Why would we want another injured playerIF and I say IF again, there is substance to this, I wouldn't be surprised if Calum is offered.

40 million, 20% of which will go to Liverpool? They're having a laugh. Offer 80 million and it's worth considering if we can get a decent replacement in quickly.
It's on the profitIs it 20% of the total or 20% of the total over the fee we paid?
Don’t disagree with your points but ffp means our current outgoings don’t make sense unless you sell your assets for a decent return from time to time. Brighton do this well on smaller initial outlays. Would only sell if we get top dollar for him and not until summer.I would keep him, if our club want to do a Brighton and challenge for a place in Europe, you keep your best players.
Bill Foley has ambitions and selling Solanke for me would be a big mistake.
Finding a good striker who scores goals on a regular basis isn’t easy and a lot of other clubs are looking for that same player.
We thought we needed Adams to replace Lerma tbf......nobody saw a Cook and Christie partnership being so effective.Why do we have to sell for FFP? Why can we just not spend so much money on players? We didn’t need either Adams or Traore really, that’s 45m already!

I think it’s good that future signings can see there is a path from afcb to a top club as we want ambitious players. Also have seen some of our best players stagnate as they stayed too long / think this helped contribute to our relegationI am sure that our brightest and best players would want to prove themselves on the biggest stage, which isn’t something we can offer. So it makes sense to sell on on the very best players when we can.
No one on here seems to begrudge Nathan Ake’s opportunity to go to Man City and I for one would be glad to see Solanke’s hard work rewarded by a move to a top club, with a decent fee in return.
I thought it was 20% within 3 years.Is it 20% of the total or 20% of the total over the fee we paid?
Regardless of the time frame...........I thought it was 20% within 3 years.
I'm pretty sure any buy back clause would have expired long ago.So could Liverpool buy him back at the buyback price and then sell him on
Maybe I'm thick too but does selling in January actually afford a premium on the price over selling in the summer?Maybe I'm being thick but hypothetically if it's £120M now or £80M in the summer surely it's better to sell now?
If nothing else it's worth 6 months of amortisation on the contract. In general I'd guess the short window in comparison to the summer just puts the onus on the buying club to 'put up or shut up' bid the asking price or move onto other targets, they can't haggle around too long.Maybe I'm thick too but does selling in January actually afford a premium on the price over selling in the summer?
Typically it does but the original question was that I would think the sale price would be more important than the timing when it comes to FFP, the numbers I made up for illustration.Maybe I'm thick too but does selling in January actually afford a premium on the price over selling in the summer?
