Fantastic signing! Sold one quality LB for £28m, sign another for £8.75m.. Great bit of business that.

 

Now for Toby A....

 

I thought it was £31m for Shaw?

Get in! I mentioned in the other thread I wanted this and Alderweirld to sign today so halfway, I must admit I was totally underwhelmed when he signed, glad he's proved me wrong! :smug:

It's £8.75m

 

Utter bargain. No need to close the deal on our side at all, we could have agreed terms at any time between now and June 30th.

 

What a signing...!

Great news! Wasn't sure about Ryan when he initially joined because he's had a fairly patchy record with other teams but he's shown what a good player he can be in his time with us so far. With Targett coming through as well it looks like we have our LB slot sorted for years to come!

Good price for a very good English player, strange Chelsea normally don't sell cheap :)

 

Well they need the money, and still made a tidy 9 million pound considering he came from their academy.

 

However, some of the prices they have received have been ridiculous: Luiz, 50million, Lukaku, 28 million, Mata for 37 million and today, Andre Schurrle for 24!

 

Very good buy from us!

Wasn't a price agreed pre-loan? Not sure how these options to buy work. Is it a bargain? I find fees so difficult to keep track of that I don't know what's what. Looking at B'mouth offering £5m for an 18yo from Brum, suggests that it is.

Clever move...they needed to sell.

 

8.75m is a total bargain.

 

Is this so? With the FFP requirements on Chelsea for the expensive purchase they made - great work by SFC if the case. Been a great player for us this season; love his runs down the flank and he really has a good cross in his kit bag.

£8.75-10m

 

Wouldn't say its a total bargain but works out well for both sides given Chelsea paid £7m for Azpilicueta and £15.8m for Filipe Luis.

And he has great attitude.

Decent price for a very capable player. With him and Targett LB is starting to look good for the forseable future.

 

As weird as it sounds, I'm glad Ryan isn't 'too good' for us. By that I mean I can't see Liverpool chucking a desperate£25m at him any time soon, so he should stick around a while.

Means that Ryan can play in the away game at Stamford Bridge, too!

 

Unless the transfer agreement specifically prohibits this which is allowable under the rules.

 

Also, if we qualify for European football this fills one of our four association trained slots with a good player.

You sure that it is permitted under the rules, as I was led to believe that it was strictly against the rules.

I seem to remember we didn't bother with Beattie. That went well.

£8.75m is an absolute bargain, Bertrand has been absolutely top quality for us since he signed on loan in the Summer, hilarious to think United paid £32m for Shaw :lol:

Rule V.7.3:

 

if during the period of a Temporary Transfer the Player’s registration is transferred

permanently from the Transferor Club to the Transferee Club, the two Clubs may

agree in writing (to be copied to the League) that the Player shall not play against the

Transferor Club for the remainder of the Season;

Can someone dig up the page number on the summer thread when we signed him. Reading the comments now is going to be very amusing.

 

Amusing or petty?

Great news not just for this year but also the rest of this decade (twiddles thumbs counting one- two -three-spill beer - one two blah blah)
