What’s the record fee for a defender coming out of the championship? Has £15 million ever been paid for a championship defender?

 

Ben Gibson to Burnley 15mil

Chris Mepham to Bournemouth 12mil

Adam Webster to Brighton 20mil

EFL ruling will probably be that we immediately have to sell any player we receive an offer for - and for every one we do sell, we get a point less deduction.

But if we refuse any sale, regardless of the amount, it's another five points off.

 

:duntmatter:lol

 

..and a lifetime ban for Forestieri.

£15m is a good price, add in a sell on percentage and think it would be a very good deal. 

 

Be sad to see him leave, but we need to learn to sell at the top of market value and we do have decent back up options. 

 

One caveat though is whether the EFL are insistent on points deductions, embargoes etc.. If we can't reinvest in the squad, what's the point of selling.

£15m is a pretty good deal for a player who cost £200k less than a year ago and only got a run in the team at CB for the last 3 months due to Lees being injured.

 

It won't happen though, some teams seem to get great fees for their sold players, others either get peanuts or nothing. We're one of the others.

But we don't tend to sell players, so Burnley can assume when we do it'll have to be good

We should wait and see how December goes. If we're in a good position in contention for the playoffs then I think we would be wise holding off until the end of the season. Whatever he's worth in January he will still be worth the same amount in June and we won't have sold our best player (on this season's performances) halfway through the season.

Amazing what you can do with a decent scouting network and a good reputation. Bruce signing Borner, Harris and Iorfa for basically nothing is the way forwards. That and a good youth team, as a fan base we hav egot to get away from this desire to sign Rhodes type players and work the market much more effectively

Burnley or any other club will know how much we paid just a few months ago

 

We ain't getting 15 mill

 

Dunt matter, that's like saying nobody will buy your eBay rare Beanie Baby if they know you got it for £4 from the 'wrongly spelled listings' section lol

 

 

edit:  no idea what a beanie baby is, obviously :ph34r:
