If he turns out any good then the sell on clause will bring us a few more ££, Stuttgart can't afford anymore at the moment anyway.
Are you kidding?
We bought him as a kid, he’s been playing regularly and performing very well in Germany for a couple seasons and we actually sold him for 3.5 million including the loan fee, the bonuses might not even happen, if you think that 5 million is a good deal when Liverpool sold Brewster who hadn’t even played top level football for 24 million you need to adjust your expectations. With his wages we’ve had to pay since the time we signed him we’re probably not far off breaking even.
It’s an awful deal for a player worth 3-4 times that and I can’t believe anyone would think it was a good deal, as I said before it would have been a good deal back in the 90s, but definitely not now.
If you want to see another awful deal, 50 million for White with only one season at the top level would be one, it’s actually laughable if we pay anywhere near that, he could turn out to be absolute rubbish.
Mate you must spend half your wages on kleenex between wanking and crying all the time, calm down.
Did you watch a single bundesliga game or are you just basing his quality off media reports? Where do you expect a valuation of 20m to come from when his market value on transfermarkt (not gospel but they do it across all players) is 5.4m? Where do you expect Stuttgart to magic up 20m from when they don't have it?
Get a grip and come back to reality, comparing him to a HG kid with English tax...what's the point? 5m + the sell on is fine for guy who has offered us nothing.
And you find an excuse for everything this club does wrong, are you part of their or team or something? I mean there’s Saliba, Arteta, the terrible performances last season, their always seems to be an excuse, at least your consistent with it I guess.
I saw some of his performances, but he’s been rated highly over there, if that’s all they can afford find another buyer, we did for rubbish like Mustafi so I’m sure we can for Mavropanos. It’s become clear our transfer dealings are awful, on someone in complete denial couldn’t see that and this is just another example.
You don’t see any other top clubs selling for peanuts like this, as I said Brewster a championship player with barely a season went for 24 million and with that your entirely argument disintegrates as he wasn’t even playing top level football.
For that money I’d have kept him and given him a go, it’s not even worth selling.
