I wonder how much of that £10 million we'll actually see, assuming the fee is even near that. A imagine a lot will be predicated on appearances for England, the first team and possibly European football. If we've negotiated £6m up front and then £4m of probably maybes then that's one thing, but if they're just chucking £2m at us and the rest is in hope that he goes on to be Messi then we might not have played a blinder. I guess we'll never know

Surely it would have to be reported in our accounts next year ?
If he's travelling up by car, I hope he hasn't become too attached to his hub caps.
Christ how bad is his contract with us if he has a car with hubcaps?
Its the same type of car that every other player gets when they join us... Because of that you should mainly worry about the wheels coming off rather than the hubcaps as they usually do around March / April time

Which could hopefully persuade him to sell at a more attractive price due to reducing his losses. Wishful thinking I realise.
I might be wrong but I don't think that him pocketing the money means the debt is reduced.
He pocketed the money he (charlton) paid himself (standard) for Tony Watt and that didn't effect the asking price for SL
Everytime he sells a youth product for a profit (and then another comes through - Aribo this time) will only convince Duche that long term he is onto a winner.
That's not very gentlemanly to a lady, hope she hit him with her handbag, cheeky Scouser.
Citing Russell Slade as an example of how the aging process is accelerated by being Manager of Charlton, let's see which of them looks the older in five months' time - Emma or Karl.
If we get £10m for him then I'll be pleased.......let's hope we can invest some of that cash.
Why would you be pleased? It's just another a Staprix transaction, not money to be invested back into playing staff or overall club improvements. As a fan, you have lost the chance to watch a young talent which is likely to make little difference to our transfer kitty. There's little to be pleased about whether we believe this to be a good price or not. It also adds some creedence to Roly's stated player farm model. Another bad thing for anyone who would rather Charlton were primarily concentrated on winning football matches.

There already is credence to it, they have told us this their plan. This is us now, see one of our own play for the first team the same amount of times as a season long loan if we are lucky before they are flogged. And we are expected to be thankful we are part of this grotesque version of football farming

Sadly you are correct. Lookman, Aribo & Konsa will all be sold for good money = success for the player farm model. Depressing

I'll be pleased because we won't be having our pants pulled down like the Shelvey or Jenkinson deal and only get a few mill. Obviously I'd rather keep him but that's not an option is it?

Probably a misuse of creedence on my part. It's more that it may enhance Roly's faith in the model. I was already convinced that this is a model that they are looking to pursue with us.

And being realistic, how many THIRD division teams can hold on to a player if a PL team is offering big bucks, and a massive pay rise

Except that, instead of another club every once in a while, now it's the owner/Shareholder/President all the feckin time...
We'll be lucky to see even 1 million of any transfer fees received.

I am really pleased for Lookman and I would be pleased if the reported fee, £10m, was coming our way. But its not. If the fee was 50p and Lookman got his move to a premiership club I would feel the same. The fee matters not one jot to our club its not coming to it.

In a normal world, I would definitely agree, I think it's very very difficult to hold on to a top player in a League One club if the Premier League comes calling (we'll leave the fact that we needn't be a L1 club at all). And the reported price does seem like a decent one for us (if it's true). My point is, it will likely make very little difference to our transfer activity whether we get a great price or a rubbish one. In which case, I can see why Roly would be happy as it offsets some of the vast amount of money which KM has wasted over the past three years but not why a fan would be happy because the end result is, Lookman's gone and Robinson by all accounts has only a tiny fraction of the incoming fee to spend.

Good player, but not worth 10 mil imo.
