Fabuless

[bluebell]

Fab C to Brentford for £27.5m
I wanted him to stay

 

[Donavan Ried]

What a waste...
Great little player

 

[KopRed]

He's not going to play. £27.5m is a great fee for a player who is not proven at this level.

Let's move on.

 

[Farkmaster]

He was a stupid buy that we profited on, which is the best kind of stupid buy.

 

[Le Chacal]

Not convinced with this one either to be honest.
He was one of our best players in pre-season and a likely starter next week with most internationals not physically ready yet. I had hopes he would play a decent role this year.
Loans and sales but still no one signed one week before start, very worrying.

 

[peterhague]

Hard to turn down a fee like that for what was essentially a League Cup player.

 

[The Nomad]

Hope there is a buy back clause also inserted. He could be a great player.

 

[Squiggles]

So £20m with £7.5m addons.

It's a fair profit for a transfer that has not worked out and we never had a credible plan to make it work out.

It seemingly is challenging to lose money on young players right now.

 

[Frogfish]

He's not going to play. £27.5m is a great fee for a player who is not proven at this level.

Let's move on.

We have to pay Fulham 20% though we do have 17.5% sell on.

 

[StevieM]

Shame as I think there’s a good player there, but a reasonable fee and it was always going to be a challenge for him to break into the team.

 

[moron]

Lets not complain - we know our midfield is overloaded - sometimes too many options can be a bad thing and getting rid of him is one less thing to argue about.

Except he was playing in the forward line, where I wouldn’t say were are spectacularly overstocked with players half the site wouldn’t sell the minute a suitable offer came in.

 

[rubans]

I thought someone worth hanging onto to but then yes not sure he would have played much, I assume he wants to go and start regularly and not really fair on him too.

 

[binomial]

Had a feeling he could be 1 we looked to profit on in time as we weren't playing with a 10 when we signed him, another player we've benefited off from a good loan spell. Sepp will probably follow him and so will the likes of Ramsay, Beck, Clark etc in the next year or 2.

All the best to him.

 

[Bradley]

Big time Alan Partridge 'cash back' vibe.

Good business really.

 

[Hyena]

£27.5m is half a Zubimendi.

He's a good one player, but it's a good fee

 

[Dreambeliever]

No brainer.

 

[Brizzle]

I expect him to out G/A some of our front 5 in the PL but he didn’t seem to have a natural position on the pitch which was a challenge.

Happy to see him land a PL club though.

 

[Hansern]

Slot saw him as a wide player and he saw himself playing more centrally. That and given the potential limited playing minutes makes this a good deal. He was never really a great fit for us, so to get this done is impressive work from Hughes.

Its obviously a shame as there is a great player there. He will probably do well for Brentford.

 

[Holle]

That's shit.

 

[dee]

So 20% of 13m plus potentially another 7.5m to Fulham (£2.6m + £1.5m) leaves us with £17.4m plus potential £6m
