Nice, that's welcome news.

Even £100k seems pretty good with a sell on clause.

[Clyde1998]

A point - The £350K compensation fee for Mbengue has not been confirmed by either club.

To say that the fee is less than the 'offer' of £500K last summer and that Reading lost out is just untrue.

The club got a fee and a sell-on fee for a transfer they expected nothing from - also... depending on the sell-on percentage, Reading could make more money than the original offer if Mbengue continues on his upward trajectory and picks up PL or European football.

#readingfc

We were required to get some fee from Mbengue leaving, due to us offering him a contract of an equal or higher amount to what he was on and him being younger than twenty-four. The clubs couldn't agree on a fee, which is why it went to a tribunal.

Perhaps we were offered £500k and no sell-on in the summer and we've got £350k plus 20% instead. Having the sell-on fee is going to be better for us in the long term.

Think he’s been out of the game since being released by Rotherham a couple of years ago.

Femi Azeez looking outstanding as he helps Millwall move into the promotion places at Boro.

Anyone know if we have a sell-on clause for him, because I can see him moving to a bigger club even if the 'Wall do go up?

Think Brouge’s said we have a 20% clause.

Elsewhere, Knibbs is back on Charlton’s bench after injury.

He looked really good. Top player now

[stealthpapes]

Think we under-estimate how good he was 2023-24. Some bangers at key moments.

Can’t check for sure, as the search facility on here has been unfortunately reduced, but don’t recall seeing it reported on this thread that Ken Price sadly passed away on 28 November 2025 at the age of 71. RIP Ken

Arrived from Gillingham on a free in Jan 1983 and stayed for a couple of seasons seasons before moving onto Basingstoke in June 85. Scored 8 goals in 44(3) apps.

Was watching a build up program for Ateleti v Barça yesterday and whose fizzog should appear …. Velkro Paunovic

Couldn’t get the ball to stick

Yeah he was very good. Another one who the Twitter mob decided to turn against for some reason.

That was the year of the goal of the season competition between him and Wing wasn't it, where it felt like every other goal was a contender. Plus Kelvin chipping in a few too...

He had a spell where, if he took a touch, it was pretty poor.
Low confidence, inexperienced player in a struggling team.

He played in the Reading Sunday league for a bit, I can't remember who for unfortunately

Obviously this is hardly news but bloody hell what a player Olise has become - watching him tear Real Madrid apart last night an absolute pleasure to watch. He is amazing

Still slightly surreal that we watched him here for a couple of years.

Totally agree Hound. Must have read my mind mate. What a performance from Olise. And as for Harold Kane....the bloke is class, pure class. Was saying to a mate this morning that he doesn't run around much but boy when the ball arrives at his feet, he is something else.

Couhig is probably praying daily that Olise moves on-the sell-on fee could cover our costs for a whole season.

Just great to watch and those of us who told fans of other clubs how good he was can feel redeemed.
He glides across the pitch in much the same way as one of my favourite ever players, Luis Figo.

We'd have to receive circa £15m - £20m to cover a whole season. We'd need, like, 10% of the whole fee, rather than a cut Palace's cut of the fee. More likely to be £1m - £3m I thought.... certainly very handy tho.

[Winston Biscuit]

Yeah its not the same total % that clubs receive after each sale. Its the agreed % of the other clubs %, meaning it is usually much less as each sale goes

[Sutekh]

Really? We would still get a payment if he transfers again?

Every international transfer during his career, I just used Google AI because I'm lazy but it says 5% of the overall transfer goes to clubs who trained him from his 12th to 23rd birthday, 5% of that 5% from the 12th to 15th birthday and 10% from that 5% for the 16th to 23rd birthday

So from my understanding, he joined us when he was 15 then left when he was 20, I don't know the exact calculations but I worked this out to about £4m on a £200m transfer fee.

There's also the chain of sell on fees to consider, which I only found out about from the Price is Football.

If I understand correctly, a player who had a 20% sell on clause when transferring from Club A to Club B and a 20% sell on when transferring from Club B to Club C would still see Club A receive a fee when that player transfers from Club C to Club D (20% of the 20%). This chain only gets broken once a player lets their contract expire or a transfer doesn't include a sell on fee.

It's based on profits, so a £200m fee would be a £150m profit for Bayern. If Palace have a 20% sell on fee, they'd get £30m from Bayern. If we had a 20% sell on fee from his transfer to Palace (IIRC, we did), we'd get £6m from Palace.

Depends on what's specifically written into transfer contracts mind.

That about sums it up I believe.
