Prob around the 20 mill mark for benteke. He handed in a transfer request so gave up a few mill in loyalty bonuses (on villatalk they claim its between 3-4.5 mill), and that plus our 20 would make it almost 25.

Wouldnt suprise me if someone told him/his agent that we can only afford him if he give up his bonuses so villa can accept a lower bid and still making the same profit.

There you have it Sir! That is part of the structure of how we get to the 25m plus the add ons, hurdles, a baloon payment at the end of his contract that is dependant on meeting performance targets over the contract etc etc. Wonderful things contracts. Sometimes what is mooted as a 25m deal may cost the buying club 15m if performance requirements are not met. Its all in the negotiation structure and we all know how adept DL is at that. Remember that medicals can alter payment structures significantly as well. They are like insurance policies. If you take some one on with an existing condition then that reduces the cost as well.

Normally you are right however in certain instances he will jump in. When we pursued Hazard was 1 occasion.
Wish he would do it more.

Ps BC you are a **** too xxx
To be honest, I wish he would do it for the stadium more than players. Doesn't the Joe Lewis Stand have a nice ring to it?

Cheers JJ.

I really think it makes sense to invest heavily in the team now, before FFP kicks in. If we need to generate our own funds in a couple of years it will be worth investing in young players that are expected to increase in value.

It's a cryptic!!

'BC you are a **** too xxx'

Xxx = 3x's = 3 players
**** = country who has 4 stars on their badge = Italy
BC = before Christ = religious city/club = Roma

= we're signing 3 players from Roma




Ps. I'm drunk and joking (this is not a cryptic ;))

So Hazard really came down to CL football ? Do you know of any other transfers that JL has actually underwritten or contributed to, there was never any mention of his financial input/loans in the PLC accounts as long as I remember ?

The date for submitting your financials for ffp was today. It will take till december to go through.
You may see some teams spending money from tomorrow as it is considered a fresh year.

I hate hearing about these deals we nearly did. Like the Cavani and Kjaer deal ect! Makes me sad but at the same time its good we try for these top players!
