Does anyone itk have any details on the Bouanani situation, have we made a down payment already or have we just paid a loan fee?
Was hoping we have made a down payment already affecting the option to buy of 15 million meaning it would be less if we opt to keep him?
Maybe just wishful thinking or hoping 🙄.

This looks like one of they loan deals that improve the team short term but we aren't going to make permanent , not at that price anyway . that's not to criticise the player I just don't see us laying out that type of money for any player in the near future.

When we have Godfrey and Penrice to be paid for so unless we get big money for some body don't see it happening.

When Chermiti got injured and the club realised how long he'd be out for we bought Kelsy without having to sell. Min-Su was also added.
I think if we were to win the league with a shot at Champions league the club would pay for Bouanani.

AC has said the plan is for 2 big signings a year and no more massive ins and outs every window.
Penrice is only another million euros so can as good as not count that.
Godfrey only around 4 million but he'll only stay if he's in the team by seasons end.
I think if buonani keeps performing like he is the club would definitely pay the fee. Remember it's in euros so that's around £12m not 15.
I think it will come down to the player and what other offers he gets.

Spent 18.5m when out of Europe, Bouanani performs well, reckon he'll be signed.

Could be great all season still don't think we put that money out on him , does not mean we won't get him though just means others can come in for him if we try to get him for a lower fee.

Wouldn't be so sure Cooper, we'd know we wouldn't get Ferguson for 12m, but interested.
27 Oct 2026 23:37:27
Think we'd get Ferguson for 12m next summer though.

Bouanani is the younger version of cerny by the looks of it. If we could negotiate down a bit its doable. He looks like he's cemented his place as a starter.

Lets see how the season goes. accounts be out next week ish, next seasons will be grim.

Beale, I absolutely think we will sign Lewis in the summer mate.
I think we'll sell Raskin and sign Lewis for around £10m give or take £2m
I think buonanni for about £10m would also be a realistic signing.

Didn't know it was 15m for Bouanani!!!
Enjoy while he's here lads,, we won't pay that & still loads to shift & a couple needing payments still...
Nice thought though..
