Poll: Would you be happy with Rishi Sunak as a new Saints owner?

Is he related to Mara? He looks like him.

I'm hearing that we are looking to get rid of Adam Armstrong. We are linked with young, inexperienced players who have never played in the championship. Still time to see what our squad will look like, but I think I would rather have AA than some young inexperienced player from the USA. As I've said, I hope I am wrong, but inexperienced manager, inexperienced young players. The gut feeling is that this could go horribly wrong.

This lad is from Germany really as far as football experience goes.

I can see why we are interested. Looks good with his feet while being 6'4" and physically strong. A good Tall Paul replacement.

For the money, I think this might be a good move for us. I'd need to see more of him but this sounds interesting.

Could be a recipe for disaster yet again. Let's hope that Still's lack of experience will not deter him from listening to other more experienced voices.
We've already found that stubborn doesn't work.

I struggle to see that he would be our main striker, given his lack of game time.

Though that would surely be the only basis on which he would join, as he would want to be in the World Cup next summer.

I wouldn't be hugely surprised if we were being used to coax an improved contract out of Cologne here.

Stranger things have happened.

I trust Spors has a back-up plan.

Or alternatively.....

"Whhoaaahhhh
You're in the Championship now."

Or perhaps more upliftingly:

"Come on Damian Downs
You're our Damian Downs
We know you look like Sekou
But your skill is gonna shine through
We know you hate the Skates
Together we can rule the world."

Let's hope he's not a roll over lay down or blue eyed lady type of player.
And definitely not a big fat mama...

I'm guessing 8m euros (£7m) upfront.

Does anyone know how the add ons work? e.g how many games would he have to play etc.?

Add ons can work in different ways, they can be appearance based or performance based.

Appearance based might be a set number of games based on the length of the contract, so if you sign a ‘promising player’ the buying club may try to argue that the player is not the finished article or is unproven at the level they are going into so might not play a key role and therefore look to pay less. If the add on is set at let’s say +50% of games the buying Club plays and the player becomes a regular starter it would trigger an additional payment when they passed the line in the sand.

Performance related could be goals scored for a forward, or even goal involvements these days (to include assists) . So an additional payment could be triggered after a set number of goals are scored by the player in a season.

Another performance based add on could be promotion, if we go up at the end of any season within the initial contract term then an extra fee is payable.

Add ons can work for or against a club. In some cases players don’t get played by a club who would be liable to pay extra fees when they get near the threshold that triggers an additional payment, frustrating for the selling club and the player. Other times they work well and the bonus payments come through if the player turns out to be a quality find for the club who purchased him.
