Will Buckley

Apparently Sunderland have made a bid for Will Buckley.

Rumours elsewhere say a £2.5m bid which would be worth £225k to us based on our 15% of profit sell on clause.

 

If we'd have kept Buckley that bit longer we'd have got the £2.5m, we sold too early and misjudged his potential etc. etc.

 

Not good enough for the Prem and always injured. Good luck Sunderland but it's a nice bit of money for us!

 

We'll take that.

 

Out of nowhere we're suddenly getting an income stream from players that I forgot we even had a stake in.

 

Looking forward to next week when Yeates gets his £6m move to Everton and we cash in on our 90% sell on clause.

 

Pozzi should have shown better foresight and held out for 100% in that case.

 

we had to sell Buckley at the time - it wasn't that we didnt realise the potential.

Makes you think how lucky we are now ....Troy would of gone for 4-5 million otherwise

 

:whoosh:

 

It's the Pozzo model. Get used to it.

 

whooooooooooosh

 

Not worthy of cleaning Paredes' boots.

 

Buckley to Sunderland

A fee has now been agreed of £2.5m for Will Buckley from Brighton to Sunderland.

That means Watford will receive £225k from a 15% sell-on. The Bassini legacy still lives on!!




Edit: Sorry just noticed there was another thread for this. Mods please merge.

 

Is this good business?

 

Ffs why didn't we negotiate a 127% sell on fee?

 

Isn't a 15% on any profit made?

 

I'm pretty sure this was a weird one in which we get 15% regardless of the price.

 

Hopefully. I'm just basing it off the BBC article at the time of the sale to Brighton.

Lots of substantial windfall this summer from Britt, Buckley, Belkalem and maybe Ekstrand.

Gives us some breathing room to bat away Deeney bids.

 

The Pozzo's should be ashamed letting him leave so cheaply.

This is their Cash for Questions scandal IMO

 

Quite a tough comment, seeing as it was Bassini that sold him........which makes me think, I hope Brighton have got the club's new account details and not use the one Baz set up!!

 

GoingDown is getting good at baiting hooks

BREAKING NEWS: Sunderland have completed the signing of Will Buckley from Brighton for £2.5million. #SSNHQ

 

Well I stand corrected it was 15% on any profit.

So that makes it £210k roughly.

 

Or £225k precisely.

 

Potato potato, tomato tomato.

Quite hard trying to write that phrase on the internet.

 

He is Robson Green in disguise

 

Not much but still better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

 

You might as well call the whole thing off

 

Too late, Buckleys gone and we got a pittance for him.

 

Pozzos will need that when Forest pay £30m for him next summer.

 

That's stupid because nobody says potato...everybody even in America says potato.

 

There is an accent around here where they actually say "bataydah".

Farking awful.

 

Ts in the middle of words is always a d for some reason there...budder, wader

Edited to say I don't know much about the rural WI accent but it can't be far removed from the rural MN and ND accents which make Geordie sound like the Queen's English.
