Wolves looking at Spence - £5 million?

With Spence there is the potential to be a regular Premier League with a value of around £20m, so paying £5m is saying he has a 25% chance of making at that level, which seems about right to me. However I would insert performance fees and transfer sell on clauses. Say £3m for 50 Premier League appearences. £3m more for 100 appearences etc. The buying club is only paying if he does well, so its no risk to them.

Anything below a upfront £5m is a straight no - the lad has a lot of potential similar to Traore at the same age.
 
Surely people realise that if we want a sell on clause included then his transfer fee will be less? We can't have it both ways.

Seems highly unlikely we'd get £5m and be able to insist on say a 20% sell on clause.

If we want the clause in, that's probably at least £1m off his fee.

I don't think Spence does have premier League potential. Tav is the only player in the squad I think could make the step up.

Thats a fairly bold statement to make about a 20 year old Sheriff. Here are just some players who made it later than 20. Drogba, Miroslav Klose, Van Nistelroy, Kevin Philips and Ian Wright. All older than 20 before making a step up from the lower divisions, in some cases coming from amatuer football.

Strange one - at first he looked a bit different a bit special - there was a fear we would lose him - now I would take whatever we can get

If we look back at it, it was a bit of a dark and depressive period, the team was probably at it's lowest point since 86. So any glimmer... On top of that, it was his athletiscism that stood out, good balance and pace. That can turn a good player into a great player, but I've never been convinced it can turn a poor one into a good one regularly. The game is played largely in the head, and largely without the ball. When you cannot pick the right pass, the right time to dribble, the right time to put the ball in early, and right time to tackle and the right time to delay, then you're on a loser.

Yes can’t disagree with what you’ve written. If reports of 5m are true that could be a great bonus. Will help us purchase some other players.

Please let us have the intelligence to bang in a 15-20% sell on clause.

Same old question: would you take a £5million up front fee, or £4million now with a 15-20% sell on clause?

No buyer agrees to a sell on clause without knocking something off the upfront price.

Insist on £5million AND a sell on clause, and the deal collapses....
