Realistically, who is going to go out and buy him?
He earns a fortune and averages about twelve games a year.

Another player on unearned ridiculous wages that we'll struggle to sell. We'll no doubt have to loan him out first.
Fulham aren't coughing up his wages, not in full and it's an option to buy, not obligation which means we'll be in the same position with him in 12 months time.
Yep.. cover wages and a small loan fee and its all good..
If he plays, he will only attract buyers next summer..

Maybe Tony Khan wants him for AEW?
Exactly
seems unlikely
Yeah it's a pattern with our players sadly
I know. Had a small hope of a Spanish club remembering him perhaps, but more hope than belief.
Anyway, as others have said - Ill take wages covered and a small fee.
and?
It's not ideal, but it's better than keeping a potentially unhappy player in the squad. That might erode team morale over the course of the season.
He seems like a decent punt for some teams. He's decent when he actually manages to play. I'm guessing he's on insane wages and that's making it hard to move him on?

Make that option an obligation and you got a deal…..
Why on Earth would he go to Fulham in fairness.
Comfier treatment room?
Haven't they got a cool Michael Jackson statue?
Right he can do better, good enough to go back to Villarreal or an EPL side like Wolves, Brighton, West Ham.
Clubs aren't exactly falling over themselves to take him off us.
Great news if it happens. Happy for outgoings as much as incomings!
Come on Fulham do it
Has to be sale or obligation. See Henderson deal, options are useless.
We won't be strong armed anymore.

Get him fit and you've got a good ,though erratic, centre back.
As a ring post?
I’ll kinda miss the crazy bastard to be honest, he was hilarious at times
Outright sale or obligation to buy.
He's better than both Maguire & Lindelöf but his injury record is an issue. It's a shame that both of our two best CBs (also Jones) are perma crocks otherwise they'd form a very good CB partnership.
Ah yes - the Bailly is a great CB myth. Until he plays a few games then everyone remembers he isn’t. Then he doesn’t play for a few months again and the great CB myth is reborn. Until he plays a few games. Rinse. Repeat. The Bailly cycle.
Bailly mate we know this is you and it’s not funny or cute.
Obligation to buy unless outbid by a certain date would be even better. And an additional right of refusal premium to cover that situation.
That way you can set a price that seems reasonable now, but when he shows his inner Koulibaly we can get more.
Also options for Man Utd to cancel the obligation, repurchase clauses, sell on clauses and 10 options to purchase any u21 prospects for no more than £10m.
And an entire ban on transfers from Fulham to any big 6 rival without us having the option to take said player for a 50% discount.
That's how you structure deals......
Feck it. Give them a bogo deal with Perreira.
Actually. He tends to come back and play a few absolute blinders.
His shit form kicks in when he remains injury free for 6 or more games.
Pereira and Baily for 17-20m and I’ll be extremely happy. Take them both please

Surely that should be a 25-30m deal.
We'll be lucky to get £10 million for each

Well that escalated quickly!
He plays 1 blinder every 4 games. He’s the most erratic CB I’ve ever seen and even in his blinders he’ll do something batshit crazy. CBs are not supposed to be entertaining! Any talk about him being better than Maguire or Lindelof is ridiculous.
Well Pereira has been quoted at around £12m, which i agree should be a sell, sell, sell.
Bailly should surely be £13-18m assuming he passes a medical. Frankly that is pretty cheap for someone who has at least showed some promise.
He wants to play, I hear London is a nice city. At the end of the loan he can still go to another club if he has attracted better suitors.
