How many more times do people need telling. We got £3.5m for Gomez as that was what was put in his contract as a buy out. If we hadn't agreed to that then he would never have signed it and we wouldn't have got a quarter of that.
It doesn't mean that was what his value at the time of sale really was.

Liverpool were not the only side that were aware of him, even in this country. Having a £3.5m release clause doesn't mean you sell him out of the blue to the 1st bidder. 6weeks before the window shut. His value was only going to increase the longer we held out and a leak to the press would have helped.
Having people in charge of your club who know nothing of football means you sell your diamonds for peanuts and buy donkeys for fortunes. Proof is in our transfer dealings, never mind the punts that have paid off.
The Belgian lap top says that there are some Albanian strikers with better stats who will work for less money.
We'd love to keep him but Roland says 28 players only in the squad regardless of age, injury or experience. As the owner says 28 is enough for his electronics company HQ so why would any company need more.
Well he's still got two years left. So he can either sign a new contract and earn more money or see out the remaining length of his contract on basic money.
That's the approach we should take instead of selling to a big club for peanuts.
We have had a mini golden generation through, and the best of them need to be sold for enough peanuts to half mitigate against Duchatelet's very poor decision making. If he is acting on advice then those advisors need to be dismissed.

I know for a fact that the up front payment was £5.5m

In which case that makes even more of a mockery of the "the owner has invested £9m in players" claim.
I don't actually blame KM on the deal or the amount re:Gomez but they can't have it both ways.
Let's hope that when Lookman does move on we manage to get the best deal possible and also have a sell on clause as well for any further transfer fees.
He is an exciting player so there will be plenty of interest for him.

Not trying to be rude but unless you are Gomez, Katrien or Gomez's agent how do you know ? The press are adamant it is £3.5m and, as independent third parties, in my opinion they are rather more credible than a CEO belatedly trying to cover her botty or any other Club spokesman for that matter.

Not being rude but how do you or the press know it was £3.5m? - they pull figures from thin air and often cant get simple details wrong from outside the Premier League because they're lazy

I don't know for sure but more than one press source, as well as Liverpool FC incidentally, have quoted £3.5m so on the balance of probabilities my inclination is to believe that figure above unsubstantiated rumours from Board apologists whom have a vested interest in spinning things and trying to make them look better than they really are.

There's no such thing as a "buy out" in this context.
The figure of £3.5m apparently quoted in Gomez's contract was more of a trigger clause ....... meaning that once a bid of at least that figure had been received, the club was obliged to inform the player/agent of confirmed interest from another club.
That doesn't imply that £3.5m was the actual transfer fee.
Gomez was under contract to Charlton - and would be transferred only when the club had negotiated what it considered was the best transfer fee obtainable.

Liverpool didn't mention the fee at all when the move was announced (unless you mean they did at a later date?)

Must have been later. My daughter's boyfriend is a Liverpool fan and gets club updates and the rest of it and he gave me that figure before it became more generally known.

As far as I'm aware Liverpool have never officially quoted a fee.
