Tanganga!

I would guess it was out of millwalls hands about the size of the release clause when he signed it would if been thrashed out with his agents ect , in my head it's still a good deal for everybody it was like a season long loan and we get get 1,2m goodbye gift. Obviously in a ideal world release clause would of been 10m but I'm guessing he wouldn't of signed for us if we insisted on that
 
£1.2m is the release clause, if we get bids it doesn't mean they won't be higher, especially if more than one enters the fray..
From his perspective the greater the bid the more he earns as a percentage of any deal, though I accept a team could just throw bigger wages at him to compensate...
 
£1.2m for the "best Cb" in the league is a piss take regardless how "deluded" fans are for the price we thought/wanted for him.

Everyone saying that we had a top player, for the year. Yet we achieved nothing in the league and made a financial loss on him at the end of it all.

Great, that - Move on, I agree, but fans are right to be triggered by this.
 
Seems ridiculously low. You would think that PL clubs would be queuing up to sign him at that price.

They can offer him a 3-year deal @, say, 50k/week. That's+/-£7.5m + £1.2m transfer fee and you have a proven 26-year old defender with PL experience for <£10m outlay. You can't get an academy player for much less than that! Even if he can't cut again in the PL, the buying club won't have lost much.

However, as Lincslion says 'Better to have loved and lost, etc'

It's still early days of the transfer window, and as you probably know, it is actually two windows with a short break in-between. That's because of the Club World Cup. I doubt much will get done first window by teams not competing in the CWC, because it's only open for ten days:

Summer transfer window 2025 dates: When does it open and close? Deadline Day and Club World Cup window for Premier League

The Premier League transfer window will open early between Sunday June 1 and Tuesday June 10 due to an exceptional registration period for the expanded Club World Cup; it will then open again on Monday June 16 until Deadline Day on Monday September 1; both summer windows will close at 7pm

No club is going to offer more than the release fee.

Let’s have it right, most of us were pretty dumbfounded when he signed for us.
None of us expected it. It’s making a bit more sense now. Sure, I’d have liked a lot more for him but if a high release clause fee meant he didn’t sign then you can see why the club suffered it.

If he goes he goes. As people have said, we have a ready made replacement in Camra, who I believe is a class act. We would have got a big chunk of the wages back that we paid Tangagnaga. He’ll move on to the level he probably deserves and there’s nothing lost.

It would have been nice if the release clause fee was £2 million. That would have covered his wages if £35k a week is correct!!
 
This information has been fed into the press now, so that if he's going it happens quickly.
I would expect some Premier club will take a punt on him for that price. If he's not gone by pre season training, I would expect the club to offer him new terms, probably the best in our history, in an attempt to keep him.

He's supposedly on £35k a week - 52 weeks in a year X's £35k = £1,820,000 PA (Purely wages, not including any bonuses, agent fees etc).

Even if he was on £23k a week, that would equal the £1.2m buyout clause PA. He's definitely on more than that, on top of everything else.

We have deffo lost money on him.
