Michael Keane is heading to Everton for £25M, so I'll hazard a guess that Robbo's off to Burnley. Now we know they've got some coin in the bank, we should be looking for a realistic price.
If only the bookies would offer odds on that eh. I cant remember the last time we did disclose a fee when we sold someone
Yes it's a pity he's going. But he's going at the right time. Let's hope we get a decent amount for him - although I'll not hold mi breathe on that one. Only negative - is that this is going to make Heckys task of getting a team working together even more difficult now. Chances of Barnsley being relegated have increased.
I heard that the buying club doesn't want other clubs knowing how much they've spent, but I also heard the selling club don't want others knowing how much they've received. I expect both are true!
Whilst I used to hold that same thought, as has been mentioned on here before it's only the fans that are kept in the dark. Million and one ways this info is out in the football circles, all it does is cause endless "in the know" posts. Sell on clauses for stones (and indeed the fee). Now sell on for mawson. It's going to be an ongoing thing. But I still fail to see what the ongoing purpose is. Buy low develop sell high. Yes. I get that. I even bought into it. But I'm not sure what the point is if we don't ever plan to use those proceeds. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
All true. I don't suppose anything stays secret within the game. Maybe clubs don't want supporters to know how much money they have or waste!
