Matthew Le God Posted 4 July, 2013 Share Posted 4 July, 2013 (edited) 12m euros, are you sure? The Lyon website said this... "L’Olympique Lyonnais informe du transfert de l’international croate Dejan Lovren au club anglais de Southampton pour un montant de 10 M€ dont un maximum de 2 M€ d’incentives, réalisant ainsi une plus-value significative sur le deuxième semestre 2012/2013." My French isn't any good, but isn't that €10m plus €2m of extras probably depending on appearances etc? So upto €12m in total potentially.

That says his joined for 10m euros maximum with 2m of the fee made up from incentives, Lyon were resilient in negotiating this significant transfer fee. The fee was 10m euros. HTH. mr wrong.

Matthew Le God Posted 4 July, 2013 Share Posted 4 July, 2013 Are you 100% sure that says the €2m is included within the €10m and not on top of it? I don't know as only have poor website translations to rely on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know as only have poor website translations to rely on. 100% sure. I speak French mate. All other reports said that the fee was £6.8-£8.5m. Which confirms this as some would have included the add ones in the total fee, others not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 4 July, 2013 Share Posted 4 July, 2013 In any case at €10m it is still a significant signing and I was responding to this question... What significant signings have we made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyboy Posted 4 July, 2013 Share Posted 4 July, 2013 In any case at €10m it is still a significant signing and I was responding to this question... But is it really "flexing our financial muscle?" After all the hype, if this ends up being our biggest spend this summer, there will be a lot of disappointed mini-alpines on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted 26 November, 2021 Share Posted 26 November, 2021 How does one even get a job like his? Do you start off by making some dead cert claims on Twitter and then gain a reputation once they all come off, get a cushty job at a lowly reputable radio station and then just throw a load shit, some sticks, the others, well it was all the source’s fault! I bet he’s on a fair wedge to, to create a few false rumours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southamptonsi Posted 27 November, 2021 Share Posted 27 November, 2021 Talksport have the tackiest of journalists and pundits on their station. The only qualification you need to work there, is to be able to promote the station by saying ‘exclusively on talksport’ every 5 mins. if they get a story right they will say ‘we broke the story first.’ if they get a story wrong ‘the source had informed us.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 29 November, 2021 Share Posted 29 November, 2021 It's Talksport, it's no surprise. That radio station is the radio equivalent of the daily star transfer gossip. Rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Keef Posted 29 November, 2021 Share Posted 29 November, 2021 The Infinite Monkey Theorem. This states something like....if you give 100 monkeys (Chimps) 1000 typewriters over an infinite amount of time, to hit the keys randomly there is a reasonable probability that sooner or later one of them will write the complete works of William Shakespeare. I don't "indulge" in Talksport and have no idea who this Crook fella is, but based upon the posts above this might be one of his efforts....

Crook and Factless Allen. If that's not a badge of honour I don't know what is. Exactly the same as me. Allen didn’t want a fair debate when it came to me questioning him on Portsmouth’s finances ten years ago. Crook was about four months ago for bringing up Ings imminent contract renewal after he signed for Aston Villa. Bellends. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
