Dave Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Maidenhead will feel like they've won the lottery with there 20% sell on clause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 £40m for Kilman is crazy. A seven year contract for a 27 year old is also crazy. He's a solid player but Wolves have definitely got the better end of this deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 A seven year deal is complete madness, and the price isn’t far behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Great news for Maidenhead. It sounds like they've had to reduce their sell on clause to get the deal over the line, and it will be paid in installments, but invested correctly this should be transformational for the club. Great deal for Wolves. They could reinvest half that money in a left footed defender like Jacob Grieves and people will be having a debate over whose the better defender in two or so years time. Great deal for the player. He gets to move closer to home, plays for a big club with big ambitions at a big stadium, and doesn't have to worry about his next move or finances until he hits retirement age. The only people this deal doesn't feel great for is West Ham. Albeit they're probably not thinking about the fee and think this is a way of ensuring they hit their English quota in a position that's historically been difficult to recruit in for the foreseeable future regardless of where the club fluctuates in the English pyramid. If he makes over 200 appearances and he's fairly consistent, they're probably not going to be about this fee in 2031. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted July 6 Author Administrator Share Posted July 6 I thought those very long contracts were stopped by PL after what Chelsea did last summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 1 hour ago, Stan said: I thought those very long contracts were stopped by PL after what Chelsea did last summer. Only the amortisation aspect of it is stopped. So West Ham have to spread the cost over 5 years as opposed to 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
