Burndens Bogs Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Sheff Utd just paid £23.5m for Liverpools Rhian Brewster. I don't think he's ever played a Premier League game. The worlds gone mad....barking mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted October 3, 2020 Members Share Posted October 3, 2020 Highly rated at LFC but he’s not getting in that team. Depends how many years he had left and the market value. Prices are highly inflated at this stage of the window as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWFC_LOVE Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 They spent £19m on McBurnie with barely any PL games under his belt (let’s not mention Ramsdale given that we released him either), and Liverpool somehow manage to sell for top dollar all the time. Solanke £19m, Ibe £16m, Jerome Sinclair £4m. Pisses me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deane koontz Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 A prospect and did alreet at Swansea last season but skiprats seem to know what they're doing when selling. They do have a buyback clause on this one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool say on last day of transfer window, there's your £23mil, thanks for paying him and giving him games for a few months, we'll use him now. Sheff U have no time to get a replacement. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but in what world do you sell something and then just say you want it back? And presumably the player gets no say in this, even though his kids might be in school in Sheffield by then, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Egg Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Wouldn't a buy back clause be more of a first refusal type of thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool can't just call him back at any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea, Man U and Barcelona are offering double the wages Liverpool are offering but he has to go back there. I'm probably miles wide of the mark, I just don't like all these clauses put in deals, like the sell on's. Either sell 'em or keep 'em, and the buying club has to pay what they both think they are worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Ben Godfrey going to Norwich for £25mil, puts the Brewster fee into perspective if we're talking about a defender that's not won games in the Prem or kept clean sheets. York receive £2.5mil as part of their sell on. If Norwich had stopped up and so didnt need to sell, York dont receive a penny. No doubt other players at Villa or Brighton that did stop wont have moved on and so nobody receives a sell-on, its the luck of the draw. The original fees should be fairer for me.

Johnnyrotten Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Talking about the principle. Next week it might be a 25 year old that's sold with a buy back clause. Or it might be 4 years from now before Liverpool decide they want him back after he's scored 80 Prem goals for Sheff U. Just making the point that the player doesnt appear to have a say in it, just seems an odd clause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool do not have any say when or if they sell him on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Morata was an example of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Sheff United spend loads, spent more than most in the prem last season....and still played the plucky skint card every week. Also pretty sure a chunk of that fee goes to Chelsea, as did the solanke fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this they spent 9th in terms of net spend but 13th overall because they didn't sell anyone https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1163679/Premier-League-table-net-transfer-spend-Aston-Villa-Man-Utd-Liverpool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spent more than us. But yes, they are in a different league in terms of what they can spend on wages etc. Just bothers me this card they play about not spending much....and us being "big spending". WHen the actual numbers tell a very different story. Edited October 7, 2020 by Pablo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
