Diego Llorente

Club must have been trying to control the narrative then with the "leaks" of rejecting a £5.1mil bid.

Because

They've seemingly accepted half that.

Strange. Wonder what that was about. Are there fee escalators that could drive the fee higher than the one that was initially rejected?

5 of last years 1st team squad gone so far.. Aaronson the only player added so far

We have 13 players used as regular or fairly regular first teamers last season left... 3 GK included

Rasmus/Wober/Aaronson of the loans out last season still at ER as it stands

Kamara/Summerville/Firpo/Meslier subject of rumours out

No substantial signs of players in yet

Just under 5 weeks to go

Sadly once you want rid the fee almost becomes irrelevant.


At least he won't be getting paid PL wages

Sounding more and more like a 'get shut at any cost' saga.

And that DF is trying to conjure up some talk.

Poker bluffs here and there, we'll get called, have nowt, and just try and get some chips back any way we can.

For what it's worth the YEP say this isn't true.

At the minute it's the YEP vs 2 highly reliable foreign journalists.

One of whom is the La Liga expert

So taking what we paid on transfer fee less what we recovered on transfer fee, he only cost £260k per game ….. plus his wages on top.

No wonder we have no money.

So by that math Archie earned us just under 1M per game?

The economics of it are insane.

The parallels with the venture capital industry our owners are in are ironic.

Think the model is Two big winners out of every 10 VC investments gives them big positive returns overall

[Pullhard]

Wonder if the bean counters at clubs have a metric on cost per player per game incl transfer fee and wages.
There must be a working assumption of the target rate over a contract term.
