If he stays and gets seriously injured he may be worth nothing.

if he stays and fails to score for the rest of the season he will still be worth millions.

It’s actually a £20 mill deal with all the add-ons

Talking of 'IFs' ...

IF he stays and helps get us promoted

IF he then performs well in the Championship, scoring enough goals to keep us in the top half

Then bids will come in from the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, etc. in the region of £20m+

Please put the numbers into your spreadsheet, Mr Rice.

Yes but he’d still be worth millions. There is little risk in keeping him until the end of the season.

Refs get so much grief, and it's nice when someone points out something they saw that almost everyone else missed!

Peter Taylor got us promoted and came to the Berks Agricultural College where a group of us were doing our FA level 2 badges for a Q&A session. Decent bloke in my view.

Football is very much in the moment. His stock would drop very quickly if the goals dried up.

I watched it back. Does indeed look like a handball. The player who scored sort of jumped at it sideways and it looks like it went in off his upper arm/tricep area

Great spot from the ref

If Kone stays and this time next year has 10+ championship goals he would be worth 20 million or more. A lot of ifs but not inconceivable

And if he stays and gets seriously injured or loses form , he may be worth nothing and never get the big wage.

Lets see where this ends up
