More like two shillings and sixpence upfront - with an earn-out of 'up to £10m' based on things like 'if the dark side of the moon flips round to face us at any time in the next five years'.No way Sunderland paid that surely?

Wrong thread for this conversation. Take it to here pleaseNo way Sunderland paid that surely?
Surely that goes for all our purchases. I thought his fee had to be accounted for last season even though he started off on loan.I'd imagine the deal would be spread over several payments so we wouldn't pay the fee all up front on him.
The 150 mill was to add on to what was already in the transfer kitty, which you omitted. I believe we are actually better off than you wroteWhats our current outlay looking like?
Peresic - £0
Forster - £0
Bissouma - £25 - £35
Lenglet - £4m Loan Fee
Richarlson £50-£60
Spence - £12-£20
So current liability of Circa £90m
And we had funds of £150M (+ potentially any sales)
No doubt just cause we have it, doesn't mean need to spend it. But appear to be recruiting well, whilst leaving some cash in the bank if we need it
Well that's the case for many deals. When people say we have spent x this window doesn't mean all of x is paid in one go.I'd imagine the deal would be spread over several payments so we wouldn't pay the fee all up front on him.
Worth pointing out there are a lot of clubs looking to clear the decks and recoup some transfer funds. It'll definitely be a buyers market in the final month of the window if you are willing to take a punt on players fallen out of favour for whatever reason. I expect it to be mostly loans just to get them out the door tbh.I like DK's reference to FP "clearing the decks" in the Ticker. It's due.
Hopefully we can get money for Reggie and Lo Celso.Worth pointing out there are a lot of clubs looking to clear the decks and recoup some transfer funds.

And Winks. I think Tanguy is the most likely to be shipped out on loan.Hopefully we can get money for Reggie and Lo Celso.
What about Romero, are we buying him this summer or what?
It was a loan with obligation to buy this season (no option) IIRC there was a chunk up front in form of loan fee as a way of Atalanta bypassing whoever they owed money for him, plus we couldn't buy him last season as he was still on loan or something like that.I hope so

This is one to keep an eye on as the window progresses.
We like him, he likes us and would like to join but it's not an easy deal to do.
He's their best player IMO, only has 2 years left on his contract and they're in desperate need of money. He is likely to fetch more then Tielemans so from a financial perspective, it makes the most sense to sell him. Rodgers doesn't want to lose him but their current situation means his opinion is basically void. Now that all sounds positive but they're currently very reluctant to sit down with us and I imagine they're trying their best to sell Tielemans first. However, they need to get a move on and if nothing looks like materialising with that, then they may have no option but to sit down and negotiate with us.
I must add that we have options for the creative mid, there are a few players we are looking at and I think most on here would be very happy with bringing any of them in.
The obvious pros for Maddison are being homegrown whilst also being proven in the league.
As mentioned, this is one to keep a close eye on. Leicester are slowly being forced into a corner and whilst we have the money available, we will definitely take advantage of teams who are struggling.
