That was a cracking use of....
£6m (if you ask me)
£23k, a set of tracksuits and first dibs on Jordan Ibe (if you ask @DJ )
or maybe somewhere in between.....
I'm really struggling to think of a clause he may have activated in his time here SDD. Parking his car exactly between the lines of his parking space 20 times prior to training ???Do you reckon there's any chance at all that Brad Smith triggered any performance related clauses? There's no chance we gave them £6m for him.

Nice to see we're clearing the decks.
Sky said this when he signed.....
Sky sources understand Smith will join for an initial fee of around £3m fee that could rise to £6m, including add-ons and bonuses.
Interested in what add ons or bonuses he got...anyone ?
edit SDD beat me to it
You add on an extra million for each year for bad signings and deduct £1m a year for good signings.If you add any wages paid by us or any club be played for on loan you could claim it was £10million. I think that's how it works for players that weren't good signings?
Joking aside (which I was) nobody on here ever takes money off the price we get for our players which means I presume it’s only us that do staggered deals. We don’t question the 12m we got for Afobe and the 8m we got for Grabban. They become ‘great deals’ with the case paid straight into the bank. Our deals though are a fraction of what the media quote with lots of add ons.£6m for Neil's purposes then - which are definately not trying to skew all possible evidence to make Howe look as bad as possible. Oh no.
