Keep Antony cause he is on a lower salary. Get rid of big wage earners.

That says to me he that Rabiot is a backup target for midfield if we don't get one of the preferred options
Good to hear Toney mentioned again, would have worries about Calvert-Lewin due to his injury issues
The thing we aren't hearing enough is that there is a desire to sign two midfielders, still feels a bit like those options are just for one position
Christ thats some deal in the end.
Guess the best way of looking at it is we effectively have a 30% sell on clause instead of 50%.
Getafe with the deal of the century from their point of view. Making a fortune off a player that was never theirs to begin with
At this rate, Getafe will retire his shirt number and he'll go down as one of their legends!Thats a feckin piss-take.
Honestly, cannot understnad the logic behind why such a clause was put in? Surely it wasn't that hard to get him out on loan?! If it was then only promise a sell-on cluase for the next sale not all future proceeds. There must be more to it, because any simpleton in business would not see the logic in what was agreed.
What do farmers do if not produce things that they then sell on to others?
It’s 20% of anything we receive. 20% of 50% is 10%. Basically makes our clause 40%, not 30%Christ thats some deal in the end.

I think they would get 20% of our 50% which equates to 10%, leaving us with 40%.
It's 20% of 50% of profits. Won't even be that big, probably nothing at all.
A bit tin foil hat but do you think the board have asked ETH to appear to have "made up with Sancho" to put us in a better negotiating position to try and sell him? If they were still both at odds with each other our negotiating position would be very weak.
Im not going to pretend to understand that percentage breakdown, but i trust you and hope that you are right mate.
I think that is the case also, as do most people think to be honest.
Lets be real mate the relationship unrepairable at this point.
I can’t believe we ever had the likes of Woodward, Murtough, Arnold and Lawlor in charge of the biggest club in world football. Absolute incompetence.
If he sells for £1 more than Marseille paid, we get 50p and have to give Getafe 10p.
I’m sorry I didn’t present it quite as well as I should when I talked about historic Transfer debt which is what the club currently owes and has nothing to do with amortisation but instead transfers instalments owed, my bag I raced away with the post but I’m well aware that amortisation of a transfer is completely different from an instalment plan and I’m well aware each year the amortised fee is a liability of the club on the balance sheet in the same way the player is an asset, I was simply trying to explain to fans who don’t understand PSR or Squad ratio rules that it has no bearing on this summer spending amount as most fans do not understand where the money is coming from, what is more key is actual cash and money put aside to facilitate transfers.
SJR has not made more money available however the management team he employed are operating in a far more efficient manner however we still need actual cash from player sales. We could still be deducted points unless an exceptional case is made for the £70m plus loss from last years accounts, especially silly when £30m of that loss is interest charges on legacy debt and £35m on commissions paid by the Club to allow SJR to pay the Glazers over £1.25bn.

Of course it was that hard. The "more to it" was the fact he had absolutely horrendous allegations against him and had been arrested for. Also when we planned to bring him back, there was massive backlash internally and externally which meant with the 21st August statement, we decided he couldn't stay. How else do you get him out the club, without significant concessions, in such a short period of time?At this rate, Getafe will retire his shirt number and he'll go down as one of their legends!

Ok so on top of the former transfer price, got it and thanks mate for bothering to explain it.
Were it not for Getafe we would be getting feck all for Greenwood. Feck all.
After Yoro was announced I was certain we'd add at least one more before leaving on the tour. Things have got a bit more complicated now we've splashed the cash on an 18 yr old.
While I wholeheartedly agree with you, this suggests to me that we’re looking at a certain profile to complement Hojlund/Zirkzee, i.e. experienced, already played in the PL with no adjustment required, ability to lead the line, affordable, can and will accept a back-up/rotation role. Toney and DCL fit the bill. Anyway, I think this is just transfer market noise, we have other areas to strengthen first before adding yet another forward.
I think the reality is we need to sell players to buy players for two reasons;
1. Cash
2. PSR/FFP
Still having problems getting rid of deadwood, there's also a lack of desire to let go of some underperforming players.
No incentive for Sancho there. Less bargaining power for Man Utd makes a move out for him easier.
Transfer talks have gone a bit stale the last 3-4 days. We need more reinforcements if we want to get back into UCL next season, which is our primary goal, I assume. At the very least a DM and another CB.
I understand the difficult issue of moving on deadwood, hope it gets resolved. Come on Dan, do some magic.

looks like all targets still on holidays. Most energy spent getting ready for the tour to make some money come Wednesday first
Our clause with Marseille relates to any money they receive, doesn't it? So 50% of the total transfer fee, not just the profits.
Tier 2:
Wonder which new player we will get linked with today that we haven't been linked with already?
They publish this literally a day after ETH publicly stated he wants to keep McTominay.
I doubt it. Ducker said profit. Would be an odd agreement where if they sold him tomorrow for the same figure they would have to book a 50% loss.
And Antony's agent declaration that Antony does not want to leave either.
Ducker's the only one who said that. No one else said this, not even those from The Athletic.
I always get worried when we are linked to an injury-plagued player whose 2 last initials might be interpreted as Cruciate Ligament
And what should he say ? "Yeah of course he is for sale - crap player" - and the value drops by another £10 million

A simple public statement that he wants to keep the player should speak for itself.
None of the others clarified what it meant that's all.
Clearly 50% of profit makes the most sense.
