Bristol City bid SIX MILLION POUNDS for Palace strker

[SDG]

Have you accounted for 3 years' wages at £25k per week, to sit on the bench, in those calculations?

£4.5m - rising to £6m with installments. Then a few bonuses which may or may not have been met (no international appearances)

Top Scorer 2 years in a row, and probably unlucky to be born in the era of 1 up front.

Worth it though.

 

[SDG]

I'd imagine Peterbrough have a good sell on clause.

Profit-based like all modern day sell-on clauses. So, very little.

To save the Croydon goons from contributing, let's just summarise their inevitable views in one neat post (spelling/grammar intentional):


-hes one of the best strikers in the Premiership and were only selling because we have so many amazing strikers now we dont need him in are quest for Europe

-hes only young with massive potential

-you could of only dreamed of having him

-but we won't sell to you anyway

-he will smash up the championship this season

-he was a big success at selhurst park and not in any way a waste of money

-we don't care about money anyway now lalala

-Wilf play offs Wembley yadda yadda yadda



Does that about cover it?

You haven't mentioned how 'jealous' we are of them

Did you just change the video, was wondering what Swindon v Liverpool had to do with anything.

 

[The Wizard]

Football has officially gone nuts. Promoted from League one and spending 8M(6M + add ons) on a player. Staggering.

Youtube auto-play is fiendish...

 

[Carshaltonloyal]

Fee will reach 10 mill with add ons. Just on radio....cracking business

 

[sir albion]

It might seem a lot,but ulloa went for 8 million and he was 28 ish.
He will certainly score a fair few and more importantly he's an asset to the club as they'll recoup plenty back if they sell him.

Very good signing if it happens and most clubs are realising now that the ffp is a load of trash that will crumble in time

Ulloa was 27 when he signed for Leicester. Gayle is 26 next month.

It might seem a lot,but ulloa went for 8 million and he was 28 ish.

Ulloa went to a Premier League team with Premier League money.

Gayle's going to a lower Championship club with FFP and a current record transfer of £2.5m.

 

[warmleyseagull]

One of the richest men in Britain, Steve Lansdowne. Find it hard to believe he's been genuinely surprised by the market rate for any player at this level.

This has all the signs of shit or bust for City.

I worked with SL back in the 80s before he made his zillions with HL. Bit like TB ( I suspect) it is a matter of principle; he doesn't like to think he has been legged over.

How can the teds afford that?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Gayle has turned down Bristol City.

Oh well, much better for him to be taking palace wages playing in the reserves. Can't see too many other PL clubs coming in for him.

A similar way to how the Albion can afford 'things': http://www.forbes.com/profile/stephen-lansdown/

yeah nearly 28 as ulloa is 29 now...still 3+ years between them

You forgot a few

He'd only want to sign for a chairman with ambition
He only wants clubs who might make the premier league one day
He doesn't want to play for small clubs

That's about it Edna

If I was a Bristol City fan I'd be thinking I'd dodged a bullet there. For that money they could do so much better.

Yes it is very sad to have a chairman with no ambition, as he has only spend £200 million, which I understand is about 10 times what your fab 4 have invested, who want to sell the club at every opportunity. Think before you make silly comments.

Steve Cotterill says bid accepted.
