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.

You're quite right but until we do sign Mings and Man Utd go fuck themselves it'll be a nagging worry.

I doubt there is a maximum amount. 15% according to a Hibs forum but they seem to be speculating wildly.

I doubt there is much to this story, but if there is then c’est la vie. Players come and players go. ‘Twas ever thus.

I 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.

What is? Spending nearly £100m on 5 players and resisting offers for McGinn that are well short of £50m. I would have said that's a blue print for splashing a fortune and establishing ourselves back in the Premier League, not quite sure what you're expecting?

Yes.

What percentage? 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.

Did Hibs have the foresight to insert an sell-on clause?
Yes.
We expect our Scottish friends to be frugal and fiducial in such matters.

Money isnt the issue, getting someone as good as SJM is if we sold him.

So you'd sell one of our best players just because a big team supposedly put in a bid so we can 'move on'?

£50 million is what we want, according to the article. Any less does us no favours as it just means Bournemouth, Bristol, Leeds, etc will all bump up their prices for players we are after.

If he has to go I'd rather they make up the deal with players so throw in Tuanzebe, Sanchez and Martial plus cash and I'd think about it.

I personally think it's a load of made up bollocks. Didn't he have a twitter spat with The Sun prior to this 'story' coming out?

Paying Martial and Sanchez's big fat wage bill will soon get rid os that £50M.

They’ll both be prepared to take a pay cut to join a more prestigious club.

It’s funny how this gets mentioned the moment talks about a new contract start. I wouldn’t rule out an agent leak to push for a better deal. He will sign a new deal and stay for a couple of years.
