Whitechapel
Famous Last Words
The headline figure for a player is ALWAYS the transfer fees, sometimes including add ons based on appearances, sometimes not. No one ever says "Brighton have signed Carlos Kickaball from FC Flying Donkey for a transfer fee of £15 million basic, an agent's fee of an additional 10%, wages of £50K a week plus appearance, win and goal bonuses and a complex tax arrangement, plus an apartment and a car". They start at the £15 million fee. I really don't see why people are finding it hard to see what [MENTION=29779]Whitechapel[/MENTION] meant unless they're being deliberately obtuse or can't add up
Thank you! It’s also staggering that me saying they’d cost at least £35,000,000 between them; which is a pretty conservative estimate, apparently means I think they’d cost 35m(ish). Maupay has already been linked with a move away for 20m. Add on the Bloom Tax Brentford’s chairman would add and it could be a lot more. Bowen might be sold for 15m, but with Spurs & Everton interested there could end up being a massive bidding war.
If somebody tells you something is at least £20, you’d be pretty dense to turn up with £20 and not expect to be short of cash.
