Tanganga!

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

They will if there's more than one interested and they bid against each other!

 

[BigPaul]

We have deffo lost money on him.

No we haven’t. How many games did he play? 35?
That’s what we paid for. And that’s what we got.

Any team in the premier league can offer £1.2m, and we have to accept it. Why would there be a bidding war? Multiple teams offer £1.2m and it is then down to the player to decide where he goes, and off he goes for £1.2m.

Hang on , who said he was going ? , he may sign a long term deal with us yet , he may not want to be 3rd or 4th choice at Brentford etc , he has youth on his side, but agree that for that money most mid table premier league clubs would snap him up and probably make money off him in a couple of years, let’s hope we get a decent sell on fee stuck in there. Crama is a ready made replacement and tbh I’d probably of wanted him to start over Tanga anyway, he really impressed me even at RB . I hope Tanga stays but if he is off then I’m sure we have already factored that into our plans

 

[cold blow]

£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.

And if we did not sign him last season due to a contract clause fans would have been more triggered than they are now.

 

[cold blow]

Not sure he would sign for anyone knowing he is a cheap option that would not be getting game time, footballers want to play that was the attraction of him coming to us in the first place.

 

[Escaping Lion]

I aint convinced theres the massive q to sign him as a 1st team reqular in the premiership clubs wont pay much more a week than we are for a squad player

 

[Stowwall]

There is always the possibility that no cunt rates him as highly as we do.
I didn't think we'd have him this year.

 

[NoOneLikesMe]

Best scenario might be some prem club takes him as a cheap investment and loans him back.

 

[JF_Lion]

As has been explained already in the thread, if anyone in the premiership offers 1.2m we have to accept. Why would they ogger anymore?

 

[Kryan Bing]

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.

Another way to look at it - He was a solid part of a squad who kept us in the Championship for another year, along with all that extra TV revenue coming in.
In the greater scheme of things, he was worth the investment. Unlike the £2 million battered Mars bar we still have hanging around our necks. **

 

[HappyLion]

The release clause is so the player has the option to leave if he wants to. It does not mean he goes for that. It just means he has the option to move and the club cant stop that if its exceeded. It does not mean he will go for that amount. Remember he gets a % of the tranfer fee. So that plays a part as well. Not forgetting his agent will want their pound of flesh.

 

[Wippa]

As has been explained already in the thread, if anyone in the premiership offers 1.2m we have to accept. Why would they ogger anymore?

Exactly. Any more money will go to the player and be built in to his contract. That’s where the bidding war will be

Burnley, Leeds and Sunderland are all after Tanganga apparently. While he has been excellent for us, the news of the paltry release clause leaves a bitter taste in my mouth and it was put in his contract for a reason. I get it from a purely financial and ambition point of view but he's going to go and to be honest, it feels to me like he has used us in a way. He obviously thinks he is too good and was almost doing us a favour in signing in the first place. Let him go, move on, fuck him.

We don't know how the release clause and price was sorted out/ agreed. It could be Millwall being naive ( I dont think we are going by how young JB is running things or it could b that the agent insisted on it. It may even be because that the player wouldn't otherwise sign. It is the player and agent that hold the cards these days.

He used us and we used and benefitted greatly from him. It's got to be reciprocal. We have to accept that we're a stepping stone for talented and hungry players. It will happen more and more because its part of our strategy to be less reliant on the good will of the Berylsons. Ivanovic will move on for profit. We just have to keep finding the likes of Flemming and Ivanovich.

As usual the club are getting stick on social media. Sell him £15 million is what's being said. He's not worth that just yet. He may well be if he's ever sold from one premier club to another. He may not. You have to remember that it's just a job and like us they want the best wages that they can get. The only real loyalty in football today comes from us fans.

 

[Peckham Lion]

I think its pretty obvious that his agent has "held us to ransom" to get him to sign and little doubt that with a release fee that low Tanganga's wages (and his agents commission/cut/whatever) are going to be considerably higher than if we had,say. a £12 million release clause.
Seems like win/win all round except us if it happens.

Who's to say what price we had on the release cause. We could say any number of figures but it's the player and agent who have the final say.

 

[Peckham Lion]

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.

What loss is that?

I think we did well to get a quality player for free. Even his loan spell would have only cost us a percentage of his actual wage at Spurs.

 

[Peckham Lion]

If he moves on it wouldnt be the end of the world. We'll have some credit in the bank with some premier clubs. Cresswell, Ballard and Tango all benefitted from there time at Wall. There clubs put them in the shop window when loaning them to us. We have a replacement in Crama plus the loan route to go down if needed. We have used the loan market prudently the last few year. Rowett used it well.

 

[Kryan Bing]

As usual the club are getting stick on social media.

If I remember correctly, it was well documented leading up to the season that Neil Harris really wanted him to sign and Tanga was part of his plans. It seems to me, at that point, the club pulled out the stops and backed their manager when signing Tanga. As usual, it seems at times the club can't win whatever they do.

Most 'Wall supporters wanted him to sign and if the details of the signing were known then, probably wouldn't have given a fuck because he actually signed and we all thought the club had done well.

Whatever the outcome, good luck to Tanga, he certainly helped the club further along the road with his contributions.

 

[Edward Alistair]

IF the rumour is true and he leaves, wouldn't we be in the same position as if we had him on loan for the past season, a small loss incurred?
