Lee Collins - £50,000

A fee of £50,000 for Collins, mentioned here:

Understandable with him being out of contract at the end of the season and them being in administration.

 

Re: It will be more than that ultimately though

I don't think that's right.

I can't see us paying 50k to loan a player for 2 months, I reckon we've paid 50k to loan him now and sign him in the Summer without the need for a tribunal.

 

Re: It will be more than that ultimately though

I hope you are right because if the 50k is only for the loan we will be in effect paying about 8k a week (fee and wages).

 

Re: It will be more than that ultimately though

That's right. The 50k fee is just for now as the article says the following........

"Young added: "What we have got effectively is a payment for a loan.

"I think Micky would say Lee is worth more than the £50,000 we will get on day one."

However, Vale will also be entitled to a further fee when Collins's permanent transfer goes through at the end of the season because he is still under 24."

 

Re: It will be more than that ultimately though

I honestly can't see us paying much more.

Could be an agreement that we'd pay 100k overall and give 'em 50k now and 50k at the end of the Season but that's about it as far as I can see.

 

Re: It will be more than that ultimately though

So he could possibly perform brilliant for us throughout the rest of the season then sign for someone else in the summer who matches the fee set by tribunal?

 

That says will become a permanent transfer in the Summer.

Keith in The Star says loan with a view to a permanent deal.

Confused you bet. What happens if he gets a long term injury before end of season, is he our player or theirs?

 

Re: It will be more than that ultimately though

I really can't see us paying £50,000 just to loan a player who will only play less than two months of football. Hill has said he "didn’t want it to get to the stage where there was a bidding war at the end of the season and he got picked off." Says a lot, in my opinion.

A defender, out of contract at the end of the season, from a League Two club who happen to be in administration. If it's much more than £50,000 I'd be amazed.

 

Same price as our house

I wouldn't swap. I don't think I'd be able to fit all me stuff in Lee Collins.

 

£50k to loan a player. I thought we'd done away with expensive loan signings.

 

like

 

£50k to loan him for the rest of the year and sign him in the Summer.

But you know that.

 

But you also know that we will have to stump up some more cash in the summer , dont you?

 

Portsmouth administrator: "What we have got effectively is a payment for a loan."

We have to pay again if we wish to sign him in the summer just like if someone signs Butterfield. All we've done is paid £50k to loan him until the end of the season at which point we will pay to sign him.

 

I think you mean Port Vale admin?

 

Whats it got to do with Portsmouth ?

 

It is effectively a payment for a loan. He would've left for nothing in the Summer and gone to tribunal which wasn't guaranteed.

So they've got 50k at a time they need it for a player that would've been leaving in two months anyway.

I know we've done some **** deals in the past but there's no way:

1. A loan fee is announced in public (have you ever heard that before?)
2. We'd pay 50k for a player for 8 weeks.

 

Maybe. Possibly. But I reckon this 50k will be a part payment of say 100k and the rest paid at the end of the year.
