petcharlie Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 How things changed and so quickly in football.In less than a year David Brookes valuation has gone from 12 million to over 40million .I always said we should have got at least 15 million for him but I was cried down by some saying he was not worth anywhere near that.Now after less than 10 months it is reported clubs are lining up to offer more than 40 mill for him.I hope we have a good sell on clause in his contract.

Ridgewalk Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hope so as well. He's not been missed though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyedges Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I think it was a good idea to sell him to a club like Bournemouth. They are a good Premier league club but would never be seen as one of the big boys. I hope we could see that joining Bournemouth Brooks had not hit his ceiling potential wise. We should benefit from a healthy sell on clause similar to Maguire and Walker. Now Chris Wilder getting any extra funds - well that's a different question.

woodview Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 In fairness the other offers for over £12m weren't there though. From what I've seen of him at Bournmouth, he has some lovely spells, then seems to wander a bit aimlessly. Hopefully the sell-on fee is good, it will help us get some decent signings in the Prem next season.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidy return on a player who was only going to go on to play at a higher level at some point. £24m profit from a player that we picked up as an outcast from a premier league club. Cost us nothing but development and made us the money to challenge in this league. Happy days! Suppose we have to sit back now and wait for the "you would be nothing without the Brooks money" jibes..... Is there any room left for another Hotel not car park.

Nobody on here knows what the percentage is and it's a percentage of the profit, not the sell on fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
