I cant beleive some of the posters on here saying "we should just pay up" etc. Yes of course we should just pay up to any club that says we owe them money, whether we do or not.
My take is Utrecht are trying it on - they have nothing to lose so why not chnace it. |
"They" are trying it on?
Really? |  |

There are really not many alternatives here. Either the Swans have pulled a swifty or they haven't. If they haven't then Utrecht's complaint is without merit and they're chancing their arm. |  |

I'm well aware of what market vaue is.
I'm well aware and have stated it's ridiculous to use a nominal market value.
What I stated would be the approach used to *determine* an "appropriate" market value. After all, how could any organisaton expect a massive bid from teams, huh?
Which feeds back into the original post about Vorm; Utrecht feel they have a market value for him want cash.... |
OK, I'm with you now.
Clearly the confusion has arisen due to you use of the term 'market price' when what you in fact meant was 'Reddy's Proprietary Market Price'**
** adjusted for market prices Reddy doesn't like.
Sorry to say I am not entirely convinced your innovative definition will catch on, but good luck with it anyway.  |  |

Exactly.
What's depressing (but not surprising given our current fanbase) is how many have already decided we've pulled a fast one and how damaging that is to us.
Waiting for the facts from FIFA is obviously not an option for some people. [Post edited 12 Aug 2014 15:20]

Aye, the assumptions going on are a bit weird. The whole mud sticks argument is equally baffling. If a third party goes around spouting nonsense, it's not really the club's fault. | |

Whilst I agree there is also a saying that there is no smoke without fire. Even if this comes to nothing there will be a smell of it may have been legal but sharp practice hanging over us. | | | |

It's clear to see that we've hidden the real cost of Vorm in the transfer "deal" as a whole.
Firstly, Is there anyone of any sane mind thinking otherwise?
Good, so.....
The poor Utrecht chairman and their fans have no doubt been following Vorm's progress since we basically mugged them off for £1.5m (good business) He has been first choice Premier League player for us when fit.
Now....
If Spurs hadn't wanted Vorm do any of you really think we would have sold him for nothing?
How many of you would be up in arms about that?
Most people would have been looking for anywhere between £2m and £5m. Without a doubt.
Utrecht also understand the same.
We camouflaged his price to stitch up a fellow club - a club who are not one of the rich super-powers of world football. A club, in that respect, like ourselves.
Nothing illegal has gone on - just a proper shafting and bad practice.
We have got form for things like this in the past.
Pay up the money and issue an apology. | |

There's also innocent until proven guilty. Unless we're saying there's no such thing as a truly innocent party, which I have to say is bollox. | |

How much money should we pay up?
What form do we have in this regard?
How is it clear to see that the cost of his transfer has been hidden?
We don't know the details of this deal at all. Unless that becomes public knowledge, it's all pure speculation.
On a similar line, I'd have valued Davies at somewhere north of £15m. Others had him less than £10m. The market was seeing similar or inferior players going for even more. It seems clear we sold him nearer the latter price. Who's right?
It's the assumption that there must be something fishy going on here I don't get. | |

If we've followed the rules, then I fail to understand how any supporter of the club could want us to hand over a substantial amount of money when we don't have to.
Especially when those same supporters want money spent on the squad, expanding the stadium, lowering ticket prices, etc... | |

Well that I can understand. I always think we should act honourably where at all possible. Not a soft touch of course, but if Utrecht are due then we should pay them.
It's the whole Utrecht being due thing that isn't clear at all. | |

Just an honest answer please.... No fluff, just hit me straight up.
The scenario:
QPR are in for a keeper; they choose Vorm, the haggle begins. The PS forum has a thread with differing opinions on his value.
What would you have said? | |

That example isn't comparable because in real life no one wanted Vorm. Not even us. Which is where the problem lies.
The question is would we have got better value keeping Vorm on the bench at a cost of £1.5m-£2m in wages than by letting him go for free? | | | |

QPR? £20m. Anyone else? Take the zero off. £2-3m maybe? I dunno. Not a lot though.
He's only worth what we can sell him for, and while Liverpool were mentioned I didn't exactly see a billing war going for him. Plus remember we already signed his replacement and if we didn't get rid we'd be left with an unhappy goalkeeper who would likely cost us somewhere around £2m a year to sit on the bench. That's a significant factor. We wanted rid and we found a taker. Could we have got more if we'd waited? Possibly. Has someone of his quality been sold for loads more in the past? Undoubtedly.
Vorm's been junk for about 18 months. He had something like a 60% save percentage at some point last season, which is beyond awful. That Southampton game burnt the last bridge for me. I'm just glad we've replaced him with someone IMO who is better and without costing us in the process. | |

Don't be ridiculous - No one wanted him!??
What makes you think you know that then?
We already know Liverpool and Spurs made enquiries. Fack, he even went to one of them (not bad for no-one wanting him) haha. | |

Haha!!!
So you reluctantly came up with £2m to £3m and that you had to grit your teeth to type out.
So adding on at least another half a million to a million to apply some more rationality into your "value" you're talking £3m to £4m.
That sounds about right for a Dutch international first team Premier League regular.
That, Andrew, is his true value and that would have netted Utrecht, what, £500k to £800k or so... | |

You're confusing value if someone was looking to buy him versus value we'd sell him just to get him off the books.
The former might well be £4m. The latter could well be nil. | |

There's no way in Gods earth would we just get rid of a sale-able asset of £3m to £4m just to get him off the books.
Vorm is not a free transfer player. No way at all.
Can you imagine the uproar on here if we'd got shot for Jackshit!?!? | |

just one correction (or 2 actually).
When he was sold he was a third choice Dutch goalkeeper and the Swansea City back up goalkeeper to the one that we had already (note timings here) brought in from Arsenal.
£1.5m - £2m for the Swansea back up goalie seems like a fair price to me. | | | |

If he's costing us £2m a year, and we need to free up the cash for whatever reason, then it's quite likely we'd accept a much lower price isn't it?
Maybe not free, but a 50% reduction for a quick sale and get him off the books? Sounds quite plausible to me.

Haha!
Yes, that's one way to rationalise it and even that would provide Utrecht with a sell on fee.
Do you think we would have touted him as back-up keeper when tying to sell him then? The rhetoric coming from the club would be they would fight it out for no. 1.
Poor effort, Lisa, very poor. | |
