Bassey away to fullham 21 million is that a wee 2.1 million to us then? Sky saying we get 10 percent obviously the deal was not just on profit and righty so.

Incredible business for bassey, his first season he didn’t even look like he would make it at Ibrox then has an incredible year winning the Scottish cup and making europa league final, a think we missed the likes of him and aribo physicality last year, replaced bassey with ben Davies and aribo with matondo big drop in quality imo.

Storm, sky saying not on profit but whole fee

There was a story last season if they sold him b4 all addons we get ten percent off fee

We receive approximately 1 million euros July 1 based on his appearances during season.

I don’t think Ross Wilson covered himself in glory last year tbh. The money we will get from the Bassey deal won’t be half as much as what we lost in the Aribo deal. When we agreed to sell him for £7M instead of £10M but with a higher sell on. Absolutely crazy!

I’m blessed someone bids £50M for him of course ?.

13.) 22 Jul 2023

Can’t agree zikos we get the ten million with the addons, aribo very poor to date in England.

14.) 22 Jul 2023
22 Jul 2023 13:55:06
How can you say the money we lost for Aribo Ziko? We got him for a few hundred thousand and sold him for 6 million and he didn't want to play for Rangers anymore hence why he downed tools after the African cup of nations. He doesn't get much game time for Southampton so he won't be getting sold for very much any time soon. I don't know how many of the add ons he would have made us but i would guess it won't be much.

15.) 22 Jul 2023
22 Jul 2023 13:59:18
With the initial fee + sell on + part of the clauses Bassey can’t be far off the most expensive Scottish transfer ever. Given that he really only stepped up and played excellent for 6 months and that he had 2 years left it’s been an incredible deal for us. I think he’ll thrive in the premier league.

16.) 22 Jul 2023
22 Jul 2023 14:21:58
Bassey has not signed for Fulham.

The 21 million quoted above would be euros, ie18 mill, so not a bonus to rangers.

We only get 10% if they made any profit, ie 19 mi Sterling

However addons pass to Fulham as deal was within three years. So should amounts unt to same.

€21 million euro not pounds.

Totally disagree zikos in we got a good deal for aribo he has bombed down there.

19.) 22 Jul 2023
22 Jul 2023 14:35:37
Aribo never downed tools after the African nation cup that’s just nonsense IMO.


David I think Bassey will get found out if he moves to epl he certainly never set the world on fire in the Dutch league.

22 Jul 2023 15:21:24
Three Cheers - Southampton offered £10M with no add ons and Ross Wilson wanted a sell on so accepted approx £7M with a sell on.

But that only makes sense if Southampton sell him for mega money and even then it’s only marginally better than the additional £3M up front.

21.) 22 Jul 2023
22 Jul 2023 15:59:33
Is the aribo add on not 35%.

22 Jul 2023 17:12:26
I obviously don’t have any proof as I’ve not seen the transfer contracts, the same as everyone else on this site. But it’s what was reported by media outlets at the time.

We were offered £10M ONLY, or £7M with sell on.

26.) 22 Jul 2023
22 Jul 2023 17:45:59
John even if it was 35% (which I doubt) if he got sold for £15M we would have received £2.8M. Still less than the £3M initial fee we rejected!

Southampton also have a DoF that operates the best interest of their club and in this occasion they got the better deal.

Aribo has been shocking down in england and we got a good deal on him as he wouldn't get a look in starting for us now. He had talent but i was never totally convinced by aribo and did post as much when he was playing for us.

Storm do a quick google search and you will find the reports from back then. . It could be BS, but doubt it based on Aribo having a £10M release clause (another mistake by RW) .

Sir Walter - I would take Aribo over any of our current players playing the RW position, he could also play anywhere in the midfield. Thought he was brilliant for us and if anything we relied on him too much.

It's definitely sell on. Profit/ loss out our hands.

Well done GIO more like he was the one show spotted Basseys potential as a CB, all wilson done was made sure leicester got the 250k development fee, for a player Gerrard and beale identified and wanted.

had gio not moved him froma backup option for barisic to a fully fledged CB, bassey would have languished on the bench and no doubt been discovered elswhere once we offloaded him on the cheap.

we picked up bassey during C.V. when leicester had to cut there wage bill and released most of there youth team players, prior to that we had zero interest in bassey, although gerrard and beale were well aware of his potential, more so beale.

Gio deserves all the credit for spotting his true potential and moved him into his best position, i highly doubt we would have made it anywhere near the europa final had it not been for bassey forming a superb understanding with goldson at the back, a partnership we have failed miserably since basseys departure to rectify, in the long run we could end spending more than we got for bassey, making his sale a stupid piece of business, if we go through 3-4 LCB's until we find one capable of offering what bassey gave us at the back.
neither bassey or patterson should have been sold, we would have done much better in the Chamls league group stage with both players in the team, and if we reallistically wnat to be of that level again we need to start keeping player of that quality.
some will say we need the money, a better run in the group stages would bring in similiar money, facts.
