EADT can't even make up their minds. Alex Jones reporting the £7m euro fee but to be fair does quote Fabrizio, whereas in their video piece Stu Watson is still saying £8.7m The difference is likely to be one includes all fees from the year loan etc - as mentioned earlier in lots of cases each club reports something to their local media to massage opinion a lot of the time |  | |  |
| muric to sassuolo on 15:03 - Jun 1 with 739 views | Rsj13 | I'm finding the response to this one a bit surprising. The world and their dog knows that he won't play for Ipswich again. Therefore it's a buyers market for him. We've (roughly) broken even on what was ultimately a poor buy for us. At Ipswich he's a bit of a "car that's sitting on the driveway but not being used", so therefore anything we get for him is ultimately positive. To me, this feels like nice cover. Sassuolo took a risk by bringing him in and got what is hopefully a decent price for him, but I don't think we should be too mad if they skim us for a couple of million quid for essentially rehabilitating our player, and then paying to have him. Cast our minds back to last summer: did any of us really expect we'd get anything close to breaking even on Muric? |  | |  |

I think the situation you're describing is if they keep hold of him for next season? If, as seems to be the general belief, they're about to flog him on for a decent profit, I'd be rather miffed that we've ended up being forced to sell an asset for less than market value. |  |

That's a fair point. The only thing I would say is that they're the ones that took the risk on him, and therefore will get a "cut". Because I suspect the alternative (if that option wasn't included, and Sassuolo therefore said no on the original loan) was probably that he sat collecting dust at Town and his value accelerate towards nothing. |  | |  |

Also, we may have negotiated a sell-on, so we could still get a bit more from the deal if they sell for a profit. Saying that, we may owe Burnley a sell-on fee. |  | |  |

if it was an obligation, that would have been a risk on their part, but an option makes it more of a risk on our part; if the loan had gone poorly, his value would have been even less. |  |

A sell on fee for Burnley would only be on profit. I don't think we need to worry about that tbh. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Interesting point. My thinking is that would his value would have been less than it would have been as a third choice goalkeeper in the Championship who probably wouldn't have played a minute or football in a year? I don't really think so to be honest. They took a risk on him in the same way we took a risk on someone like Kalvin Phillips... It was a spot on their squad that they took on a "on paper good player but It hasn't worked out for recently". It panned out well, and we've got a poor signing off our books early in the window with minimal effort without having to release him or sell him for peanuts (and before other free agents are announced). |  | |  |

We agreed the fee with them last summer based on his value then. A loan, with an obligation is to all intents and purposes is a full transfer. |  |

players often seem to be perceived as better in their absence! just feel that an option is only ever good for the buying club, whereas an obligation is more of a balanced thing (as we've seen with kipre (good for us/bad for reims) and akpom (good for ajax/bad for us) |  |
