The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2021/22

[Statto]

The contract extension is just the clause that was already in I assume, not a new contract.

Never mentioned an option in the announcement when we signed him

And normally they do, if there is one

[WOTM]

Zambo extended his contract before leaving. Wtf

I do love a plot twist!

[finknottle]

As I said in the other thread, no mention of an option to buy. I'm assuming it's a good loan fee plus them paying his wages for a season.

Napoli have confirmed that they have an option to purchase... https://www.sscnapoli.it/static/news/Anguissa-joins-Napoli-on-loan-23332.aspx

Fee is rumoured to be £15m

[Caedal]

That is sad. Very strange Fulham haven't announced that

But the wording is very specific, extended contract, not new contract. Compare it to the Mitro one where it is a new contract. When I've been looking at different sites I've seen that they're reporting that we had a one year extension option.

Anyway, according to Napoli there is an option to buy in there.

"La SSC Napoli comunica di aver acquisito dal Fulham FC le prestazioni sportive di Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa con la formula del prestito con diritto di riscatto"

Which through a google translate becomes:

"SSC Napoli announces that it has acquired Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa's sports performances from Fulham FC with the formula of the loan with the right of redemption"

To be honest, this is a much much better solution in all ways, regardless of what happens at the end.

The club's had a blinder here I reckon

Would rather it was an obligation to buy not an option but at least we save his high wages and we may possibly get to recoup £15m of his fee. Good luck to him, shame it hasn't worked out at Fulham. We move on.

Hmm, interesting. Hope that doesn't mean that Tosin is on the move ?

Solid player. Unfortunately it seems he will be joining a Greuther Furth on loan.

[LRCN]

we would have stipulated that anguissa would have to sign an extension if he wanted this move to protect his value if Napoli don't buy; in this instance, now he has two years left after his loan move, and not one which would depress any possible transfer fee we could get. In this case, his value to us as a salable asset is maintained. clever move.

Absolutely and we amortise another year of his fee reducing our FFP liability.

Indeed. But for the Club to take up the extension now suggests to me we are 'on the wire' with FFP and need the extra £1.67M to help to fund today's business.

Me too but he is more than capable

Not sure any of that implies we had an option to extend, just that he's agreed to extend on the same terms, whereas Mitro probably got the usual pay rise we have to give him so he doesn't leave

Kraft played 8 times for Sweden this year so can't be that bad. And if he is bad for Newcastle in the PL he may be better in the Championship

I don't think he's a bad player at all, but he's not at all similar to Kenny. He's not particularly quick and doesn't seem to get forward to cross the ball much (4 assists in 4 years). He is more like a CB playing out wide than the other way around IMO.

And Odoi does all that perfectly well so not an upgrade.

[Karlos]

Would love us to go after Maitland Niles, could do a job at RB whilst Tete is out and compete for a place in CM too

[tonywildman]

I don't think anything will happen now, it's far to late to get anything across the line unless it's a loan
