Amini bound for Europe

[Atomic]

The link talks of $ 350, 000 transfer fee..... fark that is cheap... hope there is a % of the next deal if that is the case...

We received* $350,000 for Jedi.

*I dont think we've seen the money yet.

350K for Amini from a Bundesliga club and the scum received 700K for James Holland from a Turkish club?

WTF....Amini has twice the potential Holland had/has/lost?

 

[cbowden9000]

Wayyyy undervalued. The only way 350k would be ok is if we have some epic sell-on clause in there.

Any recent news ... been away ...

Good article about Amini overall, expect this bit.


"The Mariners, like so many A-League clubs, are strapped for cash and are holding out for more than the €100,000 ($A135,000) it is believed Dortmund has tabled."


With an offer like that do you they really want him?

Musty will put bums on seats ... over a season IMO at least 30, 000 if not more and at an average price of say $ 20.00 or $ 600, 000... meaning we need some decent coin for him...

 

[dibo]

You think Musty alone will draw *over* 2000 per game?

The logical accompaniment is that if Musty goes, our average crowds will fall by 2000.

 

[Atomic]

Yeah, 30000 extra fans is a pretty long bow to draw, but there is some truth to the assertion that Musty adds $$$ to the marketing coffers. Had it not been for Musty, do you think we would've had the McDonalds sleeve sponsorship? I'd say no. So, there has to be some marketing value added to Musty's selling price.

 

[midfielder]

All supporting teams need play makers and they also win games .... yeah I do think Musty would put 2, 000 bums on seats per game...

 

[Roy Law]

I think that if (and it is a very big 'if') the Mariners' marketing dept gets its act together then Musti could become the sort of marquee type player that would put a lot of bums on seats; right now he is a virtual unknown outside of the hard core football fan.

??- is there news?

 

[cbowden9000]

I heard from a mate of mine in Germany that he's just signed for Dortmund. Nothing official though.

Was always going to happen, he is ambitious

That would imply that there's been an agreement between the two clubs.

BVB will probably want him to play for BVB II in the Regionalliga West while he develops because he's not ready to usurp Shinji Kagawa.

Musty has decided to stay with us!!! At least for now. We may either lose him in January or on a free next year.

Right move by the club IMO...

Right move by the club IMO...

Definitely. I'm happy with Pellegrino as a back-up to Musty so I think we've got a very balanced squad coming into this season.

 

[Muppet]

Good to hear though it does leave me slightly worried. What happens if he walks at the end of his contract on a free transfer. We get nothing out of it.

The word around is we were never gonna get plus $500k so it really isnt much of a loss losing him for free....... BUT getting a whole year of his sublime talent is much more positive!

Who knows we could possibly extend his contract this year?? he may do it out of gratitude for the opportunity given to him by GA and CCM.....please Musti
