If he's going, a bidding war is the best outcome for us.

And from Everton previously being the only ones on the scene, now we've got Palace interested (and Spurs possibly?).......

Spurs will offer half what Everton did knowing their shananigans lol

[S-Clarke]

Spurs will try to throw players in as part-ex, they always do.

We don't want your next gen Tommy Forecast thanks.

That was a masterstroke from Levy at the time

Spurs are not a credible option, they will never pay the money we want.

Well exactly, and that was without him playing a minute in the Prem. £50m completely reasonable expectation, so spuds probably offered £25m as usual.

Lets be honest, Dibbling didn't set the world alight last season. 

if we want 50m for fernandes, dibbling isn't anywhere near worth that.

- RWs are in high demand

- He’s english AND U21

- Super highly rated at youth level

- He was fine last year, i  a squad that struggled

I think 40-50m is comfortably reasonable

Yeah, 40-50m is the knock-down, you've been relegated price.

If we were in the Prem he'd command 70m+.

Whatever happened to the word 'very'?

[ally_uk]

Start the bids at £40 mil if they want to throw in a loan in two the other way which could allow Still to implement system fair does.

1 year left on his contract also accounts for a lot. 

You're paying for potential and nothing more at this stage. He had 6 good months and went off the boil for the other 6 last season and his g/a return was poor (probably becasue of the side he played in). 

For all his quality atributes, he's very, very one-footed and imo, pretty lazy. 

Personally, £40m+ is a very good deal for us.

Going to Spurs perceived as the fallback option for a target they lost to Arsenal... that wouldn't be the easiest environment for a young player to develop, or to win over their fans.

Just based on what the consensus is at youth levels on what he could end up being for England, I hope he ends up in a team where he's given every chance to reach that (hopefully us!)

Not trying to be an MLG style pedant but making an approach doesn't necessarily mean they've put in a bid. 

Could mean they've just contacted the club to register interest and find out what the asking price is etc, in order to weigh up whether they want to make an official bid.

Really getting confused with this now, do we have a deal ? Don’t we have a deal ?

Have they moved the goalposts ?

Are we just trying to get the deal done ?

I think the second year is an option that we can chose to implement tbf.

Yeah my bad forgot i was on the dibling thread 

[gio1saints]

I think that it’s not impossible the Krasnodar President may expect a brown envelope from Saints as part of the deal - and we apparently don’t do brown envelopes in the Club Shop. That might explain why agreement is at an impasse even though transfer fee and wages seem agreed or agreeable. This nonsense about not wanting a player to player championship level is 100% bollocks. Show him enough money and he’d sell him to the National League. 

[suewhistle]

I must admit that thought crossed my mind. I thought that about the Carillo purchase too, the other way!

[Saint_lambden]

Well we certainly know how much Tottenham have to spend on an attacking midfielder now, which should play to our advantage.

[Verbal]

Ornstein is saying Everton are near to a deal, finally

[whelk]

All done 

[Saint Matty 76]

£42m and a 20% sell-on is a really good fee for a player who basically disappeared for half a season.

I do doubt he kicks on to be that £100m player at Everton however.

[S-Clarke]

£42m fixed fee, with £6m add-ons. 20% sell on.

So pretty much what we wanted all in.

[tttdcs]

Boooooo 

[SouSaint]

Echo saying Saints stood firm on valuation but the Everton journalists are saying that we reduced our asking price significantly. 

[whelk]

Well negotiated boys

[Toadhall Saint]

Cheers lad - hopefully the money is well spent and we see you (on the losing side) next season.

There's all sorts on twitter, impossible to know what to believe really. I saw something which said £42m fixed fee, with £6m achievable add ons + 20% sell on.

There's obviously agendas at play, Everton journos wanting to say they got him for much much less, and our side making us want to believe we stood our ground. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

[Saint Matty 76]

Nah looks like Sky are actually saying £36m with £6m in easily achievable add-ons, alongside the 20% sell-on.

Seems most parties are aligned with a £42m total package.

Exactly.

I don't believe this is the best move for him, but he and his agent have made their bed now they have to lie in it. Shame he didn't stay long enough to become the player we expected and hoped he might be. Perhaps now he never will.

[Saint_clark]

Honestly pretty over the moon with that deal. Shown flashes of promise but not enough to turn that down.

That's where the benefit might be rather than add-ons.

Sky say it is a "£42m package" and "including £6m of easily achievable add ons and a 20% sell on".

Sounds more like it is £36m plus £6m. Rather than £42m plus £6m.
