£2.75 million, with further payment if we stay up. Very happy with that

Interestingly the Peterborough Telegraph, and 247 magazine, are reporting the fee for Gayle as £6m.
247 is owned by the Peterborough chairman.

Quite possibly the most pointless clause ever written.

It's £6m over the life of the contract, if we stay up (which includes his wages).

So £2.75m then.

They won't get all of it though because there is a PL survival clause being written into the contract along with other add ons.
Does this mean Gayle has to be twice as good as CMS

If we stay in the Prem for the next four years I'll be well happy with £6m
The £5m odd you'll have paid for CMS in the Championship won't ever look like a good investment though

Riiiight. So that's why they are reporting it as their record fee, "eclipsing the £3.2m paid by Norwich for Ryan Bennett" then. Because £2.75m is MORE than £3.2m?
Gotcha.

5 Million?
2.5 rising to 3 on goals to be accurate, so 2.5 million TOTAL.

Sorry, I forgot that CMS is playing for free!
Our fee for Gayle is £2.75m, and add ons depending on our staying up, so you'll see it reported as £3m in most papers. But it could be a £6m deal including wages.
You paid £2.5m rising to £3m, and you can deduct the money CMS is paying you fr the honour of playing for Brighton from that.

I was just describing the deal, I don't believe we'll stay up this year let alone four.
When is a deal for a player quoted including the total wages for that contract?
No. When the Peterborough end report a 'fee up to £6m', they are talking about the money Palace will (potentially) pay TO them. This does NOT include wages, as you see, those would be paid to the PLAYER, rather than to his former club. I realise this is complicated stuff, but stay with us.
Shall we do what every Palace fan does with Wilf (£15m, despite it actually being £10m, and according to some sources ACTUALLY being about £7m upfront), and refer to it always as £6m and not a penny less?

It isn't normally, so I doubt you'll see that figure in the mainstream press. Weird way to talk about a deal, to include the total package?
Just heard its a five year contract too. Had thought it was only four before.
Still worry we might get gazumped

Not at that price you won't, it's like seeing a house on the market for £200,000 and offering £500,000.

All about opinions, but I'm chuffed. £2.75m is a good price for an exciting nippy striker who scored some crackers last year. He had a decent length contract with Posh but he definitely improves us, and is the kind of player who (if we do go down as is likely) will help us mount a serious challenge to come straight back up.
Exactly the kind of signing I want us to be making.
