I'd worry about going into a season in the Premier League without last season's best defender, best striker and second-best (by a whisker) midfielder.

Well Abraham wont come back but he's been replaced, Mings could still come and Mcginn has not gone anywhere so I'd not worry too much.
Quote from: Clark W Griswold on June 30, 2019, 09:04:00 AMI think the point is Risso, neither us or Man Utd know how good he is really as he's never played a game in the PL to be fully tested. In which case, £50m sounds like a ridiculous gamble, which i reckon is a bolllox story but i suppose you never fail to be suprised with modern football. It also depends from our point of view how much of a problem it is from FFP and our own resources to be paying £11m for Target, £22m for Wesley, £14m or whatever for Mings, £22m for Butland and £25m or so for Phillips. If we don't really need the money (as i suspect we don't) that's one consideration, but as i stated earlier, whichever way you look at it £50m whould make good business sense for us regardless.Perfect blueprint for having plenty of money in the bank and getting relegated.

Yes.
Did Hibs have the foresight to insert an sell-on clause?
I doubt there is a maximum amount. 15% according to a Hibs forum but they seem to be speculating wildly.

And is it up to a maximum amount?I don’t think I’ve seen one more than 20% of profit. So less than £10 million. It would be great business by everyone, and set up by Steve Bruce in fairness to him. I’d be tempted in all honesty, get that Leeds fella or the equivalent and move on. I’d rather not, but this is where we’re at right now. Bigger clubs can still click their fingers.
Paying Martial and Sanchez's big fat wage bill will soon get rid os that £50M.
