£150k ? Utter toss

[Easy 10]

OK, I wasn't expecting MEGABUCKS for CKR, being as he was, by and large, utter shite last season. But being as he was part of a £250k deal from Bury only a year ago, and he's gone to a club that is now wallowing in the MILLIONS that befalls a club when they jump on the Premiership gravy-train, I think we had a right to expect a bit more than a poxy £150k to secure the services of a promising (but raw) lower league striker.

Would £300-£350k have been totally unrealistic ? Or were we just itching to get rid ? Utterly pathetic fee.

Leon Knight all over again.f***ing utter stupid price

CKR was, for me, at his best against Millwall and Ipswich, two MASSIVE games. CKR on form - the Albion win.....

(there is no denying the fact that he did sweet f.a against Sheffield Wednesday though).

At the end of the day, strikers are judged on goals scored, which presumably is the reason for the low fee.

BUT, i firmly expect him to go onto much better things - 150k for a man of that talent is a bargain

 

[Caveman]

He's gone. Get over it.

 

[y2dave]

Should have structured a deal to reward any success or progress. 150K is realistic if there are add ons.

is it? I think the price is fair enough based on his experience.

 

[hitony]

If the guy dont wanna play for the club...you cant make him !!

Based on experience

So tell how much experience Theo Walcot had at 17? Yet he was sold for 12 million.

 

[Albaman]

Fee looks fair to me given the player was on strike !!!

If he was playing and then we could have commanded a better fee

 

[king Wombat]

it is ridiculously cheap for a player that is widely regarded as having alot of potential.

not even worth answering!

 

[Superseagull]

A sell on clause is always a good idea when you sell a player with so much potential talent and such a young age. I hope the deal includes one

Exactly.Now run along now

No he wasn't - £55k plus £30k approx add-ons.

I agree though that we have undervalued him. The shits that surround him won, but it's important to make clear we didn't lose money on him, we just didn't realise the true value of our investment, which is a shame.

The argument was that if he'd have f***ed us around until the Jan window, which might not have been beyond the creep given that he has being doing it to us since the day pre-season opened, then his value might have lowered further from £150k.

I'm unconvinced, but that's the parameters of the argument.

Because your not clever enough to work out what i'm getting at

Go on hop it

£55030?

Bargain

 

[bhanutz]

dont have to be clever to work you out!

So go on then, if you were in charge of a football club, how much would you pay for a reasonably untested player who has an obvious attitude problem?

In my books he was worth at least 250k with a sell on of 20%

 

[Lawro's Lip]

Not 750k then? What a surprise!
