Cummings transfer - was it a free?

[JohnMcM]

Sky Sports transfer news has Cummings as a free to Nottingham Forest. Surely that can't be correct?

[Diclonius]

It'll be an error - the reported price keeps going down.

Next month the press will be reporting we paid Forest to take Cummings!

Not being cheeky but was it not obvious that Sky made a mistake.

You think its worth debating if we got rid of our - under contract - top scorer on a free?

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Anywhere between Free and £2.2m

[PatHead]

Cost us £2.2 million to get rid of that .........

[SunshineOnLeith]

We paid them 150k. FACT.

[offshorehibby]

I heard we got a magic hat for him.

[Keith_M]

Forest paid his bus fare to Nottingham but nothing more.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Forest paid his bus fare to Nottingham but nothing more.

Hmmmmm, you're forgetting the European adaptor

[Sir David Gray]

Forest paid his bus fare to Nottingham but nothing more.

They threw in a free travel adapter though.

FACT

Minus 2 quid on the mega bus I heard, cheaper than the national express! Bargain........

Nobody knows what the fee is, although it doesn't appear to have been a big one. We let our main source of goals leave for a seemingly bad deal, when he wasn't agitating for a move and we didn't have a certain replacement lined up - as we are still trying to persuade Stokes with a week to go until the season starts. It doesn't make sense.

Free + £1m postage and packaging.

He might not have been agitating for a move, but he wanted out and we signed Simon Murray almost straight away.

Did we really? 🤔

[Mick O'Rourke]

We got a sizable fee for Jason.(whatever it was)
Plus a magic hat;-)

Hertz and Hutchie Vale got a few quid too

No, it's total bollox. Sky Sports - what are they like eh? :rolleyes:

[Ferry green]

Fee not as high as has been eluded to on here... quite a bit below in fact. But the result of the sell on agreement will be huge for Hibs if he moves onwards and upwards after N Forrest

3 different forest fans I've met down here at separate times all say £1.8m with a sell on clause. Make of that what you will.

So if nobody knows how doesn't it appear to have been a big one ?

Not being privy to inside deals Green Day, I had no intention of debating the point. I was only asking a question.

Hibernian peace be upon you my green brother/sister. :wink:

:greengrin very good :aok:

Even if we only got the hat, its still more than the yams let him go for, and we got all the goals.

Jeez you need some joy in your life, we have moved on made plenty of signings, the goals are flowing and there's still time.

Hope Hutchie Vale got more than Hearts..

As I said on another thread, its not until the audit for the year is done and dusted, we will then get factual figures.

Remember, if we said we got £2 million then any player we then try to go for, the other team will bump up the price for their player knowing we have the money!

So, its better to have transfers as undisclosed, as it keep the money in our club not bolstering others!!!!

[madabouthibs]

JC signed an extension to his contract, I'd say there's a good chance there was clauses within that would enable him to talk to other clubs if a pre-agreed offer was made. Perhaps Hibs agreed to this being a relatively meagre amount? Maybe 0.5 or 0.75 million, for example?
Mean't that we kept him for at least another season, and we got something back for him if he did leave. Therefore it worked out for both parties. 😁
Just maybe though.......

No we won't.

That's how you avoid paying a fee on eBay

Smart stuff

I remember Alex miller talking about the Keith Wright transfer and saying every selling club overstates the price they get and every buying club underestimates the price they paid. The fact we we were willing to pay fees for berry paid a fee for our new Lithuanian midfielder and are offering stokes a very substantial deal suggests hibs got a substantial amount for Cummings. I have been told it's £1m up front rising to £1.5m plus other add ons by a pretty damn good source. Like everybody else it will be probably next years accounts till we see the actual figure. It's all irrelevant ad we are still paying fees for players and attempting to spend a lot on stokesy. I'm sure some on here will use anything to beat up the club. Sad really.
