If we sold Soldado, Paulinho and Chiriches, how much money do you think we'd get back?

[TwanYid]

These three players cost us:

Soldado = 26.5 million Pounds

Paulinho = 17 million Pounds

Chiriches = 9.5 million Pounds

Total: 53 million Pounds spent

Now, if we offered each of them to the highest bidders in the August/2015 transfer window, how much would we recoup? Obviously no one has a crystal ball- so for the sake of argument let's assume the positive: let's say that each one of them turned in marginally ok performances over the course of the season: Soldado scored 10-15 goals in all comps, Paulinho 8-10, and Vlad became a non-liability at CB. In that case, out of curiosity- what do you suppose the final figure would be?

Does this really need its own thread?

 

[SteveH]

Work on 50%

 

[Blake Griffin]

30m.

Why would you sell Chiriches?

He has so much potential.

 

[mpickard2087]

Chiriches you could probably around about make your money back.

Paulinho probably has a big enough name/reputation to command £10m or so from somewhere.

Soldado, well who knows. He'll be 30 at the end of the season, cost £20m+ just a year ago and must be on wages around £100k a week. I presume it will be off back to Spain but who could afford him? I reckon we would have to massively knock down the fee so clubs could put together a financial package for the player.

I'm wondering what the projected loss will be on these three horrendous buys. It's as if we purchased three David Bentleys in one window- and that player was a total write-off. Since everything these days is about money, I would like to know what the actual numerical damage could amount to. A player being shit is one thing; a player being expensive and shit quite another.

 

[Geyzer Soze]

£6.50

 

[Chris Flynn]

£35m currently

 

[bat-chain]

Didn't we only pay about 15m for Soldado in the end?

Still a bit much but not as bad.

 

[Jimbo78]

Would say 30m as there are always mugs out there.

Bit like us!

Well probably end up giving him away on a free after he winds down his contract because no one will match his wages. All we can really do at the moment is pray he comes good.

We should flog Townsend, stock is high and we should cash in.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

I actually love Soldado and really hope he makes it with us... but this did make me laugh...

[absolute bobbins]

Soldado was actually not bought to make a profit, was even stated by ITK at the time (think it was JJ)
