Not sure if table I looked at has updated though & if Atalanta still have 3 or 4 to play Napoli are shite. Bologna win their.... Link to comment

Surprised someone like you jumped in with that. 5th in Italy gets UCL next season. It is the top performing league in Europe this season by coefficient points. They get an extra spot (as do Germany). No longer a top league though, according to @RUL, on multiple occasions. 1 Link to comment

JakieBastard Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I was watching the game and he played on for another few mins before eventually coming off. Probably not the wisest move to try and run off an ACL with hindsight Link to comment

Fraser linked with arsenal / Liverpool then leaves Bournemouth on a bosman. McKenna out the team in EPL but gets loaned to a champions league team before being released. really not profiting from this sell on malarkey Link to comment
maryhilldon Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Have we ever actually made any money from a sell-on? I know we got £1m when McKenna helped get Forest promoted, but have we made anything from a future sale? Link to comment

The captain of Bologna and winner of midfielder of the year won’t be sold on the cheap, this is a coup for Bologna as well and won’t sell for any less than he’s worth, ridiculous to think otherwise, he’s really enjoying Bologna as well, do you think he’s going to fuck over his club by signing for a lower fee elsewhere?. Did he do that to us when we told him another year Lewis if you could.no and no. mad to think that folk forget that bologna is a big club as well and would just accept anything of the likes of juventus if they were to come in lol.

When I say cheap I'm meaning around 15m with a year left on his deal or so. It very much looks like he was going this summer and that would have been for £30m+ Now he could easily get back to the level he was at pre injury but it seems unlikely, at the end of the day as well Bologna are a selling club and each player has a price and a window to be sold in, him failing to get back to this level would see his value fall a fair bit.

Last years winner played for a lesser team and has went to inter for 27m euros. But given Bologna are going to be playing in CL and he’s on a long term contract it’s safe to assume it would have been a fair bit more. Link to comment

I think he will get back to the level he has and even surpass that due to his mental strength, looks a player that strives to be better, look at how he learnt Italian immediately to see he’s not fucking about.(top Scottish goal scorer in Italy ever as a midfielder) Bologna won’t want to sell cheaply as they don’t get 30 million pound players often, regardless if they are a selling club, let’s be honest, most clubs are selling clubs, including inter, Ac Milan juventus etc, they won’t as a business just take whatever for a star they might not get again within a ten year period.

Still has 3 years to go on his contract so even next summer, with still 2 years to go, IF he can get back to what he was (that’s the IF), then he can still be sold for €25m (£21.5m) or thereabouts. 15% of the profit would see us get about £3m. Fingers crossed Link to comment

I totally get where you are coming from but if he comes back from his injury and fails to replicate the form as his contract runs down I'm almost certain will take an offer that comes their way. 24 minutes ago, WesthillWanderersFC said: Still has 3 years to go on his contract so even next summer, with still 2 years to go, IF he can get back to what he was (that’s the IF), then he can still be sold for €25m (£21.5m) or thereabouts. 15% of the profit would see us get about £3m. Fingers crossed That would be ideal, he's still young and appears to be as good of a professional as you get, so hopefully that helps with the recovery process. 20 minutes ago, slippers said: Part of me does wonder if Cormack has enticed Thelin with a massive budget by hedging on the sale of Bojan and Ferguson. Would be daft to be counting on that money when you don't know what can happen, so aye he probably did use it to convince Thelin. Link to comment
