Roofe sell on?

https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sp...ws/wolves-transfer-news-leeds-united-15370441

Palace and Southampton also interested

Do we know if there is a sell on fee with Roofe?

With Kemar under contract 2 more years and 3 reportedly interested clubs having an auction in January...this is potentially very good news for United.

Doubtful Leeds would let him go for less than £8m in today’s world of silly money. Any reasonable percentage for us could be lucrative for us!

That’s assuming...it will comes to us...?
 
I've heard sell on fees from 0 to 60% bandied around by people "ITK". My guess it is somewhere in between.
 
I heard when he first signed it was 25% sell on reading offered 7m for him in the summer what's he worth now? 10m in today's market.
 
I thought DE was fully paid off now. Hopefully it will come to us.
Eales (Ensco) should have been repaid £995,817 on 30 April 2018 and again on 30 September 2018. The final amount of £1,284,074 is due sometime in 2019. If any more transfer fee instalments, sell on clauses, player sales comes in in total exceeding that amount before the final payment date, then the club get to transfer it from the charged bank account. (assuming the first two instalments were paid).
 
I think Roofe will move to the premiership with Leeds, can’t rally see him wanting to go to Southampton or any other club looking like they could be relegated.
It would be nice to get a cut, but if Leeds go up I think we get one anyway
 
We would according to the Oxford Mail Twitter feed iirc.
Sell on fees are between the selling club and the team they brought the player from. WBA got their sell on fee from us when we sold to Leeds.
 
Eh?

Wallop is an Oxford fan afaik so he was talking about Oxford.

Arhhh my bad I thought u meant this oxford mail tweet

. Either way it doesn’t matter, we won’t get any money from the sale of roofe
 
That OM tweet is pretty much spot on!

How ? How do wba get a sell on, two clubs down the line ? We would never make any money?

We pay wba a small fee to buy roofe.

We sell him to Leeds wba take 30-40%

We don’t have a sell on clause with Leeds so we get nothing when they sell him for say £10m

But we then owe wba more money as a sell on ???

As he came through their Academy I think they get a small % as a part of a development fee but could be wrong.

That would surely come from Leeds though wouldn’t it? If we’re set to not make a penny, I can’t see how we would owe wba again, after already buying the player, and agreeing the sell on fee to cover his development
 
I thought the only sell on clause we had was if Leeds went up, rather than getting a percentage of a sell on. Something DE put into the deal, apparently
 
My understanding is that WBA received what they were due when we sold him. They cant pick up more money when he is sold again.
It also has been in here numerous times that we dont receive a sell on fee when he is sold again. DE took the money upfront rather than take a sell on fee (if what has constantly has been posted on here is right!)

My understanding is that the above is incorrect on both counts (!). I'm not trying to be a smarta*se but rather just sharing what I have been told previously. Hopefully we'll find out if/when Roofe is sold.
 
That we have a sell-on and that WBA would receive part of that. This is in line with the OxMail tweet comment. I'm not going to divulge %s.

Do u have any links to any other players that have commanded a second sell on fee ?

Also if it was the case that there was a sell on with roofe, don’t u think darryl would have included it in the money owed to him as he did with the others like Johnson
