Independent Leyton Orient Forum

On the charlton live forum they are talking about Bonne going in the transfer window. Someone has posted up a link to talksport and it says Newcastle, Leicester and Fulham lead the chase to sign him.

Interesting, especially if we have a sell on clause.

Dont see why they would sell so soon.

Lad done good if that's the case. Fair play.

££££££££££ would be one potential reason to sell

Maybe because these clubs are offering ridiculously good money. As others have said, let’s hope there is a sell on clause. We could certainly do with the extra money

No chance.

Can't see it happening myself.

If he could get double figures before January he might be in a very good position and some team might gamble.

You'd think we have a very good sell on-clause to compensate for the low £200k we got.

The clubs are only "showing interest".

I don't think we had a sell on. From memory the £200k was a release figure put into Bonne's contract to get him to sign an additional 12 months so we did not lose him for nowt in the summer.

That's what I imagine too

We heard about the £200k as that was the headline contractual clause that meant he could leave if we were offered that figure. It doesn't necessarily mean a sell on wasn't also in there (or other terms).

Would it be £0?
I thought Bonne was under 24 at the time and we would have gotten compo.

TBH I don't think the sell-on clause would make much difference to him, or be a game-changer for a buying club as they seem pretty standard, not in the same way as setting a low fee to not block his exit. It would be incompetent if we didn't have one, as Luton made £1.8m in payments when Andre Gray moved to Burley from Brentford (Gray was a player with very similar career trajectory to that point).

Getting a low fee upfront and a bigger sell-on clause may turn out to be wise if Colchester had a sell-on.

Loads of experts on contacts & the terms of deals Orient did with Bonne & later with Charlton.

No idea what the deal is, just think it's not unreasonable to expect a good sell-on. It would be absurd not to have one.

Even when George Porter went to tribunal it gave us a percentage of future profits.

Leicester interested in Bonne? Really???

Highly unlikely. We had very little bargaining position and did fairly well to get a £200k clause in the deal, as he only had 6 months left to run. No doubt that clause cost us £20-30k in increased wages for Bonne, but he earned it. Never stopped running even in the last minute of the last game.
