Essentially for the purpose of the books. They can put £40m down as a bulk income, and then £10m out as instalments over a period of months or a couple of years.
Same as what we'll do with the outgoing payment to Leeds.
Who the hell is the bloke 115 charges have nicked off us?
I just want us to pay whatever it takes to get the number 1 striker option - and I would rather see Parrott get a chance to be back up than Richy tbh
Think the problem we got with richarlison is that the club wants to sell him or Ange really can't count on him but he don't want to go and also the club has got to be careful the way they go about things with how his personal life was not that long ago.
Highlights how fucking shit they are
Richarlison was injured
Richy was injured
Kasper schmichal on a free anyone as back up
It's certainly not a dumb idea if he would go for it. He's better than Vics understudies, but what's his kicking like?
Wolves are in for him apparently
I know that he flopped at Chelski and has not done more than "decent" (for his standards) at Barcelona...but £13m isn't bad for such a player...

Benfica have reportedly opened talks with Atletico Madrid about a shock deal to take back Joao Felix five years after they sold him - for a slither of the price.
Felix became the fourth-most expensive player in history in July 2019 when Benfica sold him to Atletico for £114million.
Five seasons, two loan spells, and one huge fall-out with Atletico boss Diego Simeone later, and Benfica want him back for a relatively piddling £12.7m.
That's according to Spanish outlet Sport, who report that Atletico are holding out for a fee above £21m.
As part of the deal, Benfica would purchase 50 per cent of the player's rights, meaning Atletico would be entitled to half of the future fee if they sell him on.
The prime issue for Benfica is his £6.7m per year salary, which would make him their third-highest earner after Angel Di Maria and Juan Bernat, according to Capology.
Selling defender Antonio Silva, 20, would help. Manchester United, Chelsea, and Newcastle have all been linked with the centre-back, whose wayward pass led to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's opening goal in the 2-0 defeat by Georgia last week.

'We want them to continue. Deco is working to ensure that they continue another season in the current conditions,' club chief Joan Laporta said on the President's Podcast on Barca One.
'[Hansi] Flick considers that they are high-quality players and when he coached Bayern he already tried to incorporate Joao Felix. I think that Felix could have performed better because he has extraordinary quality.'
Fabrizio Romano tweeted that Barca informed agent Jorge Mendes of their intention to keep the two players.
He added: 'Laporta and Deco agree on the plan, Hansi Flick already gave his green light. Concrete talks with Atletico and Man City are yet to start but both players want to stay.'
However, Barcelona's financial restrictions mean they would face a challenge to fund keeping both permanently.
At Atletico, Simeone has never been much of a fan of Felix's attitude on and of the ball.
Last summer he was spotted training with Atletico's youth team and the two have been frosty when given the chance to publicly discuss each other.

Release clause was £40, which we activated.
Rodon 10-15 banded about
Richy is fragile mentally. He won’t go well as a backup striker
But that's what he was bought as.
Sweet
Problem is they will all use the Levy tactic from previous years and wait it out to get him cheaper.
Still, as long as it’s still enough time to line up decent cover for Udogie we should be fine
No. He was bought as successor to Kane. He just hasn’t done enough.
I actually think Kulu best position may be as Kane-lite striker.
Positives
- has an eye for goal
- slow like kane
- holds the ball up
- brings others into the game
- creative
- great work rate
Negatives
- debatable in the air
- inconsistent
- ginger
edit: what I’m suggesting is Kulu is a decent backup, not preferred no. 9
