LxYoungAVFC Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 43 minutes ago, brummybloke said: Its the biggest payday exeter have ever had. They have sold players to top teams previously such as vinnicombe to rangers some 15 years plus ago for 250k or what ever it was, ampadu to Chelsea, but nothing quite like this. It will keep exeter solvent for 2 years on its own. The training ground can be updated and improved upon bearing in mind the amount of use from all the junior exeter teams also use it and it can also get better security to stop the travellers from trying to invade it each year as they do to the pub car park over the road. With no other funding as no crowds, sponsorship down to minimal and shirt/ club souvenir sales not huge, it keeps them healthy. Everyone liked that.

Had to laugh when someone on the Brentford site suggested they name their new ground "The Aston Villa Stadium" as we had pretty much paid for it! Joking aside, I think if we were after benrahma then it would have been a joint purchase so Brentford could minimise the resale fee to Exeter. It would have been structured that watkins would be less than we paid and benrahma would be slightly more than they would have accepted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it shows Benrahma is not in the works. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More deals need to be structured like this so small clubs can share some of the outrageous wealth of The Premier League. It's made me actually happy to read this. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodsBarkeep Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 1 hour ago, ThunderPower_14 said: This is so exciting to watch! A genuine poacher type who reads the play well, positions himself well and can finish one touch from all sorts of positions. 26 goals without penalties is spectacular at Championship level. We'd have paid this much for Tammy last year if Chelsea didn't have the transfer ban, and I see this as just as good a signing. Absolutely thrilled. Most exciting signing since what, Carew?

Its would make zero difference to agents, they get their fee no matter what the deal is. Each deal will not be based on a % of the sale fee, it will be negotiated between the player the buying club and possibly other interested parties. Some may have a % of the sale fee but I would bet the majority are not. Other wise whats the point having an agent if you are a free transfer? No fee for the player so the agent would get no fee.
