Quoted from Davec
I don't see what Middlesbrough would do with a sell on percentage, let's assume he has a brilliant season and we sell him for a million and they have a 10% sell on fee, what would they do with that 100k they will gain? When they are in the championship or maybe even premiership that 100k isn't going to do anything for them is it.

Obviously that is just a random working assumption


I don't think a championship club would turn their nose up at 100k, they're still a business.

I'd be amazed if they didn't stick a sell on clause on the deal personally.

25% is probably a more realistic sell on percentage. I think that is what we had on Dembele.

It would be the kind of nice problem we just haven’t had for as long as I can remember. If we end up having to send somewhere between half-a-million and a million quid Middlesbrough’s way in a couple of year’s time, we’re probably doing alright.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

With all these promising new arrivals I wonder how many of last seasons squad will be first choice for our new starting eleven?

Clifton, for sure. Glennon perhaps. Who else?

That's how you progress.

Squad players move on and first teamers become the squad players.

I wish people on here would stop talking about selling our best players or sell on clauses.

If we have ambition we should be thinking how do we hang on to our best players and try and improve the squad window after window like Jason has said a few times.

Who knows where we will end up but I know we will all enjoy the ride.

Dont kid yourself, every club in the world is a selling club, if the price is right, and selling at a great profit allows us to re-invest in the next couple to develop.  Its a perfect business model at our level. And the next ones we target see how we've developed, and helped the previous incumbents achieve a move to a higher level. Makes us a very attractive proposition to young and talented players I would imagine...

In that case why have we paid a fee for him?why didn't they just give him to us? A very strange way of thinking.

Yeah I've been surprised at the lack of activity elsewhere, it's really highlighted our completely unTownlike window so far. Particularly, Stockport seem to have switched off their money tap.

Also that list of the top 7 faves really shows what a tough start we have. We play 6 of those 7 in our first 8 matches. Yikes. Still, could be a good time to be playing them.
