Demitri_C Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Apparently according to luton today he is close to signing for luton on a permanent deal. Hopefully getting a nice sum for him but cant imagine it will be much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Need to get 2.4m euros back to cover FFP - I imagine it'll not be a great deal more than that. 4m euros maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Anything more than 5 would be good, I assume we might get a bit more as Luton is promoted and he’s been an important player to them, they would do well to get a better player. They aren’t Forest as well which thought they could buy everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Luton have got their PL money for this season like the rest of us, so they should get on with it and do the deal. Marvelous did enough to get them up there, to not be left hanging, wondering whether they will cough up for him. They won't spend a lot. They probably know this will be a one season only visit, albeit one that will secure their financial future, but making this signing is the least they should do, for their fans and to give themselves a fighting chance of staying up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Seems a sensible move all round. Was a decent buy for us. Good luck Marv. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Guy deserves a decent move. Hope it happens for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I think he's capable of playing DM for a PL team that doesn't get relegated. So if Luton sign him, they've done well. If they sign him for less than 5m they've done very well to get a player of his calibre. They won't get so lucky elsewhere on the pitch, but they'd be foolish if they don't meet our asking price on him... which I expect would be very reasonable considering his ability. You just know it will be one of those undisclosed transfers we never find out about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Frustrates me how we were blackmailed for Mings, yet we can't seem to do the same to others. Even Newcastle "only" paid 13M for Target - less than what we paid Southampton! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obligations to buy are just ways of skirting FFP for the season. It allows you to structure it so you have x outgoing in the loan period and y in the years after the transfer completes.

But when we bought him he was unproven in the Premier League. When we sold him he'd been player of the season and was coming into his prime. And of course, Mings lacked a body of work at Premier League level. Marv, theoretically we should break even on (we won't). On basis that he is a known quantity in the league (more challenging than Belgian Pro League). We won't though.
