ANNOUNCE PATRICK ROBERTS

A compromise has to be made somewhere. 100% is nonsense aye, but a high percentage of future profit clause is likely. If a deal is to be done..

 

Buy him 10m have him a couple seasons then sell him for 28m with 50% clause and we're still making profit... I'd say we could Deffo command 25m even and we would make loads through cl qualifications cause we'd be that strong all round

 

Hope he wears 4 shin pads and a helmet next time we play the Huns

 

An armalite is obligatory.

 

Yer dad on twitter getting too excited about him being left outta City's squad.

 

Theres too much positive stuff coming out of every corner for this to be a pipe dream surely!

 

I don't even think that is a goer.

What is a high percentage? More than half? Let's say 60%?

Let's say we pay 8m for him and Man City are entitled to 60% of the profit of the next sale. That would mean we'd need to sell him for nearly 30m just to break even.

 

Thanks, mate! I thought so, by tagging his personal Twitter into a conversation, they're directly involving him in discussions. I'm sure Rodgers will be asked about the transfer tonight, will be interesting to see if he gives anything away but he will probably have a considered answer ready.

 

The sell on

percentage would be on the excess .ie after the 8 million was recouped by Celtic

 

40-50% I'd say would be more realistic..

 

First time post.

I don't get all of this sell on clause malarkey. City have the backing of oil sheiks ffs. Do you think they really care about getting (what is in comparison, two fifths of f**k all in the grand scheme of things).
Either we should pay the money and forget about potential resale value or get him on loan for another 2 years, that way we would have had him for 3.5 years and not paid a penny in transfer fees? Not many of the "potential stars" we have brought recently have been with us for this amount of time. Granted we don't make any money but you know what, you can't make money every single time, take this one on the chin Celtic. Get him up the road, get him signed, get him back in the side. Job done.

 

Of course they care about future income. They're a business, not a charity.

 

I'm puffed with this

 

Didnt think 3rd party ownership was allowed in European football teams.

 

Any real update? Xoxo

 

It will be announced on Monday before the next European match.



Here's hoping

 

KDS is reporting should be done next year.

 

I'd take that tbh.

 

Sorry I mean 2020.
