Transfer Add Ons ....... so why not Add Offs?

[Milk]

Now that it is commonplace that a lot of the transfers to include a number of add-ons to get to where a selling club wants the final price to be e.g. Lukaku £75m up front with a further £20m to come in add-ons when various targets are reached, it got me thinking that perhaps there is space for "Add-offs" where the buying club can get money back if the player turns out to be a turkey! Our Oumar spring immediately to mind

Thoughts????

Milk you on the turps this early? Really?

We certainly got ADD OFF when we paid 13m for Niasse.

It would make transfers a lot more interesting ........
Anyway, in these days of mega money transfers, i see nothing wrong with Swansea giving us back £5m if Gylfi doesnt score 5 goals this season plus another £2m if there are less than 10 assists.

Twas just a thought ... bit like a money back guarantee

Surely you would just sign them for less and have even more add ons?

Not a bad idea, but why not just take them on sale or return ?

it's just semantics. we could have announced the Sig fee as 45m with a rebate of 5m if he doesn't reach his stipulated targets. Wouldn't make any difference really.

Surely it would be 'subtract offs'.
