supermon Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 The longer this one goes on the more I feel some other club will snoop in and Rashica will choose then over us... We need this one tied up asap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This transfer matters in a way others haven’t so much because it will make such a difference to the overall attacking output. Rashica is as important as Watkins imo - and he’s going to be a star for us. ITSOTP and then we’ll be ready to give Sheffield a good seeing to. Starting strongly will really set the tone for the season, so fingers crossed it’s done this week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to clutch at straws I would say it's the final intricate details of the deal between the clubs? Probably something as silly as a sell on clause percentage that could be holding the whole thing up? Just a wild guess though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve a feeling it’s payment structure. they probably want the payment all up front (due to their financial troubles) and villa want to pay it in instalments (due to our FFP) just my guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It very much does if you structure your payments over a number of years. FFP takes into account a rolling 3 year period, so if you pay Werder 1 million a year for 4 years, then 14 million in year 5 it has a huge effect on both clubs accounts. I don't know if the figure is available but the amount of money sloshing about between clubs that owe each other all over the world is probably in the billions.

My understanding is that the full amount that is guaranteed on his transfer plus the total guaranteed value of his contract is amortised into a yearly figure? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not split that way. Clubs can choose how to 'structure' the deal i.e. how much is due on what date (similar to a loan.) That's what holds a lot of transfers up. If we give Werder X amount right up front we have to declare that to FFP and Werder can show it as a net positive. But if we want to spread the payments out over time then Werder may demand a larger amount of money over that length of time. Time is money! Hence why you often hear the structure of the deal is holding things up. Edited September 14, 2020 by TheAuthority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just looking for a definitive answer on FFP only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 If he’s happy with the deal and we’ve agreed the terms with Werder, what the f*** is the hold up? We can’t afford to be waiting 2 weeks for him to end up choosing a different club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LxYoungAVFC Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Apparently Bremen's Baumi is a shrewd negotiator so this may well be one of his tactics to milk us for every last penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
