| Fee szmodics on 17:32 - Jul 31 with 1706 views | burnbudgiesburn | Depends if they are paying a loan fee on top of a share of wages. We'll probably get £3m all told. Which is not unreasonable for what will be a 32 year old at the point the obligation is triggered. One to get done and move on from, was never purchased as a player trading example at 29 to begin with. Unlucky to get the injury in the PL season, might have ended up with more than 4 PL goals. |  | |  |

As we know from our own loans, there are often conditions even in obligations to buy that make me think we won’t be getting anything. I doubt he’ll score a lot or play all the time. Hopefully though. |  | |  |

No loan fee, they're paying a proportion of paying wages. Two obligation figures, one if they win promotion, one otherwise. |  | |  |

£2.7m if they don't go up, £5.4m if they do. I'm sure you'll all join me in singing, 'Come on the Rams!'. |  | |  |

What if they go down? Does an "obligation to buy" mean that he has already signed the contract with Derby which starts next season? |  |

Those are decent numbers given we've made clear under 2 different managers that we don't want him here, and he's going to be getting on a bit by the time the fee is payable. Hoping very much that the £2.7m is unconditional (i.e. there is an absolute obligation to buy, regardless of personal milestones/team performance etc), but I fear that's wishful thinking. We may be on the wrong end of an Al Hamadi deal, but they've got us over a barrel, it seems to me. |  | |  |

The 2.7m obligation and a season loan is clearly geared to avoid us showing a loss on him and affecting this season’s transfer budget. As you say decent enough numbers all things considered. L |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads
