I don't think Hamer is a 10 naturally either. Only got pushed up there due to an injury to O'Hare. Almost by chance and its revolutionised their season because the last quarter of the season he has been immensePayero isn’t a number 10 he’s an 8
That £2.7m risk isn't true though.We risk losing £2.7m (what we paid) v. £100m + getting promoted.
But it's highly unlikely we get a cheque for, say, £20m. It will be paid in installments so getting -say - £6-7m up front, paying £10m + for a suitable replacement.......figures suddenly don't seem to stack up.That £2.7m risk isn't true though.
We risk losing the amount someone will offer us.
And someone will definitely offer us much much more than £2.7m.
Its all about how much risk we are willing to take on one player and at £25m (plus a big package for any new contract for him) it's an obvious choice.I'd be absolutely gutted to lose him but if any team is offering close to that sort of money there is no way we can turn it down. Can't imagine anyone would pay that based on one good season though
Boro always factor big transfer fees received so - if the agreed fee is £20 million - Boro would get about £19 million straight away.But it's highly unlikely we get a cheque for, say, £20m. It will be paid in installments so getting -say - £6-7m up front, paying £10m + for a suitable replacement.......figures suddenly don't seem to stack up.
We also know he CAN score goals in this team, no guarantee his replacement will.
Selling him or keeping him it's a big, big gamble.
It doesn’t add up because you don’t have boro paying in instalments which we would likely do.But it's highly unlikely we get a cheque for, say, £20m.

I'll get pelters for this, but IF we lose Chuba, I'd love Bamford back. I think he'd be perfect for that number 10 role, and ideal for Carrickball too.
Could they? Wasn't the rumour they were going to buy him then sell him on for £15m? Think about how ridiculous that is. No club in the world is going to pay for that much Payero. He's done nowt at Boca that would suggest he's even worth a 3rd of that. Boca might buy him but no way are they immediately selling him on for a profitPayero isn’t coming back, deal already agreed and they know they can buy him and sell him for more straight away. I expect these rumours to be used for Akpom’s agent to get the best deal for him, at 28 and after the season he’s had this next contract is massive financially for Akpom. I feel he’s happy here, but at the end of the day it’s his career and the agent is employed to get the best deal he can wherever that might be
If that's true about Payero then why aren't we simply cutting out the middle man and selling him ourselves for the higher price?Payero isn’t coming back, deal already agreed and they know they can buy him and sell him for more straight away.

I know right, a guy who has played 30 times in the Premier League this year, definitely not good enough for Boro.
Middlesbrough. They guy isn’t going to get better now he’s approaching 30magnificent for who?
You really don’t have a clueSome were saying we should pay upwards of 30m for archer, Chuba must be worth £100m at those prices.

Part of the loan deal includes an option to buy for a pre-arranged fee (which was £5m).If that's true about Payero then why aren't we simply cutting out the middle man and selling him ourselves for the higher price?
I don’t have a clue about what? You still think archer is worth 30? £10-12m is about right I was also right about Isaiah jones and I took a lot of stick in that thread. Just because you don’t agree doesn’t make me wrong.You really don’t have a clue
