Philosopher Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 1 hour ago, CVByrne said: I think it bodes well that Fbref have him as left footed and Transfermarkt have him as right footed. So he must be pretty good with both feet you'd hope Yep he is right footed but almost as good with his left. He will be a target to aim at (not necessarily with high balls) that has the technique to make the ball stick and link up with the willing runners around him. We could even go full battering ram mode and put Duran up top and him and Zaniolo behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being reported that it's 15 mill inclusive of add ons etc. Highly doubt the actual up front figure will be that. Man City have a sell on clause so that will be a part of why the price is a bit up imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I have a feeling 15m will turn out to be an absolute bargain. His potential is widely acknowledged so I'm surprised we're getting him that cheap (if we are). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I had a feeling it would be, £15m looked a decent offer, but a lot of that is probably add-ons, they probably want a bigger fee upfront. I don't think it will be a case of them wanting more than £15m, but them wanting more of that £15m upfront, as part of the initial fee. Which I think good chance will get resolved before the window closes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 They probably don't want more than fifteen million, that fifteen million included add-ons, for all we know we could have offered thems something like £7m, with the rest being add-ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichW Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Interesting to see if that was final bid or if they are willing to go higher. Wouldn't be surprised if the club moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Looks like we offered £7.5M upfront (then another £7.5M in add-ons). Srtandard negotiation to be honest: Couple of low ball offers no where near their valuation, then an overall offer that meets their valuation but with low uopfornt fee. Final offer will be same vale as the third one but prob around £10-£12M upfront and deal gets done. I'm still pretty confident this will happen.

useless Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Not if those add-ons aren't guaranteed, whatever they are they probably aren't going to be easy to reach, they will be things like him getting England cap, hitting a certain amount of appearances for us, and so on. Of course hopefully if he does sign he does reach such milestones, and if he does do we will be happy to pay extra because he will have been more than worth it, but from MIddlesbrough's point of view, they can't leave it to chance that he will reach those targets, so will want as much as the £15m upfront as possible. As I said they might not even be asking for something crazy, could just be that they want around £10m initially, with the rest being add-ons.
