But it still doesn't mean the value of the player is increased. We bought at a reduced fee but the downside was the sell on clause.
The market place decides the value of the player, not the deal we signed with Chelsea. If the market place decides he's worth £50m then the fact that we have a sell on clause doesn't change that. I agree it might change our inclination to sell though.
For example, we buy TL at £3m plus 25% sell on fee.
Chelsea might have said we can have that deal or we buy him outright for £15m
Assume he sells for £50m, on the first deal, we get £50m less £12.5m sell on clause and less £3m purchase fee = £34.5m.
On the second basis, we get £50m less £15m purchase fee = £35m!
Now in both cases his market value is the same. Obviously I'm guessing at the sell on clauses or what Chelsea might have accepted to buy him outright but I trust you get the gist.
in a nutshell, yet another sicknote to add to the bucketload of others in our squad.With Izquierdo, TL's auditioning for a new series.in a nutshell of:
It’s a massive concern that he’s suffering these issues so early in his career as I can think of a lot of pacey players who never really recovered from persistent hamstring injuries.
This believe that he is injury prone, is it kosher?
He has had one injury since he joined us, a hamstring problem, that he got against Fulham on 16/12/20. He has been out since then, just over 10 weeks. That's not too long for a hammy, in a young player. He had no other injuries up until this one, and had played a part in 11 other games this season. He may become prone to hamstring problem s in the future, due to his explosive pacebut, it's too early to think he will definitely be out more than he is available.

Well based on the news today of his latest 'setback', sadly I'm not really expecting to see him play any significant part in the remainder of this season. Hope I'm wrong but I just get a sense that this is how it will be. When squads, potential formations and playing styles are discussed on here and people talk about how we will be strengthened by the return of Lamptey (which we absolutely would be), I've never been able to shrug off a nagging doubt that he's likely to be injured more often than not.
Good luck to the guy.

Just to counteract the relentless pessimism from most on here I give you Ryan Giggs, bucket loads of hammys when he was young, played until he was as old as Methuselah.
I read recently that Giggs believes it was taking up yoga that eventually helped him to overcome susceptibility to hamstring injuries and kept him playing at the top level for as long as he did.
The club giving him a special conditioning program and warm up routine for the next couple of years until he's fully developed physically.
Arsenal fans need to wake up to the fact they're no longer an attractive option for the elite players. And the fact that they have no money and can't compete with the top clubs anymore either.
