ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3


Over £15m mate.

They bought him for £7.25m.
Bought at 24. Now 27.
Played some league 2 sides in the cups and played 5 mins here and there in sewn up league games.
4 goals in 30.
Sold for over £15m. More than doubled their money on an abject failure.

It's a bit more complex though.

When buying from Leipzig, normally fees to agent, player etc is normally substantial (easily be 5m+). So the fee is likely to be closer to 15m.

Paid him 60k basic, but he will be priced in on the squad bonuses, so again over those 3 years probably 20m in wages.

If the 17m they've got. Will be a 10% sell on for RB so that's down to 15m. 10% to player for loyalty payment, so thats down to 13m. Probably paying the agent 20% as well, so take another 3m off.

The payment will largely be incentivised as well, so seeing next to nothing up front after the fees are paid out. Doesnt make a great headline though.
 
Of all the guff that is on that post the biggest is the hashtag at the bottom '#Liverpoolarethebest'.

It is like something that a 6 year old ends an argument with, no we are the bestest in al the world [cries while running home to his mum and telling her that all the kids are being mean and saying nasty things about Liverpool].
They definitely are living in the happy world of Haribo

The concept is good, but I don't think you can claim they are paying the agent fees for both buying and selling
