Baxfee Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Go to any team bar Man City for 2 million. Tic get their bit, then we get 30% sell on fee when one of the biggies (Man City or Utd; Spurs; etc) come in for him for £20m a few years down the line 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spellczech Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 The economics of football is so depressing... Partly because of that no-mark Bosman and partly due to the weak state of our league, even an exceptional talent can slip away for beans after just a few months. We sold players for better money in the late 90s than we do now, yet our finances were a mess then. Real Madrid have just released a player they signed from Man City - who never even played for them - for £22m during the summer! City can then go and buy a whole team of Aaron Hickey's with that money - it's insane. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7600885/Real-Madrid-sell-Brahim-Diaz-YEAR-signing-Manchester-City-22m.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naisysback Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 On 22/10/2019 at 13:24, SuperstarSteve said: I’m where your at. £3million and chuck Celtic their £1million. 18 month loan back and 20% sell on fee. Thats us earned roughly the same money as we got for osman and kyle in the one transfer. Albeit with hickey’s potential it really could/should be more if not for his contract situation. Majority of us atleast accept its more than likely he is gone and it won’t be for big big money (unless contract situation changes) Problem is he is out of contract in the Summer and if he decides to move then it will be a development fee, which if he goes cross border will be very small. Even if he stays in Scotland the fed is set by the SFA and will be very small. Forget the millions unless he signs a new deal which is looking less likely from what I have heard. Glasgow boy, maybe fancies going back West! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section Q Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Article below linking Hickey with Norwich quotes Robbo and attributes his words to John Robertson who played for Notts Forest.

In other words, for me anyway, made up shite to keep fans happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Hate to be a pessimist but it seems clearer by the day that his dad hasn't the slightest intention of extending the contract. Very much hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WheatfieldWarrior Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 1 minute ago, graygo said: Quite, so not 18 in January as they reported. It's June I think. To count as an EPL 'Home Grown' player I think he needs to spend 3 years at an English club before his 21st birthday, so would need to move in the Jan window to meet those requirements. Players that meet that criteria go for a lot more in terms of transfer fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
