What Is The Clubs Transfer Strategy

[wassy04]

I know it but no details please.

Well then how am I supposed to believe it?

Sorry, but I've never seen anything officially state we got 3.5m for Soudani, other than Twitter rumours & suchlike from folk who claimed we were signing Mbaye Diagne this window

I mean, it makes no sense. We signed him for 3m Euros according to the NEP, so £2.65m

So why would a season later, after being out injured for most of it, his value INCREASE to 3.5m?

Did Darikwa go for 3m to Wigan after we paid 2m for him? No, he went for nothing. No players value increases by being out the team injured.

Someone's telling big fat porkie pies here IMO

You don't have to sell at exactly market rate, teams pay over the odds for players all the time. Particularly if the buyer also has a vested interest in the sale.

Anyway, Soudani was a great player, gutted we sold him (in case there are any FFP police reading this)  :D

Sorry mate, doesn't stack up at all. I flat out don't believe a word of it.

If someone gives me a link to a reported fee then fair enough. But it stands it doesn't make any sense, and asking someone to believe in a figure pulled out of thin air, on top of the fact that figure is for 850k extra than we paid after a lengthy injury is really stretching it.

More than happy to change my mind if anyone can provide any evidence, even rumours or reports with the press. I can't find anythin though.

You're aware this is essentially an intercompany transfer right? It will always be undisclosed for precisely the reason above, it's clearly over market value and they don't want to raise loads of red flags. Seems like common sense to me.

The main reason I believe this to be the case is it just makes rational sense, if Oly don't need the money on their books and we struggle with FFP why wouldn't you do this? He's not gaining or losing money, just moving it between two companies.

Again though Soudani was a fantastic player though and I will always cherish the memories of his appearances...
