Ashton Fete Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 So brave step here by me as I may end up looking silly…..his contract is up in January, they’re going to loan him to us until then but we have an agreement to buy albeit his value is £0 then as he’s out of contract unless a compensation fee is obligatory So I’m guessing they are wanting a loan fee, his wages paid and then an additional compensation fee in Jan so overall they get slightly more money than if we paid a fixed fee now, is that it??

Nor me, but suspect like Max Bird, if you let him go on the open-market, the competition grows. Same with Stokes. I suspect any fee won’t be much in the grand scheme of things…as we’d have to pay “FIFA compo” and both clubs are cat2. My guess, somewhere between £100-200k??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeNorthRonaldsay Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 For those interested he played okay first half, looks a bit worried about getting injured, which is probably fair enough. Got the assist but was just a simple backwards pass, nothing flashy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varrei Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) Some flashes of the player he might be. Early in the game was tending to drift inside quite alot looking to get the ball in central areas and not really getting it, with the pitch being too congested cwntrally. Sometimes was unavailable for the outlet outside which the team needed from him, not providing enough width. One pass from the LB into the space he should have been in got the message across and he mixed it up much more as the half went on and found himself with the ball out wide more often, providing a few dangerous crosses but not necessarily beating his man. Out of posession shown a willingness to chase and made one nice recovery to win the ball high up the pitch, the opposition hasn't threatened down his side too much so hasn't had to do too much tracking back but looked willing to do so when he had to. Off the ball he has made some nice runs in behind to create space for others, which is encouraging and generally mixed up his play, coming short, bursting in behind. But his team are tending to play the sensible pass to keep possession, and did receive the ball more as the half wore on. Couple of sloppy touches where he was thinking about beating the man before having the ball under control. And a fantasy football style 'assist' where you play a short pass to someone and they beat a man and score. Interesting that when he first got the ball at the beginning the crowd really cheered like they expected him to do something with it/presumably knowing he is leaving.

petehinton Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 As a gauge of a club/teams popularity, social numbers about them are pretty solid. That official club tweet of today being his last game, has 1.4K RTs and 6.2k likes. As reference, Kalas’ permanent signing announcement video, dubbed as the “greatest piece” of media the club has ever release, did 897 RTs and 3.2k likes…..

Johnny Musicworks Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 So is Yu coming to Ashton Gate to sign tomorrow as suggested and then going to Portugal or with most of the medical staff (and media team) possibly out there too is it more likely all going to be done at the training camp. Maybe Tinnions early exit was to meet and greet there ahead of the teams arrival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I stated originally it was supposed to be finalised Friday but the process is complex so have patience The lad may not even be in the country yet. I very much doubt if he would do the whole farewell thing at his club if it wasn't all agreed prior to him travelling to the UK. As this appears to be a loan at first then that's a very simple process once agreed with his club. Maybe there is some truth in the permanent transfer not being 100% agreed. Any deal for any player is not completed until a medical is completed and as he may not even be in the country and only played yesterday then its fair to see he's probably not had a medical yet. I think if I was to look at the fact he played in Japan yesterday and then factored in the travelling and having a medical etc then I'd probably be able to come to the conclusion that Tuesday would probably be the day it gets announced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
