** Update: Will Buckley moves to Sunderland confirmed, three-year deal **

[Bozza]

No they don't.

The sell-on clause is 15%.

Also, sell-on clauses only relate to the profit over and above the original fee paid.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Then how did we get them in the first place?

Different manager/different paradigm.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

£2.5M for Buckley would be a great bit of business for the club IMHO. He's a shadow of the player he was when he first came here.

 

[8ace]

I reckon we'll sell but get £4m for him.

 

[Giraffe]

Sell sell sell. Only get one good game out of him a month, the rest of the time he is either inured or coming back to full fitness.

 

[Clive Walker]

£2.5m would be a savy bit of business and well over what I would expect for him. If Buckley was fit all the time I would expect us to get £5-7m for him. The fact that he is either injured or nursing a knock 99% of the time has decreaded his value. Looking at the potential future for the player and given his history of injury I would say his value for the buying club could be even less.

I would value him at £1.5-£2m, only an small increase on what we paid and fair reflection given his abitilty and injury hampered tenure.

£2.5m would a dream in 2 years time, take it while we can and move on!

It doesn't matter how 'good' the bit of business is, we do not seem to be spending the fees we are getting for the players we sell, so it is in fact just more squad weakening.

It seems we are having a fire sale

 

[Prince Monolulu]

£2.5m?.......William, William Buckley goes up the Tees for me

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

get rid.

Yep......indeed

 

[Seagull on the wing]

I have been watching the Albion for 50 years and we have never had a good winger before. And now we have two in Lualua and Will Buckley, both with a few years before their peak.

I would prefer Buckley to Borini. And £14 million was quoted for Borini.

Hey! What was wrong with Johnny 'Noddy' Goodchild......21 goals from a winger...

 

[One Love]

Surely he would never pass a medical.

End of story.

Wally Gould wasn't too shabby that season either.

 

[Marshy]

All of the high Poyet earners will go if we get a decent offer.

Only Buckley, CMS and Crofts remain, I expect all 3 will not be with us by the end of the season

 

[sir albion]

Christ I'd take 500k for buckers...Bloody pointless player in the last 2 years,must be one of the highest earners aswell

 

[bhafc99]

Take the money and run

Or, take the money and gingerly jog forwards, being careful not to pull your hamstring again.

 

[supaseagull]

£5 million no less or a swap for Danny Graham.

Didnt Slade bring Crofts?

 

[strings]

Local paper up here recons that West Brom are also tracking William Buckley (apologies if this has already been mentioned).

 

[Don Tmatter]

Didnt Slade bring Crofts?

1st time, Gus 2nd time
