You would hope though the buying club would have factored the transfer fee into their current years budget. Well any other club than us would have done. Blades sign Norwood with a view to permanent in January do you think they have allocated how much the fee is going to be, or do you think they will just wing it and hope for the best come January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And someone said "I know you've got £800k, but we're not going to let you spend it because you've broke some little rules we have" I don't really know what the blunts get up to.

Norwood deal is we loan him now and then make it permanent in Jan (Just to get around the Window shutting early) Our deal for Venancio was we loan him now, and IF we want to buy him, we can for X amount. Two totally different deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two totally different deals. Don't you be using facts on room0355. It confuses him. But yeah, it is a shame we couldn't bring back Venancio. Suppose that was one of the biggest indication we were flipped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Given we are still playing at the back, he would have been a perfect fit on the right of a back 3. It would also release Hutch in defensive midfield to replace the struggling Joey. We would have looked a much more solid side. To think weve splashed £4m on JVA and we couldn't get a deal done for Venancio for £800k due to FFP! Fukinel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be pedantic, but David Brooks isn't a Sheffield lad. United picked him up from Manchester City when they released him. Just in case them lot try to claim he's one of their own if he ever makes it big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I bet it was over 2 million. No it wasn't, it was never rumoured to be that. At the time of the signing it was reported in the Dutch press the fee was, with add-ons, €2.5m. Equally in the British press it was reported as, with add-ons, £2.5m. I think it's safe to say that one of the potential add-ons was a promotion clause, so it wouldn't be an unfair guesstimate that the initial transfer fee was within the region of 2 million pounds/euros. Half of the 'rumoured' fee that was fabricated by Rocket on here. Also worth noting that he originally started the misstruth around late autumn last year and he started with £3m before increasing that fee incrementally up to £4m by spring. He even tried saying it was £4.5m a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah cos Maguire would have chosen us over Leicester wouldn't he . They also paid 12m for him, rising to 17m. We had no chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we know whats going on with the club i have no problem with what the club has done. Just wish we had been told at the time instead of being led to believe that we were trying to sign him.
