[Official Site] Kieffer Moore Joins Wigan Athletic

I think the ball park transfer fee is well understood. It's neither a good deal, nor bad. But I'd be disappointed if boot were ont other foot. I like Keiffer and would like him to have stayed, but investing that kind of money is risky business, bordering on folly.
First clash of heads, with an opposing defender, & he will rightfully be subbed & precautionally sidelined for a few months..
He's repaid our investment, doubt he'll do the same for Wigan.
But good luck to the lad, I liked him..

 

Yes I said the same on Saturday.

If he wants to leave, why make him run down 1 year of this contract, after which he'll be a) 28, so less valuable b) will have missed a load of chances in the Championship so will be less valuable (my opinion only of course) c) have only 1 year left on his contract so will probably be less valuable.

This is the most he'll ever be worth so it's the best we can do really, if he doesn't want to be here.

And the owners are re-investing the profits back into the team, so I don't have any issues at all. If they buy a 21 year old for 3 million who could be worth double or treble that in two years time, that's how you grow the club.

So long as it isn't Ivan Toney.

 

Conway said this in a interview could have been the on with the lads from tykes TV he was explaining the potts sale with 2.5 years left on his contract.

 

Strange feeling with this one.

When Pinnock was announced for 3 million I was genuinely gutted and fuming with the club that we let such a talent go for so little.

However with this one I feel the club have done brilliantly and need praising if the deal is the reported 4 million. I’m excited to see what we get in return because let’s be honest there’s a lot better talents out there for 4 million that Kieffer.

I’m not slagging the lad because he’s been a cracking servant to the club and I appreciate his efforts but 4MILL? Wow.

 

It’s being reported from £2.5M to £4M in different circles so it’s anyones guess.

 

£2.5 - £3million.

That sounds more like Barnsley to be fair.

Fee is neither here nor there if they don’t spend it that said. Let’s see what happens before Thursday.

 

Stop talking sense.

 

I think you’re reading too much into that comment about selling players in the last year of their contract. They will sell when they’re in the last year but that doesn’t mean that they will only sell players at that stage of their contract. Every player has a value.

My gripe is that if you’re going to offer longer contracts then we really should expect to see transfer fees substantially higher when there’s plenty of time left on them. If the fee is nearer to £4m then that seems ok. If it’s the £2.5m-£3m quoted then that seems too cheap in the context of his record last year and his contract situation.

 

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

We've no Kieffer Moore.

 

We’ll spend some of the money and the team will still be worse.
If Woodrow gets injured we’re in trouble.
No plan B.
Sold to a rival, so harms us there too.

Happened eith Roberts - cashed in but it sent us down. Birmingham stayed up by the skin of their teeth.

Stupid.

 

He's never a £4m striker so excellent business. Let's see what they bring in.

 

Would've been a very good option off the bench this season. But doubt he would've been happy with that and if we got 3-4 million for a sub that's very good business. As long as we reinvest in someone better.

 

Apparently there are two sell ons to meet from any fee recieved . Been reading that Ipswich have a 10%
clause with Forest Green Rovers also probably due to as much as 20%.

It's saying we paid £750,000 for him, so if we've let him go for £3 million, discounting the original fee paid
and the add ons, it doesn't sound as though we may have made as much as we may have realistically wanted for him.

Obviously it would be better for us, if the fee turns out to be the £4 million being reported on various other sites
that we are seeing.

 

‪Hate stuff like this. “Never forgot blah blah blah” till another club comes along and offers a bit more cash. ‬

 

Surely forest green had their 20% when we paid 750k for him?
I don't think we would of sold if we weren't happy with the profit we had made to reinvest we didnt have to sell he may have wanted to go but owners always said players would only leave when a bid received it deemed good enough millwall broke their transfer record for Bradshaw preston did for potts...

 

I think the sell on clause is usually on profit above what we paid for him. So if he sold for a 1m it would be 10% of the difference between 750k-1m so £25k rather than £100k if that makes sense.

 

Have to admit I don't know how it works. Attachment below popped up on " News Now."

I wish the bloke well. He was a major part in a season that the kids and myself thoroughly enjoyed so best wishes.

 

Blow. We are a much better side then the one we were when he scored 4 in 20. Reckon he’ll get 15 if he starts regularly. I think our 4-3-3 system is fine without him. But in certain situations when we might go deeper and end up with one on their own trying to hold on for a point or three especially away from home I’d rather have Moore up top then any of our other strikers. I’m guessing he’ll be on more money which makes me think Wigan are not complying with FFP rules unless they’ve found another 10k fans under the settee.
