Him doing a job in Championship might bump up a fee next summer Am I missing something? Making a profit = FFP beneficial. The reason youth players sales are considered FFP beneficial is because they cost £0, so ANY fee is FFP beneficial. Have I got this wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t come through our academy, so we may have paid a fee to obtain him in the first place. So unless we sell on a higher value there may not be any profit. At a guess I’d say that’s what Zatman meant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 We'll make a profit - all his loan fees will have covered whatever fee we paid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I think there would still be a decent percentage of the profit on him we'd benefit from, over and above a normal player sold with a couple of years left on their contract. If we signed him on a free then up to certain ages tribunals set a sell on fee we owe to whoever had him before. There'll likely be a development fee we owe to whoever we bought him from, but the rest should be pure profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll still bring us a decent figure if we sell him to a champ club after a good season. I dont know why we'd have given him an extension if that wasn't our aim.

Rich192 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 West Brom released him, so we didn’t pay them a fee. They would be owed a small percentage of any fee, but it would be probably about 5% maximum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rds1983 Posted September 25, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2023 Schumacher (Argyle's boss) has been saying some very nice things about Azaz after the last game. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66910415 "Whittaker and Finn Azaz I thought were outstanding... He's shown a quality that we know he's got," Schumacher said. "He had a brilliant start to the season last year, he got a real nasty injury and when he came back he looked really sharp for the first few games and then he struggled to get in a full rhythm because an injury like that in mid-season can affect you. "But he's come back from Villa, it took him a few weeks to get going here, his pre-season wasn't as intense as ours was, but now he's up to speed he's showing the quality that we know he's got, that was why we were so keen to bring him back. "He's the most intelligent footballer away from football I've ever met, his game knowledge is outstanding, and his passing and his quality today that he showed was exceptional, and I'm made up that he's got his goal because he deserved it." 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he went with the 1st team training camp to America and didn't, as far as I recall, feature in any of the games. Lower leagues also start their seasons earlier, so you would expect them to ramp up a week or two before our 1st team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
