Kibs Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Feels like a good move for Tommy this, good luck to him. Good for everyone that this has now been resolved and will be good for everyone if he’s successful. Carrick has been very well backed again…..having a striker like Latte Lath and still being able to spend on one of your rivals best strikers really shows their ambition. Fair play. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a team that creates loads of chances ( not sure if Boro are this) I can see Conway easily scoring 20 - 25 goals at this level as his finishing is excellent, he's had to feed off scraps for the last couple of years so will be interesting to see how he goes elsewhere 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangle Foot Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 2 hours ago, Davefevs said: I said his current “market” value is low because of the situation we found ourselves in, probably around the £2.5m mark, and that I hoped we might get £3.0m. That’s not what I value him at. He’s a far better player than £2.5m, that’s basically Boro exploiting the situation we put ourselves in. The club themselves didn’t value him at that low a price either…they were asking interested clubs for significantly more a few weeks ago. They’vee ended up accepting a bid far lower (assuming it goes through) than they thought. (£4.5m is very unlikely to be the transfer fee, it’s likely to be inclusive of add-ons….eg 2.5+2 or 3+1.5) edit: perhaps better if I’d worded it as “this is what I think re are resigned to getting”? I expected we’ll have a sell on clause in the deal too. Seems pretty standard these days, we’d be foolish not to, IMHO. COYR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your generalisation is just that, a generalisation. Ellis Simms reported as £8-9m I’m led to believe was £3.5m transfer fee, something like £5m in add-ons of which £3m+ was a promotion add-on.

Maybe this season would have been the season where he got 20 goals, but we’ll never know now For the type of player he is, staying at City under Manning would not have best suited his development.

I doubt it. He just does not fit his plan. Outgrown us, no that is not true, but Boro are a bigger club, and have played in the Prem, and will almost certainly end the season above us. Carrick is also building a very strong reputation, building on his coaching at `Man Utd (not the player) We get a net transfer fee of millions from an academy player, we lose a player that did not fit the head coach's plans, and we helped fund the signing of 2 forwards that do meet his needs. That's football. If we could sell an academy player for £5M plus every season we will be doing a wonderful job. This was a footballing decision for TC, not financial. There was Prem interest, but, as it seems TC knows, he is not there yet and needs another step, and that means games, and not being a Prem teams project. Looking at how Boro battered Leeds the other night, he may well be proven it was the right decision for him. In any case, I just look at it as another academy success and a multi million transfer income that helps justify the academy cost. Well done the academy, Tinnion, the coaches, and everyone who developed TC into a multi-million asset sale.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 1 minute ago, slartibartfast said: Another reason to hate ****** Bournemouth...........selfish ***** ! Yep. I remember a £50m bid mooted in January 2022 when they were under Parker at this level, Howe had just taken over at Newcastle as had the Saudis..between the two winciss, they needed to spend as Mike Ashley frankly didn't and they were in a relegation battle. Whether the £50m interest was true Idk but could be..I think we stood to gain 15% of any Profit on Disposal..£13m or was it £15m we sold him for. £5.25m or £5.55m if my recollection is accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 No I tell a lie, it was 20% of Profit..maybe we could've even kept Semenyo until Summer 2023 had a Sell-On Clause arisen but I'm possibly dreaming on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well get 20 goals for Boro, a team who his style will fit. I'm guessing that Tommy doesn't care what fans think ( I don't mean that in a bad way) but that he has confidence in his own ability, just as he would had a premier league team come in for him. A player's career is relatively short, and they know that all their potential ( playing and financial) can vanish in an instant if they suffer serious injury, so who can blame them for wanting to maximise their talent when opportunities arise - wherever they may be? Do fans somehow "punish" academy graduates in these circumstances for failing to show loyalty to the club that gave them their start in the game? How many fans have started working for a company that invests a lot in them by way of training and experience. Then, just as the company expects a return on that investment, the employee takes their new found knowledge and experience to a new employer that offers better pay and/or prospects and doesn't even have to pay a transfer fee - in these circumstances do they think they owed the first employer loyalty? You can almost guarantee that TC will get a hat trick on his debut and that he will score against us, just to further antagonise City fans who feel aggreived over this transfer saga! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the money is / has been reinvested wisely and we progress. It’s always going to be gradual if anything at all. To be fair to him, he’s conducted himself admirably on the face of it.

Don't blame him at all for wanting to join Boro, it's a step up to a bigger, better run and more ambitious club. After the way the manager who gave him his chance and brought him through here was removed from the club, if I was him I would of done exactly the same. Yes, but it's still not what him and his crappy agent envisaged would happen ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
