ANNOUNCE PATRICK ROBERTS

He's no that good anyway

will be announced talks are ongoing
At least he has been left out the Mac City squad for the first game

 

If it's a 100% sell on fee we could just refuse to sell him and let him see out his contract. Then sign him on a free a month later if he wanted to stay

 

I don't think a 100% sell on fee would be possible would it? That means a team pays all the money to City for our player. City would be better just loaning him to us till they sell him for about 20-30 million.

 

We could just sell him to Buckie Thistle for £1, then offer them £50,000 to buy him back a day later.

 

FFS get it done now and give us all a good weekend.

 

I'm pretty sure this "100%" figure is 100% of any profit from the sale.

E.g. buy for £6M, sell for £8M, profit is £2M, City get £2M (100% of the profit).

It won't be 100% of the profit as they could theoretically make more by making it a reduced percentage of the total sale (e.g. 25% of the sale above would give them the same £2M) but I'm guessing they'd want a deal where they're at least guaranteed to make the money they spent on him (£12M albeit not up front) if not a profit on this of some sort.

 

100% sell on fee makes absolutely no sense for Man City because in that scenario, Celtic would never sell him, or sell him for well below his valuation.

100% of any profit makes more sense, but it still does not optimise the potential return for city. If Celtic pay £8m for Roberts with a 100% of profit clause, Celtic will sell Roberts (presuming they want to sell him/the player wants to leave) for the first bid that is at least £8m. The buying club will know about the 100% profit clause and only offer £8m. Therefore, City receive nothing.

Therefore, the best thing City can do to optimise their return is agree a % sell on fee that is probably somewhere between 25-50%. In that scenario, if Celtic sell Roberts in 2-3 years time for £20m (which is quite a likely value), city would receive between £5-10m and Celtic would be happy to sell as they'd still receive £10-15m. If it was a 75% sell on fee, Celtic would never sell as they'd only recieve £5m, so Roberts would run out his contract and City would receive nothing.


That's why the 100% sell on fee is nonsense, even if it's just on the profit. Man City would recieve much more money with a 25-50% sell on fee.

 

You'll need to give me a he'll of a lot more likes than that if u ever want me to forgive u for the bojan debacle!

 

Do you wince every time you hear his name?

Spoiler

BOJAN

PS i liked that there cause it made me laugh, stick yer forgiveness

 

It isn't, that's why that surely wouldn't even be a deal to be made for either party?


Is also why the huns logic of company over club can't work.
Club must own players registration according to uefa. So a company above the club can't work - unless they want to admit to uefa 3rd party ownership or admit to the rest of us that it's one and the same.
