons on 10k a week. Because the cost is split over the term of the contract the fee is 250k per season and 500k wages annually. Every little bit helps and I would guess we are a bit under FFP anyway so we could have some scope for a 1-2m fee if wages aren’t too bad. My guess anyway from how I understand things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess anyway from how I understand things Agree with that, but I don’t see where a player that is better than what we have is available for £1m on £10k p.w. Of course it might help add to an existing pot, or maybe it will fund a loan. Bloody mess isn’t it really. Thought we did character checks, DNA, etc. Sounds like Nagy wanted to leave last summer….makes it even worse. And yet people don’t feel Pearson has been dealt a crap hand.

Kodjias Wrist Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 If he's on reportedly between 12-15k and we were to offload Wells at his reported 25k then thats a huge amount to play with even if we didn't use half of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's unfair Dave, Covid has definitely had a huge effect in unsettling Nagy in particular, if he was closer to his family over the last 18 months this probably wouldn't have been a problem. I also think the sign of James and King means that NP already knew he was looking to go, the announcement was just for our benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Pearson has been dealt a crap hand. He must have seen the hand he was getting when he agreed the contract- he will have known Nagy wasn't happy, he'll have known number of contracts expiring and what kind of wages the players he liked and didn't like were on. I think he knew full well what he was getting into, I think perhaps it was us fans that were kidded/kidding ourselves. As for Nagy, I'd be surprised if we let him go for free but at the same time, what's the point in keeping him around to 4th or 5th choice CM when he's unhappy? I've always thought there was a great player there if he'd been used correctly. C'est la vie (or whatever they say in Hungary) I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but Its the life of a footballer I’m afraid, he intimated in an interview pre-Covid (in season one here) he found it difficult to settle. In fairness I believe he did say he was gonna try and move his partner over that first summer, but Covid hit, but that slightly contradicts that he might’ve also tried to leave that summer too. Of course the other side is - how did club help him settle? Now have Matt Parsons as player liaison, how has that worked? ”Its a mess” is really my reaction to a player we bought for £2.25m on a 3 year contract with 40 Hungary caps looking like he’s leaving us 2 years in after a successful Euros on a free transfer, with us just avoiding the cost of 10 months wages as all we have to show for it. Better than nothing, but doesn’t help that much in the master plan of trying to bring a striker in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew what he was getting into, as you say, and thank god he took on the challenge. He’s building us from a low point, and the reality is harsh. Then again, without Covid, i foresaw this financial mess happening 2/3 years back, Covid just accelerated it. Some fans cannot comprehend why SL isn’t just funding a new striker.

Well I'm sorry, I normally like you posts and agree with a lot that you say, but you are in danger of starting to talk about players in the same way as some others on here, i.e. like they are in a box that arrives from Amazon. There is a lot more to it than that. I know Matt Parson's definitely does his bit around players, as I have first hand knowledge of the sort ofbthings he does here in Portishead. The thing surprises me most is how little help they seem to get from their agents when it comes to settling in an area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
