Its a conspiracy.The C.I.A. Have given Tan money to accept lower bids from clubs owned by communist and muslim owners.This will force Malky to keep his mouth shut about information he gained from Dai Hunt about the moon landings being faked, with all the film footage being shot at Dowlais top tip.There is also evidence to suggest that Aldi is being backed by former german Nazi officers who intend to make up for not invading Britain in 1940 by making all uk supermarkets bankrupt.

He will make a profit on someone eventually. But his overall transactions I think he will make a pretty big loss unfortunately.

With respect, i don't think any of them were signed with the assumption we would (a) be relegated, and (b) be out to make a profit :?

surely, they were all bought (rather unsuccessfully) to "do the job" of keepinf City in the Premier League?? ;)

What was the price the club paid for Campbell ?

Usually quoted as £600k - although I think it was officially 'undisclosed' so everyone is making a guess based on press speculation and leaks that my be wrong.

On the same basis the 'buy out' fee that Palace have met has been quoted in different press articles and messageboard exclusives as either £600k, £800k or £1m

So probably Cardiff City FC have at worst broken even on the sale of Campbell.

The same applies to Caulker who was allegedly bought for £8m and sold for either £8m or £8.5m - depending on who you chose to believe.

Cornelius was a disaster.

Medel will probably be sold at a loss - but who really know what the club actually paid and who will really know what they get for him. Figures quoted in the press (especially the Italian sources) are all over the place and don't give any idea of basic fee + agent fee + signing on fee + multiple add ons, and often not clear if we are talking sterling or euros.

I always thought that signing players was primarily to improve the squad & not to make money on them. The players signed certainly did that.

Of course, Some of them were questionable about their transfer value, but that's to be expected when a club is known to be wealthy and when the owner openly tells anyone who will listen how much he's willing to spend on transfers.

So if it's at worst broke even then it's more likely a profit so this thread is bollox then

Improved some parts of the squad. Some parts where we needed strengthening were left untouched.

This thread is in response to a post by Tonteg where he said we would make a profit on most of Malky's signings which quite clearly we will not.

We won't even break even on most. Campbell's release clause is the price we paid for him apparently.

The release clause is £800k but the figure quoted in the media is a £900k deal so a £100k profit

They won't pay more than the release clause why would they?

Re: No profit on any Malky signings yet.

Thu Jul 24, 2014 7:46 am

Why not ? Even arsenal offered to pay £1 more than the release clause regarding Suarez last season so technically had that been accepted then it's still paying more than the clause figure itself

Suarez's release clause was that he could talk to anyone who bud MORE than 40 million. Campbell's is 800k.

If a house was on the market for 150k would you pay 155k?

If you are in a race with another buyer then yes. In this case more than one club were interested on Campbell and it's still up to the club on who they prefer to do business with whether there's a release clause involved or not

Not true though. Once the release clause is triggered , it is up to the player which club he chooses to join and the club can`t stop him. So the successful bidder will be the club that offers the player the best personal terms.
