Let’s not exaggerate the numbers here. It’s looking like payments totalling 22.5m over a period of time plus some possible wishful add-ons.Let's see what happens.
Spence and Tav cost us nothing and we are selling them on for more than 24 million.
It's just two players.
It's either going to go horrendously wrong or we could be looking at some genius decisions from our club.
Oh yes... Forgot we've lost our 'setplay specialist'
Yes, their agenda is “the long term survival of the club”, not “keeping all our best players and also making a bunch of big name signings”.
And that taviener is going to a team that is going to be relegated….
Tav was nailed on hard work, commitment and quality. Let's go out and spend that money on Britt Assombalonga.Marcus has generated a minimum of £10m profit to add to the £12.5m minimum profit that MFC will make on Spence.
That has massive FFP ramifications. That £22.5m will show as Profit in this season's P&L and FFP.
I am disappointed the club could not get more for either, but its clear there was no bidding war for either player.
I hope both lads do well at their new clubs and we get the £10m add ons.
I am also disappointed at the timing of the Tav sale, so close to the season starting.
It is crystal clear that the club need 3 good strikers (Forss likely to be one of them)
They also need a LCB, a DCM and now an AM.
The good news is that they have the budget to do it and FFP scope to do it. This is now without question.
5 more players on top of Forss, including 3 loans, means we have scope to permanently sign 2 very good players.
The question is will Gibson go for it?
I still think he will.
Tavernier is a good player, but I would not be pleased if we were the ones paying £10m plus £2.5m add ons for him, rather than receiving it.
We won't miss Spence, he was not in our team.
We will miss Tav, but if we use the budget well, we will be better off for that deal too.
Good luck and thanks Tavernier
Crack on Gibson and get the quality in.
Is that not the managers deficiency rather than the players? Bodes even less well.
Hard work and commitment, yes. Quality very occasionally.
Good point. Tav showed the same deficiency under Warnock too. Perhaps we‘re just lacking in set-piece left footers.
This is true. But then they're not trying to just kick a dead ball close to the goal. They're trying to do it with pace and dip and to very specific areas. Which is a lot harder to do and why mistakes are made.
