It just came up on my twitter timeline, but apparently on this day last year, Ahadme scored two goals against us at home to bring Cambridge level in a 2-2 draw after we were 2 up so for 870k, all we have to show for is 1 league goal, an own goal, 3 in the cup and 2 against us last year to deny us 3pts - Brilliant
The number of different transfer fees that have been quoted for Ahadme is amazing!
FWIW I doubt we paid anything like £870k upfront and it’s a much lower fee with significant add ons (which will likely never be realised because he and we are rubbish).
Have it on good authority that we actually only paid £35k up front for Ahadme, but £14.6m is payable upon him scoring his second league goal for the club. That's why he's dutifully avoiding putting the club into administration up to this point by not scoring in the league again but is tearing it up in the cup. The club also briefly experimented with him scoring an own goal to see if it reset the goal counter on the payment requirements but the club's contract lawyer had a look and informed the club that that strategy was 'fucking stupid'.
