calscot 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 It looks like Ricksen will be fully transferred to Zenit in January. The question is - how big will the fee be? The rule of thumb is usually the players weekly wages multiplied by the number of weeks left on his contract. So if Ricksen is on about 25K a week and his contract expires in June 2009, I make his fee over £3M... I don't think we'll get that but it's a good starting point for the bargaining. A couple of million would be cool... If we could sell Buffel as well for a million odd, add to the couple of million left in the transfer kitty and a couple of million more from the UEFA income, that could give us a war chest of about 6 or 7 million in January! Just dreaming... Edited to correct when his contract expires. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feriens_Tego 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 We'll settle for a Million i'm sure. High earner off our books and a Million to plough back into buying Brown and a decent centre back hopefully. That should keep the liar Murray happy,means he'll only have to release another million for Le Guen to shop in Matalan with. Great times ahead...Beware of Moonbeams. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmck 117 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 i think we should get at least 1.5 for him. he's a more rounded player than sebo, surely. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's circumstances that will matter here,not how good a player A,B or C is i think.. They know we want rid of him...They know he wants to stay with them...They can walk away if we talk funny money,and are left with a problem player no one in Europe seems interested in,that's why i reckon we'll accept a million so as to alleviate any unecessary haggling over him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmidd 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 the fee will only be around 750,000 to a million I reckon. The massive bonus will be getting his wages off the current wage bill 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right and it's debatable whether the fact it's DA who's buying will increase or decrease the fee. Souness liked to give us top dollar but PLG paid bugger all for Clement... Considering his wages and length of contract, 1M is a bargain but he's a player that it will be relief to get off the books. Now who can we palm off with Buffel. He can be a great player but he's not great at the moment and he's someone we should be able to get some money for - a million anyway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
