10menwent2mow Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Reasonable signing for 'Rangers'. Interesting the quotes from Wilson re the transfer and Genk working creatively. To me, this would suggest Rangers couldn't afford the £4.5m fee that was agreed upon originally.I'm hypothesising here but I wouldn't be surprised if, in addition to getting £3m over three years, Genk have added in a very very hefty sell on clause to make up the shortfall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Imagine a team trying to get the lowest transfer fee possible. Damn those Sevvies!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10menwent2mow Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I'm not suggesting they've done a bad thing by doing that. Merely suggesting that they may have saved money in the short term that will end up costing them more money in the long term.If Hagi is as good a player as Rangers fans seem to believe he is, he will be there for two seasons, tops. If Genk have inserted sell on clauses at say 50% of any fee Rangers get and perhaps a further large percentage of any sell on clause that Rangers insert into his next sale then the £1.5m they have 'saved' will soon be dwarfed by the money they have to pay Genk from future sales. Perhaps Genk have also insisted that there is a release clause at say £10m meaning Rangers would have no choice but to sell him. In short, there is no way that Genk have simply given up on £1.5m without taking their pound of flesh in the future. Hagi will merely be looking at Rangers as a stepping stone and not want to be there a minute longer than he has to be.Then again, short term thinking never did the old Rangers any harm, did it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've paid for the name - he is not the player his father was. In fairness, very few players were or are. His father was absolutely brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insaintee Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I think it if fair to say that Covid-19 has made deals like this easier. I'm hopeful of a couple of players coming to St Mirren that in normal circumstances we would not get. Hagi is decent, certainly had one good game, and really that was all he needed in that team to be a star. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I know transfer fees are going to drop but 3 mill for Hagi is still good business for Sevco. A far more talented player than Kent, doesn’t appear to be a moron and over half the price with more pedigree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_don Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Think we will all just need to wait and see how he does after a pre-season and more games. Braga was standout with 2 goals and an assist - you can’t deny that. But should we factor into this speculation that press reported Genk paid 8 million euros for him July 2019 - so why would they let him go a year later for around half? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t surprise me if there was a sell on clause in exchange for a reduction in the transfer fee. Wont be anywhere near 50% though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10menwent2mow Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Yeah, no idea what it will be and to be fair I was just plucking figures from the air. I'd suggest it will be substantial enough though that Genk would be guaranteed to make up at least the £1.5m that the fee has dropped by and as I've said, they may also have insisted on a release clause so that Rangers can't turn down silly money if it comes on offer.There was also a suggestion that there were plenty other clubs around Europe sniffing around Hagi (I'm aware a lot of this was being drummed up by his agent) who perhaps would've met the fee without the need for sell on clauses. The deal undoubetley suits both clubs at the moment but as I've said, I can't see why Genk would give up the £1.5m without substantial sweeteners.

Its being reported in the Romanian media that Rangers pad £1m for the loan deal back in January. Its possible that, due to the loan not being completed, Genk agreed to waive some of the transfer fee and also request a sell on clause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only really seen him in the 15 minutes he got against us at Ibrox and can't really judge him on that. Seems a good technical player but from what I've heard the European games perhaps suited him more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
