Bashir Humphreys

Fabrizio Romano reporting that the fee is a £12m fixed fee, plus £2.7m of add ons, plus a sell-on clause.

If true, I'd have to say that is some good work from our sporting directors. They do seem better at selling players than buying them !

I'd say the fee is low, certainly if Guehi's trajectory is anything to go by. Well, we will see how he gets on anyway.

But is Humphreys anywhere near as good as Guehi was, even at a comparable timeline in their respective careers ?

Don't think he is ... but as you say, it will be interesting to see how he does, and good luck to him. No mention on CFC article about obligation to buy clause - just talks about it as a loan. Mind you, they were a bit vague with the Hall details at the time he was loaned as well ...

It's been reported by Fabrizio as an obligation to buy. Guehi's two-season loan at Swansea didn't start well but he knuckled down, worked hard, grew into the job. I'd've kept him but they were different times. Humphreys is nowhere near as advanced as him in a comparable timeline. Swansea weren't enamoured last season but he had injury problems.

In fairness though Bash's loans haven't been as high profile/successful. His time at Swansea was a bit of a slog for that season i think. Didn't really play from Feb onwards after an injury.
