Quoted from Jarmo.Is.God
Not properly read this thread, but to me, 100k is a good deal all round.

Pros for Watford:
Young
Played 50? senior games already

Cons:
Just had a relegation on his CV
Injured for 2/3 months of the season

To us, you take into account the injuries
he's got 1 year left, and come next year can leave on a free
he has big potential, so 100k, plus 'significant' add ons is a good deal for both parties IMO


150% more than i was happy with.... beautiful

Go smash it Mattie!

Fair play to his agent(his dad) getting this deal sorted, really hope he kicks on and be interesting to watch his progression through the ranks.
Nice little lump into our own transfer coffers and should Dembele go from posh then hopefully we'll not be down Poundland this year and we'll actually spend some money on a decent squad for next season
Anyway, I digress, all the best to Mattie and alsi kudos to Neil Woods too

I must admit, when the story began to emerge yesterday the figure of £100k just didn't seem right. Assuming we have some healthy add-ons, I feel much better about it than I did yesterday.

Short of an auction between prospective suitors, we of course lost leverage when we dropped out of the league whilst he also he only had one year to run on his contract - I would have had little expectation of any tribunal cutting us a fair deal.

To put this into context, I think this is the third largest initial transfer fee we have received for a player since we sold Jack Lester over 20 years ago (Christ, that makes me feel old). Only Bogle and Bennett have gone for more. It's also almost 1.5x the impressive amount raised by Operation Promotion back in 2015, and it will go a long way in the National League on top of the £100k already received from Peterborough and next season's parachute money. Oh, and of course, no benign loan repayments!

Things are looking up. We just need Dembele to get his arsé in gear, be a good boy now, Siriki...


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

250k is the initial fee. Got to assume there are add ons so we need him to make 50 first team appearances next season, get into the England squad and see Watford qualify for the Champions League and we'll be laughing.


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

😂 Are you Knut in disguise?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
