Dan Murphy Report post Posted November 9, 2005 Scott Sinclair is already looking like a bit of a bargain for that kind of money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Liu Report post Posted November 9, 2005 These fees are still quite high in my opinion, but I suppose if all three become good enough for the first team squad of 24 the fees will look very reasonable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lazza Report post Posted November 9, 2005 A bit concerned as to one aspect of this, yet again it's official that we are involved in an "illegal approach". http://uk.sports.yahoo.com/051109/1/eu70.htmlHey, I'm not naive and I know what goes on etc but it's not too great for our image if we are continually in the press and before the FA for this sort of thing.

TeRiYaKi Report post Posted November 9, 2005 The maximum compensation fee we would have to pay is:Ryan Bertrand - £775k (125 + 50 + (4 x 100) + 200)Harry Worley - £800k (150 + 50 + (4 x 100) + 200)Scott Sinclair - £950k (200 + 50 + (4 x 125) + 200) Plus 15% on next sale.If the youth player isn't good enough for our first team then we'll only end up paying approximately £158k for him which is okay. If he turns out to be first team material then we end up paying approximately £842k, and given that we could probably fetch a bare minimum of £4 mil for say Huth or Johnson I think these compensation fees are fair.

Kristina Report post Posted November 9, 2005 I cannot really talk about the commensurateness and proportionality of these specific figures. However, it's certainly justified that the clubs have to pay fees.I don't think that there is any reason to complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicMunky Report post Posted November 9, 2005 quote:Originally posted by Paul McgoochanHow much is this kid from Southampton now worth?£6 mill was the last figure I heard.id="quote">id="quote">Theo Walcott is supposed to be the focus of a 8m bid from us, he's scoring fairly regularly for Soton but its alot of money for a 16yr old. Put is this context, maybe Sinclair's fee is cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alby Report post Posted November 9, 2005 The up front component of the fees seems a bit high - would the tribunal have made such a high ruling if the buying club was anyone other than us? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OzzyCFC Report post Posted November 9, 2005 Does anyone know if the international component is just senior internationals or does it include u/17's u/21's etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
