There are add ons for the Kemar Roofe transfer (international call up, promotion, and I think after playing a certain number of games) but there is no sell on clause. Told that at the start of this season by someone who would know. Our best option would be for Leeds to go up this year.
As far as the Darryl Eales charge goes, that is capped at a certain level based on the stage payments of the original transfer. It's all on public record.
A 25% sell-on clause would've come at a price though, probably a much reduced initial transfer fee.Given this has come from you Colin, I suspect it is correct. If so, then that's a poor deal. Part of the OUFC business model should be to hope that one of the young starlets goes onto greater things and that we receive a % of the sell-on. With football transfer fees ever-increasing and this being where the real money is, then a 25% sell-on could be massive for clubs like ours. 25% of say £15m would be most welcome.
Can Oxvox folk who read this thread please ask this question of the club?

And to call it a poor deal assumes Roofe is sold. What if Leeds get promoted and he stays there clocking up more and more appearances.
Under those circumstances the deal starts to look pretty good and any sell-on clause would be worth 25% of f**k-all.

A few million? We sold him for that.Thanks Colin.
Not surprised DE took the more money in the short term option. Shame because sooner or later I reckon Leeds will be getting a decent transfer fee for him whatever their situation.
1) If they don’t go up, a premiership could come in for him.
2) If they go up sooner or later he’ll move to another premier league team, or a big hitting hitting champ team if he doesn’t cut it.
Just can’t see him staying at Leeds forever, or Leeds letting his contract run down so he leaves on a free. Think a relatively safe bet is that he’ll eventually move on for at least a few million.
IF he is sold in January then it'll be more then that. Premier league teams will pay over the odds for a goalscorer to try and keep them up. I reckon we'd be looking at 10-12 million in January.A few million? We sold him for that.
It'll be 7 or 8 at least.

I agree the general point, but Leeds are 3 points clear heading into the New Year and on course for a £100m+ PL bonanza. Clubs in that position don't sell their top scorer in January. If they get there, Roofe will be at one of the biggest clubs in the PL outside of the top 6 - the attraction of Burnley, Southampton, Brighton etc will soon fade.The chances of a footballer staying at one club for a number of seasons these days is very low, especially if said footballer is performing to a standard whereby he would attract interest from others.

I said very low not impossible. I’ll see your Simon Eastwood and raise you Ledson, Lundstram, Roofe, Johnson, Kane and soon....Nelson.
Well I seem to remember that there were doubts raised about Mackie's fitness at the time for one!
If you exclude the last 2 games we have been scoring quite a few and Whyte Henry and Browne have all scored a few.And his goal scoring record!
