    If the 35% sell on clause being quoted is correct, we'll have done pretty well out of the deal.

    Just commented on that in another post. There were still people ripping the club for signing a lad and giving him a look. Almost like people are too quick to jump on someone or the club and deem them “*****” or “waste of money”.

    We might recoup the transfer fee and wages we paid him for a year. I'd be surprised if it was 35%.

    We got him for free as he was out of contract at Wrexham. His wages would probably have been covered in the sale to Accrington, and we stand to make a few hundred grand on him.

    That’s great business by the club.

    I wouldn't, as wasn't the fee we let him go for nominal? In such situations it's pretty normal for clubs to insert a very large sell-on clause just in case. We signed Gerry Taggart for around £50k if I remember correctly, but Man City inserted a 50% sell on clause. Likewise when we bought Cameron McGeehan Luton reportedly had to give Norwich half of what we paid.
