2016 Summer Transfer Thread

[Blues Heaven]

Would Spurs offer us 40% if the deal was the other way round.

The maths don't work well. If we paid £100,000 and sold him for £200,000 then we would have to give Spurs £80,000. so after expenses we would hardly make anything on a player who has doubled in value.

The big boys have £8billion of sky money coming their way in the next three years and they still want to take the P***

Do Spurs still have a store in Southend......Save me taking those old bricks down the tip.

I believe the sell on clause was for the percentage of any future transfer above the figure that he was original bought for, so in fact it is different to what you have quoted. If I am wrong I stand corrected.

Also clubs often attach a sell on clause in return for a lower initial fee, which may of occurred in this instance.

Surely we shouldn't be looking at a future signing being sold even before he has signed. Rotherham have signed a very good player and I am sure we would of accepted such a clause to enable us to sign him.

Its of the fee not just the amount in excess of the original fee. This could be an exception but I doubt it..

There is no general rule. It is often the case that it is from the total fee but it varies from deal to deal. This isn't Football Manager or FIFA.

Just seen that Colchester have made George Elokobi available for loan.

He showed last season how creative he was, creating chances week after week for the Colchester opposition. Maybe he could be that attacking midfielder

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Isn't Mr Williams in disguise...similar height...short for a CB....but robust....large :unsure:

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

He'd certainly add some 'physical presence' in defence...

 

[borientater]

if he's not good enough for Colchester then he might as well give up :smile:

 

[Streaky]

Smart move from Col Ewe, im sure if someone in their league takes him he'll be allowed to play against them - guaranteed a few gifted goals.

 

[Streaky]

We are looking for a big CB, who wins lots of headers, scores goals and will battle for everything. By the way Brown recruits players it would help if he has played for us before - anyone seen Bilel Mohsni recently..... :tease::whistling:

 

[Tommy2holes]

It's OK because we hope to have 3 or 4 players in before the season starts.......oh hang on!

We did sign 7 to be fair.

Cox
Oxley
McGlashan
Demetriou
Solokik
King
Ranger

May be wrong but I think Tommy is referring to the Talksport interview Brown did where he said he hoped to sign 4, not including Sokolik and Ranger, the week before the season started. Since then we have only signed King, and he's "only an under 21 from Swansea".

Out of those. Who if any are better or of an equal quality to Payne Worrall Bentley Bolger. I'd say cox and the jury is still out on ranger, but the rest are not great.

That wasnt the point I was replying to though, it was how many have we signed (although I may have missed the point of your post as to the timing of them)

We were never going to equal the quality of two players who left for the Championship.

Cox and Demetriou are improvements to the squad Im sure.

The rest time will tell.

Jack Payne is on trial with us, Lol.

I actually thought you werent joking then for a minute. :sad:

The sun must have gone to my head.

Anyone know if the other Payne was any good at Orient? Perhaps Ron was there to watch him instead of Simpson.

He's played quite a few games for Gillingham, Peterborough and Orient. Reading were interested when he was at Gillingham. Perhaps one of the Orient posters that come on here will tell us about him.

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

He was decent when he was with Gillingham and Peterborough. Seems to have gone off the radar a little in recent times. Still only 24 though. Not a bad prospect.

I have just spoken to a friend who is a Orient supporter. Payne was signed by them at the start of last season on a season long loan deal from Peterborough. They were in negotiations with them for some time as they initially wanted to buy him but a fee couldn't be agreed and just before the close of the transfer window the loan was agreed with the option of buying him at the end of it.

Payne came with great expectations however never lived up to them. He is a defensive midfielder and rarely scores. Apparently his forward play was not very good and lacked enterprise and the second half of the season he faded out of the dude and was dropped even from the subs bench.

Not surprisingly Orient did not take up the option of buying him at the end of his loan.

I did read a comment from Barry Fry a couple of weeks ago that there had been no interest from any club in signing Payne who I am sure would be allowed to leave on a free.

Sorry not to be more inspiring but he doesn't appear to be a great potential signing.

Platers do do perform differently at different clubs though as we all know.
