Deal for Washington close

[qpr4life]

Don't suppose Hartlepool fans are bothered either

Reading FC actually might be.

Man City have got the right hump about it and Steve's not renewing either

Why are Gillingham bothered?

clearly they're not according to SpongParr

[knocker]

Gills fans arent even that bothered about Washington leaving. It is a lot of money for someone having a purple patch. Time will tell, hopefully the gamble pays off.

Gills fans?

Of course Gillingham aren't bothered because it's Peterborough's player....

Perhaps Peterboro fans are though

Not really what they're saying from what I've heard. More like they only got him for 100k and they knew he'd be off given his talent so they aren't too bothered. Nothing to do with a purple patch.

Hah! So true, the way when it comes to transfer fees fans seem to think it is just Monopoly money. Yet the club puts 10 quid on the price of tickets and suddenly its civil war...

Potentially selling 3 players (Austin, Fer and Phillips) for £12m and bringing in Gayle on a permanent and Bamford on loan and still having around £5m spare change, whilst saving a fortune on wages is a good monopoly move don't you think?

Or sell Charlie for £4m and buy Washington for £2.5-3.5m?

Plus I said I'd prefer Gayle and Bamford rather than Washington and Bamford as for the extra £3m it's a far better deal all round for the club as we'll have got rid of 3 players who are on decent money and don't want to play for us while bringing in two quality goalscorers and having a fair few quid left over.

[Brian Wilson]

Its a bit crazy how his value has gone up by 2/3 mil in the space of a year or so at league 1 level. Its a pity we seem to have no system in place to spot these players earlier.

[Mattyqpr]

Talksport were reporting the deal as £2.5m?

Barry Fry said last night it's more than that mate. Maybe it's £2.5m up front plus addons.

It depends what the addons are though, some are unrealistic but just bumps up the deal.

[stainrodisalegend]

Yea just a mere £3m. Pennies.

We have to sell players first as you know. Who'll take the crap we've got? Can't see anyone bashing down the doors to get to them.
