Veltman is out of contract at the end of this season. Gives us extra cover at RB. Will we extend his contract?

We ought to. He can't be one of the biggest earners and has been a great signing thus far

 

[stewart_weir]

With the income we are receiving from transfers I fully expect anyone we want to buy to have an additional premium added by all selling clubs.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Why are we wasting time and money on this guy?

Everyone knows we need a striker. Is Chris Wood still available?

Where is b. W. 2 when you need him
LOL

Cheeky offer to Leeds for Patrick Bamford?

Veltman may well decide what he wants to do for his next contract.
Rather like he did when he moved to us.

Seems a lot to pay for a 26-year-old.

Similar age and fee as we paid for Webster, no?

 

[SweatyMexican]

The good thing about centre halfs is age isn't as much of a problem.

Maybe his selling value decreases, but he'll be good til he's 34/35. 26 is fine.

 

[nwgull]

My first thought, though I’d have gone for the “bunch of wankers” clip

I though that that was 5 Star?

 

[macbeth]

saw someone post this on twitter and agree completely, this signing gives us the possibility to play two sorts of systems, lamptey and pervis starting together leaves us a little too open and signing matviyenko means either pervis can be rested and we can have lamptey getting at the opposition from the right or do what we currently do and start pervis and bring lamptey on later. it's all about options, options, options

 

[Oh_aye]

first thing I thought of.

We have a year extension option on Joel’s contract.

50k a week according to the wages thread! Puts him pretty high up our wages list if we can believe it....

Webster was 24. This fella is 27 in May.

 

[Clive Walker]

Webster was 24. This fella is 27 in May.

So a year younger that Webster. Should we have cashed in on him already or are we ok making a loss?

 

[Bold Seagull]

Value has to include salary really. If he costs £20m, but his salary demands are say £2.0m per year for a 4 year contract, your outlay is £28m. We could get another player at the end of a contract, so maybe only £12m to buy them, but their salary demands are £4m per year over 4 years, total outlay is still £28m. So the transfer fee is only really relevant along side the contract value .

 

[Swansman]

Not been all that impressed when I've seen him play for Ukraine but £25m isn't that much considering 25+ CL games and that he belongs to a wealthy club that are pretty far from desperate to sell anyone.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Is 26 the new 30?

Appreciate the resale value but don’t see that it should apply for the entire squad?

No, 50 is the new 30.
