Alvaro close to joining Real Madrid from benfica, would I b right in saying we will get a decent chunk of change if that deal goes through?

Around £20m, which is about the amount of this summer’s installment for Cunha.
Smart business.

More incompetence from the club to let a player like that go if you ask me. Impressed in the youth team and now good enough for Real Madrid.
Good business to get the sell on, but can't help feel hard done by when you look at the current fullback options.

Chalk that one up to ETH if you needed any more evidence that he’s not the greatest judge of a player.

Why fallguy? Do you know the INS and outs of who decided that?

It’s mad but it makes PSR sense which underlines how flawed the metric is.
We have signed a £25M LB and have let go a potential £40M LB 18 months ago.
One is £5M cost per year.
One is pure revenue £6M then and whatever we get now and instant income on PSR.

Put his faith in Shaw and bought malacia. He didn't want amass either as he was too young at the time.

Kurtis
This is one I flagged and flagged on here to the usual derision. Said it was incompetent at the time.

According to his agent we could have bought him back in January but went for dorgu instead. Not sure if there’s any truth in that. Be interesting to see how he gets on at Madrid as it’s not the most forgiving environment, he’s been v good for benfica this season!

He is Spanish and wants to play in Spain. He was a real Madrid youth. He doesn't want to pay in England . right decisions and worked out very well financially.

Great business, he wasn't at the required level when he left, however he also wasnt getting too many chances.
He probably nudges Dorgu at the moment, but I still hope that Dorgu becomes an asset to the teams approach.
