grifty Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 I work with someone who is married to someone who knows someone who used to be married to an ex-Bristol City striker. Their son has recently signed a pro-contract with a Championship club (not us), has just turned 18 and made his debut in the FA cup and is on £14k per week. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad blit Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Just to say IF a club did come in for him late, then it would be a panic buy and we could get top dollar. Not that I want him to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I believe could be a record. That's the market we are selling to. It ended up being around 800 million. With around 300 million from Chelsea. So if we are to sell him in the summer we can name our price realistically. Edited February 1, 2023 by W-S-M Seagull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souttar at £15m and Semenyo at £10m or so springs to mind...some warrant selling too ie Berge, Ndiaye at Sheffield United, reportedly Ince and even Joao at Reading were linked, Bentley and his fee, it was reported as nominal.

Miguel Delaney also mentioned a bit but not a breakdown dreal by deal- said abour £25m or so in up front fees- interesting to know if the £800m was just up front or add-ons, I'd the latter about 3 pct or so of PL expenditure went on Championship players.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) To a bit of context- genuinely interesting times, also some of the bigger deals but not all have been lost Covid on defenders from this level. Pope, Collins x 2 and Souttar spring to mind. Otoh Lewis-Potter, Armstrong, Semenyo although not as much as the defenders we think. Wasn't Dennis £20m though? Ramsdale in summer 2021. Had a quick look too, PL clubs spent maybe 15 pct of expenditure in Jan 2020 on Championship players, this January it was around 3-3.5 pct. As per reported fees of course. Extrapolated we would have seen £120m on Jan 2023 signings from PL clubs. Edited February 1, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any I've missed? Not so much. However the point I was making was that the market we are selling to is flushed with money. Just because we are a Championship club doesn't mean prem clubs can get our players on the cheap. Changing subject slightly but surely clubs signing all these foreign signings is unsustainable? I think if this carries on then the home grown rule needs to be increased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing subject slightly but surely clubs signing all these foreign signings is unsustainable? I think if this carries on then the home grown rule needs to be increased. PL clubs are spending less on Championship players than they once did, blip or trend who knows? Then again it's a 25 fold increase on January 2022 (Plange for £1m maybe the only one IIRC). It's an interesting one to watch, percentage terms are probably the best way and if Scott is as reckoned valued at £25m then that would give or take equal the entire PL spend on players at this level this window. Wonder if the profile of player they're spending big money on at our level is also shifting- Souttar at £15m vs Semenyo at a reported £10m, yet conventional wisdom talks of strikers being worth more- again blip or trend? Here is a counter view in fact, not hard to find on Twitter but argument that clubs are pricing players out of moves.

Only until the transfer window opens in the summer. He is being touted by big clubs and quite frankly someone will pay 20 million plus. Hate to say it but for that money he has to go.

Incidentally, I think I have asked this before, but do we know if Guernsey can expect a nice windfall too? I’ve no idea, but think I’ve replied before saying the likelihood is that with Guernsey falling outside of the EPPP structure, that we bunged them a few quid when we signed him and that’ll be that. We paid a nominal fee for Ewan Clark from Oxford City in the summer. An act of goodwill I’m guessing, plus might’ve been on a contract there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
