BR said fee wasn't as high as what had been quoted in press
Did he actually say it wasnt as high as £7million?

I thought he just corrected the press that the figuring they were using wasnt accurate.
This is what I heard him say. Nothing about the fee being lower, only that 7m figure was wrong.

If the rumours going about tonight are true (They probably aren't) then the fee is £4.7m and its a done deal. 10% sell on.

Wow, great news & that's higher than I thought!
Pretty much the VVD money though, so still good.
Pay it, he's easily worth it.

Tremendous if so.

Dembele goes with our blessing & a massive profit, Eddie steps in.

Our model is working.

Anything less than £5m is fantastic business. The much-maligned scouting department has done some phenomenal work with the French connection.

Yip and it's done no harm at all to the squad harmony. The French speakers at the club seem a tight wee group.

It all depends on whether we sell Dembele which while it seems inevitable there’s no guarantee that will happen, if we keep Moussa then we’re spending £5,000,000+ (Our biggest fee in almost a decade) on someone who’s going to have non-stop competition for his spot in a team that plays one striker.

He’s a brilliant striker who’d only strengthen our squad long-term but i can’t see us spending that much on him unless we sell Moussa. I’d be surprised if we’ve agreed to sign him already unless we’ve somehow already agreed to sell Dembele or have big plans to sell him.

So if we sell Moussa and sign Eddy, it’s a brilliant piece of business. But if we keep them both then I think we’ve spent money that should be being spent on a first team quality defender. That’s nothing against Eddy, it’s just that we’ve got Dembele and Griff whilst having no consistent right backs. It wouldn’t make sense to spend big on another striker unless we’re so minted that we’re going to do both, which would be the dream transfer window :clap:

Dembele will go sometime.

It's short termism to let a guy like this go if he's already here and loving it.

Plus, as the season has shown, we've needed all three strikers and they've all played their part.

Totally agree with this. We play approx 60 games a season. We really do need three decent strikers. I don’t think anyone wants to see another qualification campaign where we’re forced to play Forrest or Roberts up front. Hopefully he signs ASAP.

Yep mate I’d hate for Eddy to go but I’m just desperate for us not to come out of another window still needing a defender. However I trust Brendan to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Would love to have this announced before the end of the season. Going into the summer with eddy ready for the qualifiers would be magic.

I think it would be worth getting this done now. We don't need to wait for the window to sign him, and as he is on loan with us anyway, I don't think we'd then have to wait until the window to play him?

We might have to effectively pay up the loan fee in addition to the transfer fee but if it lets us move into other targets it would be worth it.

This is correct. We bought boruc mid season and still had him in for day one of pre season in 2006.
