I know it probably shouldn't be viewed this way but Carl Jenkinson worth almost as much as the club he used to play for... No wonder some Premier League managers complain about the crazy prices in the transfer market these days. Anyway, this is great news for us as long as there is going to be a sell-on fee. I've watched a couple of West Ham games this season and glad to see he's doing well there.
I still think Chris Solly is the better player. I'm not joking.
Solly's problem (and our benefit) is that he's not tall enough (So teams dont want to give him a chance) not to mention his knees, if he was as tall as Jenkinson and was injury free then he'd be England's Right Back in my opinion
Yeah, right, and if I had my own web site, some brain cells and a computerised voice, I'd be Stephen Hawking.....

Thing is Kyle Walker and Glen Johnson our two regular Right-Backs for England are only picked because they've got pace... Could pick anyone out of the GB Athletics teams to do that job yet like with Walcott their delivery is as good as the post office - Gary Neville was never the quickest of Right-Backs but he didnt need to have pace as he was always thinking one step ahead (knew how to cross the ball into the box too)
Its like with John Terry, he's getting slower in his old age but he's still class because of his ability to be there at the right time and place (And as the song goes... Chris Solly is better than John Terry FACT lol!)
The Jenkinson fee was £1.5m, plus £250k in add-ons, plus a 15% sell-on (over and above).
This is what funded the team building in 2012. I was sceptical about that in part because I originally believed the fee was less, but this is reliable.
So say Arsenal do sell him for 12m, we would get roughly 1.5m of the 10.5m profit?
£1,575,000.00 - Not bad, could be the wages for a strong Loanee.

The thing we need to take into account before getting excited about a cut is that this could all be a fiddle. I think Arsenal are only quoting this comedy price on Jenks in order to give themselves leverage in getting Winston Reid. If they quote 12m now then they can get a smaller, more realistic fee for Jenkinson under the logic that Reid contributes something like 4m as a cost himself and Arsenal don't have to wait until summer and risk having other suitors get involved. It might be that Jenks will go there for less in summer and Arsenal will move for Reid on a free then, but the exchange thing is possible. I think Swansea tried a fiddle like this with the Sigurdsson/Vorm and Davies deal to avoid paying a sell-on fee to Utrecht over Vorm.

Also they didn't cash in the Shelvey one.
He didn't or at least not in 2012. We had other leverage over Arsenal.
My mistake, but as the story goes he did seem to care that we got more than the basic fee for him
the transfer information who supplies that as that might clear this up, as on there it says 20% profit (I just recieved 200k as he moved to West Ham)
so is the 20% done by you, the arsenal guy or made up by SI
Its like with John Terry, he's getting slower in his old age but he's still class because of his ability to be there at the right time and place (And as the song goes... Chris Solly is better than John Terry FACT lol!)
So assuming all the add ons have kicked in I make that £1.53m
But only if West Ham do pay £12m in the first place and don't end up swapping him for a West Ham player who both clubs value at 20p
But no he's not as skilful and not as good at cutting out crosses than some RB's in this league.
Kermorgant
Poyet
Stephens
And just for fun give us 50% of Pogbas next transfer
Theres a good lad
