ARTICLE: Odobert leaves for Spurs

[equinox]

For the numbers being quoted: Bite their hand off!

It's not often Daniel Levy has his pants pulled down but Pace has managed it here.

[ClaretPete001]

Maybe the thinking is reintegrate Tresor and try to get at least the money back there. Daft purchase really.

Possibly, but we are no where near £50 million net sales. According to Transfermarket we spent Eur30 million on Esteve and Tresor and another 6.5 on Hountondji and Pires.

We've sold Muric and Odobert.

I think a lot of people in the media are surprised, we've managed to maintain so much of the squad.

Long may it continue.

[Claretmisterg]

Good player and we will miss him but it’s not like in the past when we sold our star players because we have so many more talented players available to us, particularly at this level. Up the mighty clarets, come what may.

£10m for Kompany as well, was it raising to £15m , best sale of the season that one.

I make that

£43m in so far but yeah there’s the purchases to knock off

Esteve and Tresor will have already been factored in as guaranteed buys from last year.

Be a blow to the new manager this as well as the fans.

BPF 0.5
Bastien (?)

50-62.5 there. Esteve and Tresor are really in last years spend of £95-100m. Another big sale (Berge or Trafford) and we’d have brought in an almost similar amount to what was spent. We’ll see if that happens but it sounds like we’ve been holding out for large fees which suggests we aren’t exactly desperate for cash flow.

[timshorts]

I guess he's the replacement for the moody Brazilian wanted in Saudi.

A good bit of business. It seems something special to pick up a kid from ligue 2, but I'm typing this at half time at dunkirk v annecy.
The quality is pretty dreadful. From the 45 minutes that I've watched, 3 players stand out from the rest, and dunkirk 20 bardeli should not be at this level. It's reminded me of Scott Parker when younger. He's 23.
The rest would have trouble getting into Oxford utd side, but they'd feel at home there as this ground only has 2 and a bit sides...

[Guppyspotter]

It was a tongue in cheek comment. Tresor? Who would buy him off his (lack of) showing so far?

Bayern?

You might be mistaken thinking that way it's far more suggestive that the maintenance is down to most not being wanted & for a reason. We haven't really had to fend anybody off to reject bid after bid the 1s wanted have been quickly picked off without protracted negotiations. The only slow 1 (if true) is oshea where we appear to be holding out for more money if Brentford have lowballed.

[willsclarets]

Be a blow to the new manager this as well as the fans.

I think Parker will have known full well he was likely to lose a few quality players. And I think that applies to the fans too. If he was our only top attacking player I'd be worried but we've got loads of quality options. I think Amdouni, if he stays, will suprise a few this season.

Berge slipped your mind too? He’s hardly been quickly ‘picked off’ despite United’s obvious interest.

[Foshiznik]

Seems some don’t realise that Tresor is still at the club and that it isn’t beyond the realms of possibility that he has a break out season this season.

We all saw how good he was at Genk and I know I wasn’t the only one excited by the signing at the time. Anyone would think we had bought the trebor mint man instead going off the harsh criticism he’s receiving after one season where no Burnley player heaped themselves in glory.

No doubt he’d be excellent this season but I’d be shocked to see Tresor play for Burnley again. A year ago he was getting into the Belgium team and recording the most assists in Europe, he’ll have an abundance of clubs after him on loan and we’ll be forced to accept it as he doesn’t want to be here.

Where did he say he didn’t want to be here? Surely he had to sign a contract to become permanent at Burnley this summer too?

Nothings slipped my mind it's hardly concrete interest with bids emerging.

[RVclaret]

It will have all been agreed in the contract last summer.

Simplifying it

‘If you play more than 5 games then you will become a permanent Burnley player on a 3 year contract’.

He signs and that’s that. As for not wanting to be here, every single other Burnley player has returned for at least a day in pre season, he’s deleted anything Burnley related on instagram and barely played last season. I get the impression he doesn’t want to be here.

Wasn’t aware of the instagram stuff to be honest. Doesn’t sound great.

Tresor never had anything Burnley related on his instagram to start with

We’ll see if that happens but it sounds like we’ve been holding out for large fees which suggests we aren’t exactly desperate for cash flow.

Three caveats:

1. Add ons etc not included because we don't know how much or even if we will get them..!
2. Agents fees etc not included but they will definitely have been incurred.
3. Rough currency translation we all know these figures are probably only ball park (if that)

Kompany - £10 million (Independent, Burnley Express)
Odobert - £25 million (Transfermarket)
Muric - £9 million (Transfermarket)
Twine - £3 million (Bristol Live)
BPF - £0.5 million (Transfermarket)
Bastien - ?

Let's say £50 million

Less: (all Transfermarket)

Tresor - £15 million
Esteve - £10 million
Hountodji - £3 million
Pires £2 million

Let's say £30 million

Net Income £20 million

Indeed but you still have to pay for them...

The only slow 1 (if true) is oshea where we appear to be holding out for more money if Brentford have lowballed.

Indeed I think most sensible people would have expected to see more activity this summer but I don't want to conjecture at this point about why it hasn't happened....

It could be because we haven't got cash flow problems or it could be because we simply can't afford to sell them off cheap.
